Review: I have seen Tim Cook in action as an executive and have only been impressed with the manner in which he manipulates the system to put himself in the most favorable light. A perfect example of the modern corporate man. God help Apple if he ever takes command.

Review: Apple exemplifies what many companies wished they had: a culture that goes beyond people's individual capabilities. Steve Jobs is a proven leader that cannot be replaced. Yet, even when Steve was not at Apple, Apple was still Apple, albeit painfully demoted. I believe Steve is doing what any powerfully-charismatic leader with an understanding of succession should do: slowly start to share the stage with other leaders, as he did at Apple's Oct. 12 unveiling of the new iPod when he had Robert Iger on board. Anyone that knows what went on between Jobs and Disney when Eisner was around can appreciate the beauty of this move for the future of Apple, Steven, and who knows, even Pixar (and why not, Disney too).
What will happen next is, as always when it comes to Apple, anybody's dream. All I hope for is to have Steve stick around for as long as possible. I can't wait to see what Apple will come up with in the future. It certainly has been amazing and fun so far.

Review: Apple Computer has always been the maverick in this biz. I do not own any stock. Who knows what Jobs et al has up their sleeve but you can be assured they are years ahead of the herd. I hung with Apple ever since my first Apple II cx back in the days when Apple's demise was only a matter of months away. I guess I just want to say way to go!

Review: Apple Computer is the best corporation in the U.S. Steve Jobs is certainly the one who made that happen.
Whatever lies ahead, Apple is sustainable, as exemplified by Cook. There are also many others.
Unfortunately, there are many jealous people who take bites out of Apple. They too shall be overcome by Apple.

Review: I really think Apple wouldn't be Apple without Steve Jobs. I think the growth the company has been exhibiting over the last few years is for the most part due to him. The management skills and ingenuity he possesses are second to none and replacing him will be tough. I do think the stock will see more upside in the future with its stable of products and prospects, baring a huge misstep by Apple.
