Wall St Journal ran a nice long piece about Apple's new president, Tim Cook. Needless to say, Mr. Cook is having a spot of bother filling in for Steve Jobs. According to the Journal, Tim is cutting the mustard, but it's hard work. They go on to talk about management styles, clothing styles, hair styles, and other fluff 'n stuff.
It is a full page piece, with photographs.
Not once does the Journal talk about how Jobs built Apple into what it is today. Jobs could envision a new product, get it designed, get it into production, get it out to market. And Jobs' products sold, like hot cakes. Apple II, Macintosh, Ipod, Iphone, Ipad, every one of them was new, nothing like it on the market, priced right, low enough to sell, high enough to turn a profit. Good styling. The right functions. Not since Thomas Edison has one man put out so many brand new products.
The real question us readers have, is "Can Tim Cook bring another successful new Apple product to market?" This Journal piece didn't even attempt to answer that question.
