How can this story be about whether TC is any good? The story is about Apple having a little fun after the Presidiot blundered again. When I first saw this I thought it was fake news, literally. That someone had edited the video for humor. But no - this really is the president of the US. So sad.
It’s funny watching people make an issue of this. We quickly dismiss and forget our own stupid word mistakes, but then are quick to jump on Trump about it with a deceptively hidden suggestion that he’s stupid for saying it.
If anyone is making an issue out of this like they would toward a friend, then great. Enjoy. Otherwise, your hypocrisy is showing.
Tim does not in any way represent the legacy of Apple. Him taking that name is an insult to everyone who carried Apple.
Given that Jobs hand-selected the guy, this seems false at its face.
Also "everyone who carried Apple." Who is inside that classification?
Every day Tim is spitting in the face of the Mac users, the great programmers who made MacOS and great, game changing applications a reality. These are the men and women who carried the Apple through the hard years while Tim was still at Compaq. He also spits in the face of all those customers who believed in the company despite the continuous and relentless onslaught by the press, the finance sector, the naysayers in enterprise IT and telecoms, and Microsoft in particular. Without them, Apple would have been long gone, and you all would have been stuck with not so great products.
It is a disgrace how the Mac has been handled under his "leadership". It is a disgrace how he has politicized the company and it will backfire on him spectacularly in the long run.
Tim Apple sounds catchy. Better than Satya Microsoft. I think Donald USA will sound fine. Tim Cook is the easiest name to remember. Maybe Donald Trump doesn't want to confuse with one of his cooks named Tim.

What on earth are you talking about? Rather that frothing at the mouth, can you construct a convincing, rational argument for why we should believe a word of your diatribe?

Oh, fuck off. Tim has been carrying Apple since the early days of Jobs, managed to do an amazing enough job to be hand-picked as CEO by Jobs, and has since propelled Apple to unimaginable heights and explosive success. No, what's embarrassing, and insulting, are people like who, who viciously and baselessly snipe at Cook, most likely based on your own inadequacies and lack of success in your life. Tim Cook has proven himself a million times over, and the fact that you get outraged because he - Apple's CEO for the past 8 years- put an Apple logo beside his name on Twitter says a lot about you. You, and people like you, have been wishing desperately for Cook to "fail" ever since he took the position. You're been predicting it every single days for the last 8 years, and every fucking day you've been proven to be more and more wrong. Yet, never in a million years would you have the honesty and character to admit that. So you'll keep pretending it's true, flying in the face of every fact imaginable.
First I thought the video clip was slightly funny, then when it picked up by the media I thought they are making too big a deal out of this and Trump just misspoke and forgot to say the word "from", i.e. Tim from Apple. But then I watched it again and there was no pause or anything and he does actually call him Tim Apple and I laughed even harder! If only Amber Rudd's mistake yesterday was as entertaining, it was depressing because the media edited out her correcting herself a sentence or 2 later.
I doubt that Trump's "mistakes" in this regard are actually mistakes per se. He thinks he's witty, so I'm sure they're mostly on purpose.
But I gotta admit, "Jeff Bozo" is pretty damned funny. I literally laughed out loud the first time I read that.
I agree on both counts. And it's immature and juvenile behavior for a POTUS. He still thinks 'running' the country is the same as running one of his companies. To him, he's just a CEO playing with somebody else's money. Running the country?! No big deal. Sometimes he makes Geo W look like a Rhodes scholar. Ok, maybe not quite.
Well, sure, and if appeared he'd spent hours and hours of daily "executive time" obsessing and rage tweeting about it, then Apple shareholders should probably be worried.
Since it would've taken him 8.5 seconds to change his twitter handle for a laff (even less if he delegated the task to whichever assistant handles his tweets), maybe it'll just be alright.

Many metrics indicate that he has done a better job with other people's money than previous admins. How about that Iran deal? I'm sure most taxpayers weren't thrilled about it when it came to light.

The Jeff Bezos one is deliberate but Tim's one sounded like a slip of the tongue. How would you say out loud Tim (Apple) or Tim.. Apple? The transcript says "Tim - Apple". He's not calling him Tim Apple. But everybody likes a laugh so of course that's how news entertainment has decided it was intended. It's a well-earned association anyhow, Tim Cook hasn't defined what Apple is as a company, that was already in place, he has stewarded Apple's legacy over the past few years without faltering. Lesser people would not have done the same, it would be the easiest thing in the world to just take the money and live an easy life. Apple will be his life's work and it's better served because of it.

Donnie President would claim to invent "Apple" and responsible for its success.
If you don't feel micro-aggressed by it somehow/somewhere/somehoo, you deserve to be thrown out of the reservation.
