So much for the speculation of him still being actively involved in Apple. He looks like he doesn't have much time left. Very sad.
This is in such poor taste. Give this great man some dignity. You wonder why he is so private its because of s@@ts like you and TMZ. Gods speed Steve, we love you and all you have done.
Hint from Mod - if you think the image is in bad taste - don't post it again by quoting it

You need to ban AppleLover2. this guy's a dick for posting that photo.
Please don't discuss in threads such as these whether you think other posters should be banned or not; it is off-topic. Either start a thread in the feedback forum or send a PM. On this particular occasion please don't send a PM to me because I have no intention of banning him (over this) and you won't change my mind. However, I'm not the only mod on AI...
Apple's new chief executive has been awarded a million restricted shares of Apple that vest over the next decade, ensuring his continued employment through 2021.
Nothing like buying a little stability after the departure of Steve Jobs...
Here's another typo. He fixed the one already pointed out above, but missed this one. Even his short posts have multiple typos. Seriously, do these writers just post whatever they want with no supervision?

They are probably using an iPad or Lion/Safari with autoIncorrect turned on!
Didn't Amelio also get a huge golden parachute when he left Apple? Does Cook have a similar arrangement?
I would suspect not... Amelio was recruited/induced to take over a struggling company... a golden parachute, then, was based on risk/reward.
Cook is being promoted to run a company at the top if its game (much of which is due to his contributions). Today's award is an initial inducement/vote of confidence. There is absolutely no reason that the board could not offer additional rewards/inducements as warranted,
In the early days of Apple, Jobs was known for handing grey envelopes (containing stock options) to key employees,

Wed Aug 24, 2011 Apple announces Jobs - Cook transition
Fri, Aug 26, 2011 close of market:
AAPL Market Value of Listed Security
XOM Market Value of Listed Security
I would call that a pretty well executed transition!
Well done Apple -- things like this don't just happen!
Locking the CEO like that seems a good idea. Is Tim Cook's salary also going to be $1?
Could an admin please remove the images from this thread? What is this, 4chan?

I expect Tim will need some "walking around" money -- he isn't independently wealthy.
...assuming it's real...
I would like to beat the F&!K out of the person who took that photo...
...assuming it's real...
And especially if it isn't, considering how much of a lowlife the person would have to be to fake something like that.

Not sure if the photo was real or not, but in any case it's now gone.
Yes! Thanks, mods, for taking it down.

Apple's board voted to awarded Cook

Anyway... back to Tim's stock bonus... oddly enough, Amelio was given 1 million shares to head Apple. In that case Tim should have received even more.

True... the $80 million or so in stock he's already cashed in just doesn't buy what it used to.
