    This is the kind of CRAP that really pisses me off.

    So Tim Cook has the time to fly all the way to Italy to meet with the Pope. How the hell does that help the company or shareholders? He waste his time on this crap.

    Yet Cook has no time to address supply chain rumors that have been festering for almost TWO MONTHS!  Shareholders and employees and retirees have lost over $250 billion in wealth because of these supply chain rumors have been allowed to spread unchecked. Pisses me off.  Mr Cook please spend your time doing what we are paying you $100,000,000 a year for: protect Apple's image and name. Stop allowing the media to drag the company Steve Jobs died for to be pissed on and constantly debased.

    Mr Cook, you have the honor to be the CEO of the most powerful and most important company in the history of man. Yet you allow rumors and lies from the media and your competitors to paint a picture that Apple is on the verge of bankruptcy (companies with a PE of 7 usually have one foot in the grave). You have allowed the media to spread lies that Apple has peaked and will only corrode to an also ran. 
    Hey Dude--

    I wrote here on Tuesday that I found it upsetting our CEO was doing the work of a PTO and pounding nails to create park benches for the underprivileged children of San Jose, CA---all in the name Martin Luther King. At least one fellow poster said the reason he didn't go to an actual underprivileged  school in an African American community is because it would have taken too long to get there.

    I wonder how that poster feels about Tim traveling half way across the globe?

    I wonder how much longer it will take for Appleinsiders to realize that these actions are done for Tim's personal benefit and not the shareholders?

  • Apple shakes up retail workforce with new and renamed job titles, other changes

    Apple - Steve just died again. You've lost your essence, and the momentum is seriously waning now. You cant create excitement without the product innovations and 99 pct of your retail staff is flat and lifeless. Creating a new internal job structure and creedo wont fix it - create an amazing new product and pay your people well enough to make passion for your brand the most important thing they need to be worried about. And while you're at it, you might want to promote individuals based on their talents and capabilities and nothing else. Some of the very best people I've ever worked with left you because your system ignored them. Lose the system and turn back the clocks.
    Spot on post!

    Apple of old used to be about innovation and exceedingly good products. Now that it's Tim and Jony's Apple, we haven't seen nary any innovation from some 115,000 employees in a year and a half. The last innovative product was Apple TV. 

    A regime change is overdue.

  • Apple relaunches online sales of refurbished iPhones [u]

    bobroobobroo
    I think this is just a way to fill in iPhone sales that are sagging and try to keep marketshare. It's not like Apple did not know there was money in the used iPhone market. It's an act of desperation if you ask me.

  • Apple CEO Tim Cook to appear on 'Good Morning America,' says AirPods stay put during exercise

    bobroobobroo
    Why does Tim Cook need to do this interview?  Is there no one else that can speak good things the right way?

    I'm more than fed up with Tim Cook using our shareholder money so that he can rub elbows with celebrities; as he thinks he is a celebrity himself.

    On on top of that I'm quite sure what Michael Strahan calls a workout is quite different than what Silicon Valley executives do at their country clubs Mr Cook.

  • Apple scaling back iPhone 7 production as early demand fades - report

    How is this a surprise?

    Why would people want to buy a phone with a 3 year old design?  I mean seriously. If someone holds their phone for 2 year, this phone will have a 5 year old design at the end of their ownership cycle.

    To release the same phone design THREE YEARS IN A ROW is the height of Apple's arrogance. But that's Tim Cook's Apple for you. The amount of mistakes this idiot CEO has made is ridiculous.

    I hope this iPhone 6SS sells like crap. Hope the stock tanks hard by early 2017. And the board/shareholders wake up and fire Tim Cook. With a competent CEO who actually cares about growing the business and brand (instead of going on some dumb ass social crusade) this stock would be at $200 by now.


    You couldn't be more correct!

    But might I add, it must be difficult to sell an iPhone 7 if about two weeks after you release it Apple begins releasing the manufactured news rumors about the potential iPhone 8. 

  • Uber to begin real-world use of self-driving cars in Pittsburgh this month

    This story is related to Tim and Jony's Apple because they may or may not come up with a related or similar product 5 years or better in the future?


    I know this will offend a lot of folks here but a more relevant story would be the lack of innovation coming out of Cupertino the last year or so and how that reflects on management that has been paid top dollar. The efforts and results of Tim and Jony's 115,000 minions have been absent for far too long and it's upsetting...not just to Wall Street.

    Here is the proof that Tim and Jony's Apple is an elephant that can't dance. 

    And why this sole Samsung related story is being reported on Apple Insider...
