Happy National Tim Cook Coming Out Day! How have you been celebrating? I have been reading the angry responses from homophobic assholes, like this prick and this one. In times like these, it feels prudent to note that if you are a man who has not sucked dick, you are no authority on what it feels like to have a…
Once again, Apple's Tim Cook has topped Out's annual Power List. Frank Ocean is No. 10; Nick Denton is No. 39.
Steve Jobs would likely approve of successor Tim Cook's ascetic condominium, designated "unit A" on a shared Palo Alto single-family home lot. He would be far less happy with the high-ranking Google executive in the "unit B" in-law dwelling right behind it.
There is pain and turmoil in Steve Jobs's death, but for the departed tech executive's company Apple, real opportunity, too. That's why, near the height of the holiday shopping season, Apple is giving precious space on its homepage and in its stores to a charity promotion. It's the sort of philanthropic gesture Jobs…
A video of the star-studded tribute to Steve Jobs held October 19th on Apple's Cupertino, Ca., campus has been posted to the Apple website. (It plays smoothly on Safari, while other browsers give you an "Available soon. Please check back later" message.) Running 81 minutes, the video begins with an address from CEO…
In a tragic moment for Steve Jobs, there is a bright spot: Tim Cook, who will succeed Jobs as Apple's CEO, is an incredibly thorough and detail oriented boss who has revolutionized the way computers are assembled and steadily held the confidence of Apple's employees and partners. He is also, as we reported in January,…
It looks increasingly like Steve Jobs' reign at Apple is over. If the CEO doesn't return from his third, indefinite medical leave, COO Tim Cook will succeed him, marking a new era not only for Apple but for gay progress.
Steve Wozniak told a Wall Street Journal reporter his Apple co-founder Steve Jobs sounds "healthy, energetic," signaling the CEO will return from medical leave at the end of June as planned. The market wasn't particularly interested.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs is the ultimate telecommuter, working from home on a new, lightweight "netbook" while he's ostensibly on medical leave from Apple. Investors are calming down. So what are employees worried about?
Tim Cook, Steve Jobs's second-in-command, may be up for the top job at Apple should anything happen to the company's iconic founder. Indeed, he's already subbed in once when Jobs was recuperating from surgery to treat pancreatic cancer. But who is this guy? Even Fortune's in-depth profile gives few clues: Cook, 48, is…
Some days it seems like Steve Jobs will be CEO of Apple until he dies. But after a bout with pancreatic cancer and a health scare earlier this year, peope are starting the grieving process earlier. Part of that involves playing a guessing game about who will take his place. Fortune convincingly argues that Apple COO…
At Apple's shareholder meeting today, Steve Jobs said the Apple board has many potential successors to choose from should something happen to him. "We've got great talent ... we talk about it a lot." Candidates include COO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer. Have you ever seen either of those guys talk? Jobs is said…
Apple COO Tim Cook revealed an iPod-sales statistic at Wednesday's Goldman Sachs Tech conference: "For last quarter in the U.S., 40 percent of iPods sold were sold to people who did not own an iPod. In thinking about this number, this doesn't feel like a saturated market to us." The vast majority of my (admittedly…
Apple COO Tim Cook explained Apple's iPod strategy at a Goldman Sachs conference yesterday: Sell less, make more. Worldwide iPod unit shipments were up 5 percent December-to-December — relatively low growth, thanks to slumping sales of Apple's cheap Shuffle. But iPod revenue still grew 17 percent. "Shuffle pulled…
AT&T is Apple's exclusive U.S. carrier for the iPhone because AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson let Steve Jobs have his way on pricing plans when other carriers would not. AT&T also pays Apple $18 a month per iPhone. So what has all that flexibility bought? An exclusive deal through 2012. But after that, no promises.…
