One tech executive who has spoken to multiple Apple management veterans about Cook was told executives there would support Cook if he publicly acknowledged his orientation, and even would encourage him to do so as he steps up his leadership role, but that they also had concerns about whether his coming out would impact the perception of the Apple brand.
Okay. I don't care who you are. That's funny right there.

Our ‘conservative’ Apple ping list FReepers will LOVE this dude.
He's ‘APPLE.’

Aren’t all uber-geeks basically gay anyway? Or at least asexual.

I could care less what his orientation is/was. Can he run the company? Can he lead the development of new products? Can he manage the finances? If I was a shareholder or employee, that’s all I would be concerned about.

I read the article and it looks like the man hasn’t ever admitted to being gay.

I'm sure this news will devastate Apple iPad, iPod and iPhone sales and every one of the 100 million iPhones that have already been sold will be tossed in the ocean by their angry owners.

This is the first I’ve ever heard about him being gay. In fact, I don’t see him having admitted to being gay, or any evidence for it. Apparently being a bachelor in his 40s and a fitness nut makes him gay. If that’s true, a lot of the guys I know are must be gay and I never knew it.

Has anyone else, other than me, ever wondered what Jobs is really stricken with? Is this guy a close, intimate friend of Jobs’? Just wondering.
Not that any of that matters in the long run. If the guy can run the company successfully then more power to him (so to speak).

“Cook, a famously quiet and collected person, will find his backstory, both personal and professional, the topic of increasing interest and discussion in the tech community.”
His “backstory”?
