Tim Cook, who was recently acclaimed as an even better leader than the legendary Steve Jobs

I guess any number of Ford executives were "better leaders" than Henry Ford, but Henry Ford was one who made all rest of them possible.

Same thing with Steve Jobs and whoever it is that follows him at Apple. Nobody would have heard of Tim Cook if it weren't for Steve Jobs.

And the irony is that the selfish jerk Jobs actually did change the world. Preacher Tim just adapts to it (or doesn't).

Love the first sentence where they claim that Cook is a much better leader than Jobs ever was!!! Cook has NO IMAGINATION he has taken the company no where Apple has become stale and extremely expensive!!! It is such a shame that Jobs did not follow his medical advice and instead went with holistic healing!! Pancreatic cancer is the worst you can get, but I think he could have extended his life had he followed medical advice!!!

So we buy it expecting NO UPGRADES?

Of course we get upgrades. . . but you implied we don’t, with Apple spending money on donations elsewhere. Not me. We get far more FREE software upgrades for years than users of Android devices do. Your implication that Apple users don’t is just more of your disingenuous lying TRIPE. . . Which you post in every Apple thread.

Apple did not sell out millions of Chinese customers “(sell them out to their communist govt)” because they were REQUIRED to follow the law in China. That is the REALITY in China. . . It was not a CHOICE. Apple had to do it, makers of ANDROID devices had to do it, GOOGLE had to do it to license Android there. To do business in China or ANY country, a business MUST FOLLOW THAT COUNTRY’S LAWS. Are you that much of an idiot to think that Apple can thumb their corporate nose at a nation with impunity???? The government has the GUNS and a will to use them!

What Tim Cook personally does and who he gives to with his money I don’t give a damn. That’s his business. Tell what IS true about Apple but peddle your obvious lying propaganda somewhere else. . .

Climate is always changing. What does that have to do with what computer you buy. Go globally warm yourself.

“Tim Cook is now the spokesman and representative of the Baby Boomers? When did that happen?”

Tim Cook represents the little, ineffective social justice weenies. Other than dunking his head in a vat of wheel bearing grease. I have no idea about how to get his tiny brain going again.

The notion of an entire generation failing the next generation is such pablum...

I get it. He's going the Beto O'Rourke route. I failed, I'm inadequate, I have a lot to atone for, I realize what a failure I am, and want a chance to do better.

Amazing how months ago you were denying Apple sold out their customers in China, now you say they had no choice to make make hundreds of millions because the Chinese would have SHOT TIM COOK?

And enough with the word games over upgrades. You know EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, paying for product and having the company SPONSOR FAGGOTRY AND COMMUNIST SJW BS..

And you don’t care what he does with his money that HE MADE OFF WHAT WE SPEND?

How about if he donates TO NAZIS? would that get you upset?

Stick to tech, and stop defending jackasses like Cook. His stink is contagious.

I am NOT saying that the Chinese would have shot Tim Cook, but that any government rules by threat of violence to it’s citizens who do not comply by their laws. That’s how governments work. Nor am I changing my argument. Apple did not “sell out” their customers in China. The choice is either having customers in China or having NO customers in China because they do not comply with Chinese LAWS. It really is that simple. It’s becoming obvious you are an idiot if you cannot comprehend that very simple concept. As a business, if you don’t comply with a nation’s laws, you are not allowed to do business in that country. Simple. You don’t get it.

THEY ALL HAVE A CHOICE OF DOING BUSINESS IN CHINA.

They MADE THEIR BEDS and they can lie in them.

America, the Chinese and the world would be a better place if Apple and others PULLED OUT OF CHINA and let them collapse.
