Who would have thought Tim Cook's gen couldn't control the weather?

Agree. Steve Jobs famously proclaimed look forward, and not back. His focus was on a point in the future which he wanted to get to. He didn't care about past failures or successes, it was about what could be in the future. Cook is looking back and lost focus on the future.
Corny joke: Why did Jobs wear a turtleneck? Because he hated buttons.
P*A*T*H*E*T*I*C
> “You don’t need to look far to find an example of that failure,” he continued, pointing to an example that no one understands better than those living in the natural disaster-dogged New Orleans: climate change.
Monsieur le Cook, may a thousand cow farts follow you wherever you go!

Thanks conservative98. Apropos of nothing, at the moment, AAPL stock is down $6.66.
Speak for yourself you perv.
The notion of an entire generation failing the next generation is such pablum. I, and most other baby boomers, worked our tails off to build companies delivering superior products and services and creating entirely new business models. The selection of products and services available today at low prices is an order of magnitude higher than it ever was. Society has its problems (crime, out of control ghetto culture, the dumbing down of education, declining church attendance), but every problem was caused by extreme liberal policies.
Cook is spouting pure horseshit.
No, it should read, “My socialist comrades pulled the wool over the eyes of the naive, weed smoking, airhead, lazy, pants pooping, feel good, libtard, want it all now, STD spreading, climate change believer, sexually confused, half brow snowflakes.”
Um, Tim, you need to be concentrating on Apple. Stay in your lane, bud.
OMG,these people just need to STFU.
Wow. Just what graduating students want to hear is some dispiriting commencement speech.
This contrasts sharply with Steve Jobs 2005 commencement speech at Stanford. That speech was uplifting, inspiring, and different (as one would expect from Jobs).

No one uses a princess phone anymore
No one uses their kid as the remote control
Everyone has a TV in their room
Communications has become decentralized and ubiquitous with the adoption of the cell phone
Heck, with that phone you can anyone, antime.
You can video call and conference
You can send emails and text, instantly
There is no longer a need for a steno pool or Secretary to do all the typing
You can download porn anytime
How have things not improved in the 50 years?
There no black and white TV’s being manufactured anymore
CGI is so good these days, it used by everyone from the big names like 20th Century or Paramount to little independent producers of entertainment
Hell, my phone can pretty much tell me “Go to Hell” and not only give me directions on how to get there but, will act as my copilot and tell me what time I will arrive for my eternal roast.
What hasn’t been improved?
Airlines have improved so we can reach any spot on the planet in under a day
What isn’t better?
Who would have thought Tim Cook's gen couldn't control the weather?
“On Saturday, Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was recently acclaimed as an even better leader than the legendary Steve Jobs,”
He defrauded his friends and family more than Steve did?
Apple's last big things were the iPhone and iPad, which Jobs pioneered. Jobs was a minimalist. Cook is a supply chain guy, and also big into gay aesthetics. When Jobs was alive, Apple had the reputation of being the creative person's tool, and even though there were some misfires (the puck mouse and the Apple Cube) the design was always well thought out. Now, Apple is more high tech jewelry, and a lot of the design is awkward.
He’s not the visionary or obsessive Steve Jobs was and it shows in what Apple’s producing.
While I believe he is right about his generation, what he fails to mention is that Mr. Cook is one of the LEADERS of his generation and has a massive role in that failure.
Self absorbed, entitled and never wrong.
I think Cook’s remarks are incoherent.
Then again why would I want a computer company CEO to lecture about life?
Awww the whole fruity bowl of them just plain sux.
Good Lord, who did the editing?
It's won life's lottery . . . coastal communities.
Cook might have a point. Judging from the writing above, I worry about the next generation.
