Kawaii, I'm not too sure by your comment regarding the article. Gil tried a lot of things while he was at Apple.

I know Gil well. Have for 25 years. Gil did a terrific job at Rockwell and National Semi. He was convinced to move to Apple to clean up the mess.

Gil had a falling out with the press when he snubbed Clinton during the first campaign. Ellison requested Gil attend a "event" to be presented with a recognition award. Gil had his admin check into the event and found out it was an endorsement for Bill Clinton. Gil canceled. The press took this (rightly so...) as a snub to Clinton and the trashing began.

When Gil brought Jobs back into the fold at Apple, he made a big mistake. This mistake came back at him when Jobs' stabbed Gil in the back and forced Gil out of Apple. The MSM press grabbed this as another opportunity to trash Gil's reputation again. Reality is that Gil got the financial mess at Apple under control, was working on the product strategy and failed to clean up the culture at Apple.
