His health had to have gotten really bad. As long as he's chairman they'll be alright he IS Apple. They need to make sure they keep Jon Ive on who is the guy who designed the imacs, ipod, iphone and pretty much gave everything the sleek image we associate with apple.

from what I have read he has pancreatic cancer and has had to undergo a liver transplant in the past. My understanding of pancreatic cancer is it is extremely lethal (Gene Upshaw passed very quickly along with Patrick Swayze) but he has appeared to be dealing with this for a few years now which is really towards the upper limits of life expectancy from pancreatic cancer.

I agree with you. Jon Ive has created pretty much everything that consumers visually associate with Apple. Dude is certainly a design genius.

but it's the interfaces that make apple unique. jobs is the company.

While this is certainly true, Apple is image to many people who do not use any interface to anything close to its full potential. All these people you see with iPhones and MacBook Pros walking around want to be seen using Apple products.

What Apple products do is extremely important, but so is what Apple represents to people.

agreed but that's a function of a quality product, people associate them with quality.

you start putting out clunky interfaces and within two generations their market share will collapse given the competition.

No doubt about it. They have to continue innovating and producing quality products.

If you went up to an average Apple user on the street and told them that Steve Jobs resigned they'd have no idea what you were talking about. But you are right, if they start making less innovative products, eventually it will come back to bite them.

quickly. it's happening now with their video editing software. they've screwed the pooch and are going to see a big hit in market share. if it isn't fixed very soon, people will just move on.

      Didn’t watch today but….

      By strato · Posted

      I’ll get killed for this but he always sounded gay to me. Not necessarily not gay, but feminine.  I tried to say it in a more subtle way and still got killed for it last year. fug it I don’t care it’s an honest opinion. I didn’t let that disqualify him and have been very patient and non critical. I just wondered how the big tough guys in the locker room would respond to that.  But whatever, I think he thinks too much from the emotional side. The rah rah positive deal, what must it sound like if he gets mad? Where is the tough hard ass side? The no empathy, get the job done or get gone. I wonder about that. It mean I doubt there is a lot of fear of failure going on.    So anyway to other comments about he sucks and all that, I said I needed a better reason to change my stance on him, which has been give him time. Continuity is super important.  This thing with the running backs is eroding the goodwill.

      Please DM, do not see Dalton failing as BY doing well enough for a big contract

      By Peon Awesome · Posted

      Sure if you just blindly look at stats, you can pinpoint a couple areas that look similar. But come on man that's lazy analysis. Instead of throwing lower percentage throws, Dalton held onto the ball unconscionably long, leading to several of those sacks including that unthinkable one at the end of the first half, inflating his completion percentage. Bryce for all his flaws, does a pretty good job of escaping pressure and scrambling for 5 yards or throwing it away. Dalton's pocket presence was just so incredibly bad today, which led to both of his lost fumbles. If Bryce would just hold onto the ball and get sacked every 3rd play instead of throw it away or try a contested pass, his completion percentage would be 15 points higher than Dalton's today. And Bryce only had more yardage in 3 of 7 games? You mean when we played run heavy schemes in our wins, instead of Dalton being forced to throw all game cause we're getting blown out?  Look anyone is more than justified in arguing Bryce Young doesn't have the tools to lead this team to a super bowl. But he has been head and shoulders better this year than what Dalton showed today. That was just an abysmal perfomance.
