True.
- knappster 15y agoI agree, best line of the post.
- kristofferR 15y agoI completely agree. I will gladly bet $100 on that Apple, without Steve Jobs' help, will create a new product in the coming decade that'll revolutionize (or even create) a market completely like they've done with the iPod, iPhone, iPad and many other products. Steve Jobs may not be the CEO anymore, but his spirit and philosophy will be alive and well in Apple for a long time to come, no matter what happens with him personally.

Many had similar hopes as yours when Steve was fired from Apple in the '80s. The company ambled along for a few years, then started its famous nosedive. Expect the same this time.
- kenjackson 15y agoExcept in the 80s Jobs didn't hand pick his successor (at the time of his succession).
- pooriaazimi 15y agoThis, and the fact that the man himself is still on the board of directors (at least for a few years). Also, don't forget that Apple is stuffed with talented people, like Ive, Forstall and Federighi who won't let apple become another 'me too' company with junky and overpriced products (like the Apple in the late 80's): http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/news/1105/gallery.fortune500_apple_executives.fortune/index.html http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2011/news/1105/gallery.fortun...

- sabat 15y agoActually he did hand-pick John Sculley. And Sculley failed spectacularly.
