Apple COO Tim Cook could be in line to replace Steve Jobs
- jgrahamc 18y agoI am so sick of these stories that allude to Jobs' health all the time. Sorry for the shouting but Shut Up About It! We don't know the status, Jobs denies being ill, medical evidence says that survivors of the surgery Jobs have tend to look unwell/be very thin/have difficulty metabolizing food. So all likelihood is that Jobs isn't going to drop dead on us suddenly. Hell, if anyone looks like they are heading for a sudden death it's Steve Ballmer whose BMI must put him in a serious danger zone.

- bprater 18y agoIt would be silly to replace Jobs for anything less than him going into a coma. Apple's stock would plummet and investors would be pissed. That's the downside to having such a strong, visible leader at the helm.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. Furthermore, as an article here said a while ago, Jobs doesn't want to retire. He loves being the head of Apple. Once he's forced to retire, I'd think Cook would make a good replacement. Apple's got a ton of brilliant people with the exact same vision as Jobs. He's built up a really top-notch team.
