Hello? Earth speaking to whoever is out there.
I realize information takes time to reach the end of our solar system and beyond, but Steve Jobs died long ago. He also ceded control to Tim Cook months before doing so.
- EGreg 13y agoOK I omitted a word assuming most people would know what I meant. Steve Jobs HAS run Apple like a cult of personality. Steve Jobs appointed Ive head of everything hardware-design-related and made him untouchable on purpose. He groomed him to lead design at Apple, which is the major department. Steve Jobs would have vehemently disagreed with Ive about skeumorphism and probably wouldn't let him create iOS 7 this way, or if it happened, would chew him out the way he did Forstall, even though he liked him. That said, the reason Ive is now telling everyone it's his way or the highway is a direct extension of how Steve Jobs ran the company. Get it?
- fredgrott 13y agoBut that was not Steve Jobs..your over-simplifying things as there were times where standing up to Steve was not only encouraged but respected
- EGreg 13y agoAlthough I don't think that your point disproves mine, I'd love to learn about the times that standing up to Jobs was respected and rewarded. Genuinely want to have more examples of this.
