Most public companies have rules where senior execs 10b5-1 plans must be approved by the board. So "was entirely Cook's" is likely an incorrect assertion.

I find it incredibly surprising how poorly written and edited this article is. Here are two example sentences that have basic grammatical errors: Crew Dragon designed to be the first crew-carrying SpaceX spacecraft, and is underling a numb

The robotic telescope mount they use (Paramount MX+) is made by a small company in Golden, CO called Software Bisque [1]. These mounts are amazing pieces of engineering. I want one just to fondle the finely machined and anodized aluminum. [
