Over the years, I believe Mr. Jobs has fostered a very creative and user-centric team that will continue the successes.

One of the big reasons that Apple has done so well since Jobs came back years ago, is that he was one of the founders of Apple, not just a someone on the CEO merry-go-round like Gil Amelio was.

I bought my first Mac in 1995 and at the time thought that I had made a huge mistake because it looked like the company was going under. Their stock was slightly under $14/share at the time. Unfortunately for my pocketbook, the opposite happened and I didn't invest. Their stock has split at least twice since then, which means I would have been a millionaire if I'd invested in '95 instead of being fearful.

IMO, the only way to continue successes in ANY company are to promote from within. Hiring outside, uninvested CEOs is a death nell for companies. Business schools seem to teach the opposite, but they're full of crap. That kind of management just get richer while the employees and customers get screwed.

Apple will be fine as long as they follow the course that they've been on for over a decade.

Tim cook has been running the company for a while. Most of the changes will be from a loss of capital in the public's eye.

They both do it for both reasons. It's a common tactic with huge companies.

You know who held most of the patents on electric vehicles for a long time? Oil companies!

:iagree: nicely put for many saw him as the engine behind most of the innovation (Though it was not as pointed out by theDreamer).

Correctemundo senior Al. As far I'm concerned MS is trying to cling to market shares that are simply left because of business familiarity with their inferior solutions... Tuned for iCloud ;)

I would say we are both right, Ive's has been bringing the new products to life and Cook has been getting them market and running the company.
Apple has built the team it needs to survive.

I hope that Mr. Jobs is healthy enough to enjoy the rest of his life. Pancreatic cancer is bad sh*t.
