I am not an Apple devotee, but my comment on this would be that really good successful companies have both, brilliant front, market facing folks (Sales, Marketing) and then brilliant behind the scenes folks (the stereotypical, shy not market facing engineers).
I may get heat for saying this but there is a reason why the folks in Sales and Marketing tend to be fairly attractive, outgoing and talkative. If they are brilliant/smart too, well, more power to them. Sorry, but this is the world we live in.

Time to petition for removing his Nobel prize. The arrangement has been setup decades ago and nobody say anything till Apple became successful. Saying the arrangement is a fraud is like saying claiming a tax deduction in my income tax submission is a fraud.
That is a fair statement, since obviously what they are doing is technically not illegal right? But Apple shouldnât be portraying itself as some great company that walks on water and does everything on the straight and narrow then, right? It is just another capitalistic American company, no more, no less (and there is nothing wrong with that). Fair enough?

My point was(check link in quoted text) specific to his making a decision to go with alternative medicines initially for his cancer treatment & that too in the 21st century. That is plain stupid.
So are we (for a night)!!! We attended a Diwali celebration at my sisterâs neighborâs home last night and it was totally fun. The food was amazing!!! Boy, even the older folks were rocking on the dance floor and the music was so loud I was surprised the cops didnât come. Very cool. I need to go buy one of your festive shirts to wear next year to fit the partâŚ
