I love the title, well said, though that’s just a small part of a large, complex picture.
Two highlights:
“Steve Jobs created a loyalty with users that is unparalleled in the consumer technology world. What Tim Cook has done, he’s built a loyalty with shareholders,” Sculley said on “Squawk on the Street.”

Read the article, watch the video.
Scully, still dining out on Apple anecdotes.
Makes me think of this line from The American President:
“People want leadership. And in the absence of genuine leadership, they will listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone.”
Never mind Scully was the man who helped neuter Steve Jobs at Apple, he’s now chosen to be the go-to, shameless, Apple pundit, they bring in to help celebrate Apple’s historic milestone.
Hey, at least he’s concise. Imagine Gil Amelio in his place.
haters gonna hate. sculley sucked
Better idea. Don’t read, don’t watch the video. Worst mistake Job’s ever made was thinking this guy was anything more than a sugar salesman.
