So his nibs is done day-to-day at AAPL; even if I knew anything, I wouldn’t share it here. But I can say that in my experience with the man, it would take a pack of rabid wolverine to drag him away from his work, if he felt capable of doing it.

I have no doubt that Tim Cook will make an excellent CEO; whenever I talk to people at AAPL about the culture and focus, Jobsy’s name isn’t even mentioned. I think he’s managed to rebuild the organization in such a manner as will survive his tenure. The future is impossible to predict (sorry, Asimov), so who knows where they’ll be in 2015; but if a company has ever been better positioned to survive and envelop disruptive innovation, I would be hard pressed to pick someplace other than today’s AAPL.

Good luck to the employees; although, the selection process almost guarantees that the employees that are there are perfectly suited to the new Apple.
