views innovation lists
From an app point of view, if you looked at innovation on the PC, you'd be hard pressed to find companies innovating. The list is small.
who-i-am apples ceo
I am who I am, and I'm focused on that, and being a great CEO of Apple.
thinking apples pressure
I don't really think anything Microsoft does puts pressure on Apple.
thinking apples
I don't think Apple has to own a content business.
strong thinking views
I think two people with strong points of view can appreciate each other even more.
want pebbles ponds
I want to be the pebble in the pond that creates the ripple for change.
children thinking ipads
That brings us to iPad. We think the iPad is the poster-child of the post-PC world.

We pave the sunlit path toward justice together, brick by brick. This is my brick.
roi bloody
I dont consider the bloody ROI.
company revenue products
Eighty percent of our revenues are from products that didn’t exist 60 days ago. Is there any other company that would do that?
thinking the-end-of-the-day toasters
I think anything can be forced to converge. The problem is that products are about tradeoffs, and you begin to make tradeoffs to the point where what you have left at the end of the day doesn't please anyone. You can converge a toaster and a refrigerator, but those things are probably not going to be pleasing to the user.
beautiful apples people
It’s the privilege of a lifetime for me to work with the most innovative people on Earth. Only Apple can deliver this kind of innovation in such a beautiful, integrated, and easy to use way. It’s what we love to do, it’s what we stand for.
player games apples
Gaming has kind of evolved a bit. More people play on portable devices. Where we might go in the future, we'll see. Customers love games. I'm not interested in being in the console business in what is thought of as traditional gaming. But Apple is a big player today and things in the future will only make that bigger.
confused competition trying
Our competition is different: They're confused. They chased after netbooks. Now they're trying to make PCs into tablets and tablets into PCs. Who knows what they'll do next? I can't answer that question, but I can tell you that we're focused.
