Fire Tim Cook
Clearly, Apple’s new CEO needs to get the boot.
Just look at these charts! iPhone sales down with rumors of a new model coming out? TERRIBLE! iPod sales continuing to decline show that AAPL is has-been. The iPad didn’t grow 650% over last quarter?

Sorta Open vs. Sorta Closed
I think that mobile devices offer such a personal form of computing that experience is of the utmost importance. The only way to truly emphasize experience is to be in command of both the hardware and software. They absolutely must be symbiotic in order to create the best device possible.
Further, while “control” often has a negative connotation, it’s important for quality. When you “open” your device and/or software, shit always finds a way in.
