(View all)Was hoping Tim Cook was leaving when I saw the headline
I think that would make front page news ;) one can wish thoughHe's leaving Apple to open room for the new position of VP of Emoji's.
Maybe we'll get lucky and an emoji will replace Tim. Couldn't really mess it up worse. The emoji might actually do a better job.[doublepost=1480738111][/doublepost]

Don't worry. His day is coming. Future headline:"Tim Cook drowned while driving preproduction Apple Car. Navigation unexpectedly launched car into the ocean due to Apple Maps glitch."
