I Typically don't like to set a preconceived notion with someone if I have never had a personal interaction with them. But something about Eddy Cue is bothersome. I think it's the way he conducts himself onstage and offstage. He just carries a sense of arrogance more than any other Apple executive and he just appears to have an attitude.
I know he has been around with Apple since Jobs era, but I just don't have an appreciation for his candor.
Yep. I'm a shameless Apple fan but something about his attitude rubs me the wrong way. I hate to say it but he has a real slimy, snake-oil salesman way of carrying himself.
It's personally bothersome because I don't like to be judgemental, especially if I don't know the person. However I've seen a lot of pro-Apple fans (yourself included) who have been saying the same thing. So it's a little reassuring that I'm not alone. Maybe there is something off about him.

I want a Craig Federighi charity. He could give me hair styling tips.
I could watch Craig give a keynote all damn day. Definitely has the best personalty(at least, on stage and in interviews) of all of Apple's execs.

Strange world. I'd feel weird about eating with someone that paid more than 50000 dollars to have lunch with me.
