I’m not here to bitch about this list. I’m here to talk about #DavidBowie’s style for collaboration. He’d bring someone in and let them do their thing. Let them be themselves. No directing. #SteveJobs learned this working with #PaulRand on the logo for NeXT, in that Rand would supply one logo and get paid for it whether it was used or not. Jobs wanted edits but Rand said no and Jobs realized Rand was right. That’s who he hired. #colaboration #art #music

Business Latest | Apple's Next CEO Needs to Launch a Killer AI Product by Steven Levy
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Apple’s incoming CEO, John Ternus, faces his first major test: delivering a breakthrough AI product that will make the technology as seamless and indispensable as Apple’s past innovations such as the Mac, iPhone and AirTag. Tim Cook, who will step down in September, left Apple’s AI efforts unfinished—Apple Intelligence debuted in 2024 to little fanfare—so the new leader must capitalize on the company’s custom silicon expertise, including increasingly powerful neural‑engine chips and a forthcoming partnership with Broadcom, to create a consumer‑friendly AI experience. Ternus, a low‑key yet methodical executive with decades at Apple and a background in hardware engineering, is expected to combine the company’s design ethos with a strategic push against rivals like Nvidia, potentially launching a new device or dramatically enhancing existing ones to embed personal AI agents while preserving privacy. The success of this initiative will determine whether Apple can dominate the AI era as it once did with personal computers, mobile phones, and music distribution.

The Atlantic | It Doesn’t Matter Who Runs Apple by Ian Bogost
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Tim Cook is leaving Apple after 15 years as CEO, a tenure that turned the visionary‑driven firm of Steve Jobs into a massive but increasingly ordinary powerhouse: under Cook Apple’s market value surged to $4 trillion, its revenues quadrupled, and products such as the Apple Watch, AirPods and a suite of services became cultural staples, yet the company’s once‑radical edge dulled, reflected in the underwhelming Vision Pro and a shift toward routine upgrades rather than breakthrough inventions. Cook’s background as an operations executive transformed Apple into an efficient manufacturing giant, but his lack of risk‑taking left the brand feeling “boring” and its public presentations polished yet characterless. With senior hardware engineer John Ternus slated to succeed him, Apple now epitomizes the broader pattern of revolutionary tech firms—Microsoft, Google, Meta—settling into stable, insider‑led leadership as they age, swapping the mythic founder narrative for reliable, if unexciting, corporate continuity.

US Top News and Analysis | Tim Cook is exceptional at this leadership skill. I saw it when I interviewed at Apple 16 years ago—and still think about it today
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Tim Cook, who will step down as Apple’s CEO after fifteen years, is praised not just for his operational brilliance but for being one of the best listeners in corporate leadership. The article explains how Cook’s habit of allowing long silences in meetings encourages employees to speak candidly, while his occasional, low‑volume but crystal‑clear comments carry weight. It contrasts Cook’s “quiet listening” with “loud listening” styles—exemplified by Steve Jobs’s force‑ful challenge of ideas—and shows how each can be effective if leaders adapt to their natural style and create a culture where all voices are heard. The piece advises leaders to balance silence with occasional expression to avoid making staff feel insecure, to foster confidence in speaking up, and to use techniques such as “strong opinions, weakly held” to stimulate better ideas, ultimately emphasizing that effective listening, whether quiet or loud, is key to making better decisions and empowering teams.
