Diana Walker’s book, The Bigger Picture, gives you a glimpse into the lives of some of the most famous people in the world. Featured in her book among others are President Reagan, John Travolta, Mikhail Gorbachev, Princess Diana, and our favorite CEO, Steve Jobs.
You can get a glimpse of Steve’s life back in 1982 with this picture. The Bigger Picture is available for $40 and features 200 color and black & white photos.
As much as we Apple fans hate to admit it, at some point Steve Jobs will step down as the CEO. Analysts, bloggers, and technology writers sometimes like to ponder exactly who would take over as CEO if Jobs were to leave Apple. The pondering hit a high following the WWDC Keynote when anumberofpublicationsposted on the frail look of Steve while he was on stage during the Keynote. Coming today, Fortune looks to answer those questions about Steve’s successor.
Fortune has posted 11 potential successors for the post Jobs era at Apple. Among the potential Apple executives up for the task according to Fortune:
Tim Cook - COO
Phil Schiller - SVP, Worldwide Product Marketing
Scott Forstall - SVP, iPhone Software
Jonathan Ive - SVP, Industrial Design
Peter Oppenheimer - CFO
My money is on Tim Cook. He’s as involved with the day to day running of Apple as anyone in the company. Tim was also the interim CEO when Steve Jobs had his pancreatic cancer surgery in 2004. Tim’s also has a passion for cycling, which helps him in my book! Who do you think is the next CEO of Apple?
Since Macworld is next week, I thought it would be a good time to share this blooper reel of keynote speeches gone wrong. Watch the nearly five minute long video featuring Steve Jobs, Phil Schiller, and others as hilarity ensues when they run into problems with their speech or technical demonstration. This video is the perfect tune-up for Macworld next week. Enjoy!
Update: I seem to always have problems embedding Youtube videos here. I’m really hoping this last edit will fix the layout.
