Hello! And welcome to our Friday column, Worst of the Week. There’s a lot of nutty stuff that goes on in this industry, so this column is a chance for us at RCRWireless.com to rant and rave about whatever rubs us the wrong way. We hope you enjoy it!
And without further ado:
Despite how it may appear, I do try to avoid bringing Apple into every one of my WOTW columns, though by doing so I make this job harder than it needs to be. I mean the company is such an integral part of the decisions that many in this industry make that to not include them is really a job itself.
Plus, with names like “iPad” it seems Apple products and decisions are ripe for some ribbing.
But, this week my attempts to keep this an Apple-free zone have proven just too difficult, especially for me. You see, I was all set to actually write a column talking about Apple and how all the rumors of an upcoming new device launch – and with who that device may launch – was getting a bit out of control. Then, Mr. Apple himself goes ahead and announces that he is stepping down as CEO of the company, but remaining as chairman.
Thus I am stuck with two Apple topics for one column. I know … poor me.
Now I would suspect when it comes to the Jobs job situation, for the most valuable company in the world one person cannot possibly be irreplaceable. But, at least according to some, with Apple and Jobs that could be the case.
