Has he ever been caught on film?? Why is there no picture of one of the leader of an organization richer than the U.S. government?? Because he is using his position to control his image? 24.20.129.195 (talk) 04:30, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is NOT CEO as of yet, and thus the article should not state that he is. Whoever keeps reverting the edits, do you have authority issues? Please stop. You're ruining the integrity of this project. -Anon — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.79.230 (talk) 00:11, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is he actually CEO yet, or the named successor to Steve Jobs still? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.221.15.168 (talk) 23:05, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cook has been recommended by Steve jobs as pre, and decessor that is apparently the succession plan. That does not make him CEO. Edited it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.78.143.131 (talk) 23:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Cook is not yet the CEO and not even the source link to sugest that he is CEO says that he is please fix this article, Thanks. -- Spazturtle !DERP/3/PiM Talk 01:57, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For what it's worth, the text of the Reuters article previously linked has changed, the previous version did state that he was clearly. However, that's been changed. Without a source saying right now he's currently CEO, we should definitely exercise caution. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 03:04, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently it has indeed become a done deal. AV3000 (talk) 03:20, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the first sentence seems clear and unequivocal. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 03:31, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sexuality - strong and warm and wild and free

Long live the King. If it is relevant, he was profiled as "The Most Powerful Gay Man in Silicon Valley" here - http://gawker.com/5736917/

I don't think think they mean he is a happy weightlifter.
