    Facebook integration would be my big wish. If it doesn't come in Mountain Lion, but in the next OSx after Mtn. Lion, I will definitely upgrade. Facebook Integration would help a whole bunch.

    Tim Cook is a great guy. He's real smart.
    I'll always find it quite hard to understand why everyone was so scared of him taking over as CEO. For starters, and not a minor thing, he was picked by Steve himself. I mean... If Steve saw him as the next CEO of Apple, there's obviously something right with him. He knew Tim would be someone that'd carry on the legacy of Apple, both in values and product quality. And Tim's been there since Steve went back to Apple, when Apple turned in to the iconic company it is now. AND, if that's not enough, Tim already had experience as CEO replacing Steve when he was on medical leave.

    So honestly, I'm baffled as to why people were doubtful about him.

    Windows Mobile (what I'm assuming you mean) is not Windows Phone. They're incompatible. Windows Phone came out in 2010.

    Yes, Tim Cook likely meant "Windows Phone" when he said "Windows Mobile."

    For the same reason I've always said. I'm sure Tim is a great guy and very intelligent and knows how to run a business. But he is so much more of an executive than Steve was. Tim admitted himself, he focuses less and is less hands on with design and marketing, because those are not his areas of expertise. Things that Steve excelled at. Tim makes very good and calculated business decisions that have helped grown Apple to the business it is today, but he needs to be surrounded by more creative and innovative people if Apple is to remain a revolutionary company.

    Sorry, but product leaks don't cause rumors and speculation.

    Lack of product information causes rumors and speculation. If Apple is even more secretive there will be more rumors and speculation.

    The fact that he refuses to comment on the apple television set probably means that they are working on one.
    As opposed to the way he just said they arent interested when asked about gaming consoles or buying a carrier.
    He also chose John Sculley.

    No, no, no, NO! Facebook integration would be horrible! Imagine: every picture uploaded to Facebook! Every webpage you go to will be posted on FaceBook! (that would be awkward for... certain sites.)
