Steve Jobs famously said, "It's better to be a pirate than to join the Navy". But as his first chosen successor moves away from the top job at Apple, 15 years after Jobs' death, the company he founded is as far as possible from a bootleg vessel as can be. Jobs was a genius, a visionary in design, product and marketing. Is Tim Cook close to any of these? Heck, no! Apple events don't unleash epochal products anymore.
