According to a report over at Reuters, Apple's head honcho Tim Cook and Google CEO Larry Page have been discussing possible ways to resolve patent issues between their two respective companies. The pair (Apple and Google, that is), make up the majority of the mobile OS market, and in light of the recent ruling in favor of Apple over Samsung, the Cupertino outfit and the Android maker are said to be "keeping the lines of communication open."
The next phase of the continual trials between Samsung and Apple are expected to kick off in the US on July 30th, but as has been the case previously, no-nonsense Judge Lucy Koh ordered both parties to try and resolve their differences by means of a mediation meeting. According to an article previously accessible over at The Korea Times, Apple head honcho Tim Cook met with Samsung execs Choi Gee-sung and Shin Jong-Kyun on July 16th, but no agreement could be reached.
I would imagine that being the CEO of Apple would be one of the most challenging but also most rewarding job in the technology industry at the moment. The company is enjoying such a tremendous run of success with their mobile and Mac products and have seen their stock price soar in recent weeks, but that doesn't mean that the position of CEO doesn't come with its fair share of stress. After being in the position full-time for the last seven months, it seems that Tim Cook is settling in rather nicely if the latest employee opinion polls are anything to go by.
Apple's new CEO Tim Cook held his first shareholder meeting yesterday, and it seems the guy is pretty bullish on what his company is going to offer to us gadget junkies over the coming months.
Despite explicitly stating, “I want you to be confident that Apple is not going to change” in his first company-wide email to Apple employees after officially assuming the role of CEO at Apple, Tim Cook appears to be making plenty of changes to the company, albeit small ones if you really look at them, according to a report published earlier today.
Yesterday, both investors and the Apple community was taken by shock when Steve Jobs unexpectedly announced that he would be stepping down from Apple after 14 straight years as CEO. Tim Cook, who was previously the company's Chief Operating Officer, took his place. His first order of business? Send all Apple employees an email promising not to change Apple's current philosophy.
During an interview with Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi, Apple's Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook hinted at a new, cheaper iPhone on the horizon, writes Business Insider.
