Considering that was their declared succession plan, it'd be hard for him to miss.

IIRC, Apple never declared a succession plan. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/25/us-apple-vote-idUS...

Everyone already knew it was most likely going to be Tim Cook. He's been pegged the successor for a few years at the very least.

It's not Gruber who predicted this. Every single journalist, analyst, and Apple fan boy predicted the same.

Not every one (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2134181 ). I hope all goes well for Steve.

Interesting (to me, anyway) that the pundit I referred to in the above linked topic (Bob Cringely) still doesn't think Cook is the replacement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2923808

Not me, I was convinced jony I've was the man for the job.

You mean for WSJ.
