I used to like watching the keynotes. Mr. Jobs is gone. Without, his salesmanship, the keynotes are not as interesting. That might not be the right word. I actually can not put my finger on it.

Jobs had an infectious, natural enthusiasm for his products.

Tim Cook just sounds like he's giving a rehearsed performance, no real emotion. It's fairly dull to watch.

For the first 12 minutes, Tim Cook sounds like he's trying really hard to mimic Jobs's style, albeit unsuccessfully.

I came here to post exactly that and was wondering if anyone else felt that. I wish Tim Cook would speak in his natural style, whatever that is. On the flip side, other companies' announcements are similarly boring, so that's not saying much.

yeah, its too bad. Cook is a genius in his own right, but maybe there's a better person to give keynotes

> I actually can not put my finger on it.

I think it's exactly that reason that made him such an interesting person
