It seems that Tim Cook excels at designing immensely complex supply chains and manufacturing processes. It's clear this is his absolute passion.

The only thing is that it's begun to shape Apple. I'm much more excited about his moves to bring manufacturing to America than any product apple has launched under his stewardship.

I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing, but there seems no question that Apple is now a completely different type of company and it's amazing how much a single person can put their stamp on a global and multibillion dollar company.
