Steve Jobs is considered by many to be the mastermind of Apple (AAPL) and its immeasurable impact on the world of technology. According to one former company executive, however, Jobs wouldn’t have gotten as far as he did without some assistance from Tim Cook, who served as executive vice president for worldwide sales and operations and is now CEO of the company. “While I’m in no position to comment on many things about [Jobs], the journey of [Jony] Ive and Tim Cook and others, the… Source link

A potential railroad strike in the U.S. shouldn’t be viewed as a black swan event, according to Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius, but it could still have an impact on the economy. “I don’t think it’s a black swan,” Hatzius told Yahoo Finance Live at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference on Monday (video above). “I think it’s an indication, along with other indications of more labor strife and maybe more tensions, that labor still has a very significant amount of… Source link

Seahawks receiver DK Metcalf made one of the plays of the year in the NFL on Sunday when he ran down Cardinals safety Budda Baker and stopped him from scoring on a pick-six. That has led some to discuss how many other NFL receivers are fast enough to make such a play. Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill might be, but he says Patrick Mahomes would never put him in that position. “The DK Metcalf play, that was a real nice play, but unfortunately for me, I would never be able to showcase that because… Source link
