The company must show unity in supporting Cook with the aim of calming investors who fear that the departure of Jobs subtract quality new products and impair their ability to create new technological trends. A stroke of revolution in computing and consumer digital entertainment and thanks to his enormous gifts dialectical, Jobs has managed to prevail over other stars in the firmament of Silicon Valley.
