"Attempting to analyze Apple through the general mediocrity of the industry they're part of, is just not the way to look at Apple..."   Wednesday, March 28, 2012 This is how it's done. China is Apple's second market and millions of iPhones, iPads and Macs are produced there. Forget about that Proview issue. This is about much more. Tim Cook is taking care of business. Apple is in good hands... Apple CEO Meets Vice Premier Who May Be Next China Leader Apple Inc. (AAPL) (AAPL) Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook met Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang, who may lead the nation's government next year, in a second day of talks with officials in the company's largest market outside the U.S. Cook and Li had a "great meeting," Carolyn Wu, a Beijing- based Apple spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview today. She declined to provide details of Cook's talks yesterday or those with Beijing Mayor Guo Jinlong a day earlier. The meeting with Li gives Cook a chance to build a personal connection with a leading candidate to replace Wen Jiabao as China's premier next March, based on an assessment by Li Cheng, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. Apple's contact with Chinese officials also prompted criticism from creditors of the company Apple is battling for rights to the iPad trademark in China. Cook is on a "political public relations campaign" for its legal battle over the trademark, Li Su, president of Hejun Vanguard Group, which represents creditors of the Shenzhen-based unit of Proview International Holdings Ltd. (334), which claims to own the iPad trademark in China. The posts were confirmed in an e- mail by Huang Yiding, vice president at Hejun Vanguard. Apple says it bought the rights to the trademark in China from Proview in 2009. A Shenzhen court last November ruled that Apple's contract for the mark with a Taiwan sister company was invalid because the unit that owned the rights wasn't included. Apple appealed that decision on Feb. 29 and a decision is due within three months. "Proview is misleading Chinese courts and customers," Wu said today when asked for comment on the remarks by Hejun Vanguard's Li on Cook's visit. 11:18:02 AM     © Copyright 2012 Lion's AppleWatch

Here's to the crazy ones. (video) The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, We see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple
