Cook has run Apple before, as stated, and he’ll do just fine in the meantime.

Which should tell us something.
Every other Me To company lays of 10% (roughly). I don’t even look at the numbers anymore, these companies are so pathetic they even copy the lay off numbers.

I would say what ever their queue is, 6-18mth my guess, in new product development. They will be fine. Google’s first link on “apple layoffs” showed a page from 1990, whoohoo. Can somebody please tell Google what context is, oh forgot they have a CFO who is trained in six sigma, and doing layoffs. Anybody wants to bet that these numbers, including contractors, will be around 10%?
