Brian Williams, the go to newsman for any sane American, recently interviewed Tim Cook about Apple and all things going on at Cupertino. It’s the first interview “of its kind” and will be shown next week on Thursday. But that’s not why we care! What’s hilarious is that Brian Williams says no one recognizes the Apple CEO.
It’s not that surprising. It’s kind of hard for any tech exec to get to the iconic level of Steve Jobs or Bill Gates and being CEO of a tech company is not no where the same as like, being George Clooney. Even if it is being CEO of Apple. Just check out the video of him walking through New York’s Grand Central Terminal, without getting a second glance:

Who?
He’s an American news anchor.
And some other dude.
Thought it was Paul o’Grady.
I think most people wouldn’t know who he was if they saw him. I’d personally be thinking I know that face from somewhere. But even if I did place the face I wouldn’t get exited about it and certainly wouldn’t approach him, maybe just to wave my android device at him. But the dude has a long way to go before we give a shit about him. Gates and Jobs got to legend status because they revolutionised the world we live in. Cook is just a chief executive of some corporation – and judging him on current form he is not a very good one.
Bill Gates is pretty famous too, but I doubt that most people will be able to recognise him on the streets.
I reckon most people over the age of 25 would
If you are actively looking out for him perhaps, but if you brush past him in a Starbuck you might not notice.
