Well now you can, if you're minted that is. In probably the most genius move I've seen in a long time for generating cash for charities, some bright spark has come up the idea of auctioning off coffee time with Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and even Robert DeNiro. The only problem is Cook's already going for over £110,000. Read More >>

Everybody's knows about Steve Job's famous intentions to go thermonuclear on Android if necessary, but it seems that current CEO Tim Cook wasn't necessarily on the same tactical page. According to Reuters, unnamed sources with knowledge of the situation say that Cook was opposed to suing Samsung when the trouble started brewing, because Samsung was such a big parts supplier for Apple.

It's been about a year since Tim Cook took the helm at Apple, and he has apparently decided now is a good time to start talking to people. Brian Williams got first dibs, interviewing Cook earlier tonight on NBC's Rock Center. Read More >>
If you were ever in doubt that Apple had a full-blown smart HDTV in the works, this should put your mind at rest. Tim Cook's just been quoted as saying it is "an area of intense interest". If that doesn't scream "we're trying our hardest to make TV better, but it's just not there yet," I don't know what does. Read More >>

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. Read More >>

According to the WSJ, Scott Forstall was asked to leave Apple after he "refused to sign his name to a letter apologising for shortcomings" in Apple Maps. Forstall had wanted to address the situation of Apple Maps without apologising to the public, like Apple has done in the past. Tim Cook, however, felt an apology was needed and now Forstall is out at Apple. Read More >>

*Not verbatim, but pretty much. During Apple's quarterly earnings call, Cook just dissed Microsoft's new kinda-tablet-kinda-computer thing. "I suppose you could design a car that flies and floats," Mr. Cook quipped. That's sarcasm. Mean, corporate sarcasm! Read More >>

Apple Maps is a mess, to the point that now Apple CEO Tim Cook has now issued a public apology for it. And—in a very un-Apple fashion—has directed iPhone users to alternatives like Bing, Waze, and, well, Google. Read More >>

If you want to re-live the iPhone 5 announcement and/or measure the total seconds Tim Cook took a breath during the keynote, Apple just released the entire iPhone 5 announcement on its website. Watch it here and vote for who dressed best among Cook, Phil, Forstall and crew below. [Apple] Read More >>
The verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung case may mean that over a billion dollars will be headed Apples way out of Samsung's pocket, it was also a moral victory, at least to Tim Cook. Shortly after the verdict—squarely in Apple's favour—was announced, Cook sent out a memo, congratulating those at Apple for their work, and celebrating the company's win. Read More >>
Though the Mac Pro got a half-assed update yesterday that was promptly forgotten today, it's really been on life support for years. But don't worry professional people! Tim Cook has officially said that Apple is "working on something really great" for the Mac Pro and that it'll be coming next year. Read More >>

Last night, at AllThingsD's D10 Conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, California, Tim Cook spoke with Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg, both technology columnists at the Wall Street Journal and co-executive editors at AllThingsD, in what was only the second-ever public interview for Apple's newly appointed CEO.
