Apple CEO Tim Cook appears at Sun Valley media event
Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted on Wednesday at an annual retreat intended to bring together technology industry leaders and marks the first time the low-profile executive has attended the event.According to a report from the New York Post, Cook surprised attendees of Allen & Co.'s annual retreat in Sun Valley, Idaho to sit in on a session titled "Iran vs. Israel." While Cook's name was on the list it was unknown if the Apple chief would make an appearance as he has never made an appearance in the past.
There has been speculation as to why Cook decided to attend this year's event and when the Post asked if he intended to strike possible entertainment deals the executive replied, "we are talking to a lot of people here.”
Late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had attended the retreat in the past but hadn't done so in a number of years.
When Cook was pressed for more targeted as to whether his presence was somehow associated with an as yet unannounced Apple HDTV he said, "I can’t tell you that.”
Also attending this year's retreat are industry heavyweights such as News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch, Disney CEO Bob Eiger and investing mogul Warren Buffett. Cook is scheduled to meet with some of the high-powered entertainment executives though the purpose of the meetings have not been made public.

Is it just me or do some characters wrongly show up as "?" question marks in the quoted post? I've noticed that a few times lately in different threads.
Is the OP typing on a windows machine or something? That would be blasphemy.
I wish there was a video of this event. I would like to hear what Tim Cook has to say about Iran VS Israel.

Maybe you'd have more luck with a punch card.

Pressed for more targeted as? AI, we got some serious grammatical issues here. Also, why would Cook sitting in some session about Israel vs Iran indicate that an HDTV is in the works?

Isn't it obvious? Because EVERYTHING on the planet is evidence that there's an HDTV in the works. It's like reading tea leaves. You can make them say whatever you want them to say.
I can't picture Steve Jobs at that event, wearing a hideously oversized name tag that reads "Steve Jobs." Really. Steve is Steve. He doesn't need a name tag, any more than he needs a license tag on his AMG.
The grammar and awkward writing by the people who write these articles is horrendous. Been this way for years. I don't post much but boy, what a gibberish mess this article is. Does anyone proof-read this stuff. I'm a writer and trust me -- less is more. Or even correct grammar would be appreciated if you wanna fluff the piece.

I agree that it's embarrassing and awkward, really. Some of us gave up a long while ago, on the issue of AI getting its grammar, punctuation, and spelling right. You'd think that, by now, they might have hired a halfway decent copy editor or something.....
