After the second segment of a two-part Charlie Rose interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook aired on Monday, full versions of both are now available for streaming online.
The two-part broadcast, filmed last week after Apple's iPhone 6 lineup reveal, is now up on the official Charlie Rose website, as well as the PBS host's Hulu channel. Both segments are free to stream.
Over the course of nearly two hours, Cook discusses new products like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple's business model as compared to competitors like Google and workplace diversity, among many other topics.
In the first session, posted last Friday, Cook reveals that Apple is working on products that "haven't been rumored about yet" and fields questions regarding the large-screened iPhone 6 lineup. The Apple chief says a larger iPhone could have been made years ago, but the company wanted to make a "better phone in every single way."
Cook reiterates his company's interest in television, saying he would like to see some changes in regard to user experience, changes that foreshadow an Apple TV refresh expected in the coming months. Also mentioned during the first segment was company cofounder Steve Jobs and Apple's recent $3 billion acquisition of Beats.
The final part of Cook's interview covers consumer privacy as it applies to Apple's business model. The CEO is quoted as saying, "Our business is not based on having information about you. You're not our product."
Diversity in the workplace is also discussed. Cook says, "That everyone deserves a basic level of human rights, regardless of their color, regardless of their religion, regardless of their sexual orientation, regardless of their gender. That everyone deserves respect. And, you know, I'll fight for it until my toes point out."

"[/quote] It's good to know they may still have some surprises in store even after all the announcements at the last Keynote. I'm sure their competitors are shaking in their boots about what the next nail in their coffin might be.
I didn't think the content would be available on hulu outside of the us, but it is! Great links.
I liked the way Cook laid out the Beats acquisition....aside from his gnawing at the idea that their choice of what song to play for you is so great (give me a break)....everything else was so valid. They have some great music industry minds (Lovine and Dre), a decent music streaming service ( that they can work together on to make better), a fast growing profitable headphone business (that they can likewise work together on to make better)...and within 12 months they'll be making money on the deal.
It doesn't get much better than that in terms of acquisition. I'd love to hear from the usual suspects who saw fit to berate Apple over the rumors of this deal from their amateur armchair stay-at-home blogger know-it-all perspective.

Apple paid for the entire acquisition in 24 hrs of iPhone sales.
Just think about that.
They're already making money on the deal, and now command the bulk of the premium headphone market. Sales of Beats Headphones, Apple Pay, new categories like the Apple Watch, and the insane sales of the iPhone6/6+ (as well as the rest of their highly profitable portfolio) is going to take Apple's revenues to yet another level.
Oh and great segment. Cook may not have the intensity and gravitas that Jobs did in interviews, but I like what he has to say.
So the video doesn't work with the iPad from the Charlie Rose website? Anybody get it to play? No, I do not wish to jump through Hulu's hoops. Edit: Seems Charlie Rose's website is being run by 13-year-olds. IPads not supported. Can anyone provide a direct link to the Hulu video? Thanks.
