Instead, remember Steve Jobs and his boundless enthusiasm and joy\u2014especially \u00a0on stage\u2014for what the products can accomplish and make possible. It\u2019s fine to speculate on sales numbers and stock price. But it\u2019s more pertinent to wonder how FaceTime or other Apple product feature can bring distant people together, to help diverse cultures understand one another to make a better world. I know. I\u2019ve been there, talking to strangers at 1 a.m. in front of a new Apple store about human rights, answering questions from eager Apple enthusiasts about Steve and Tim, sharing my views on how technology might bring improvements to this earth\u2019s vast human community.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I can honestly say that I\u2019ve been a subscriber of this blog since around 2002. Gary doesn\u2019t post regularly but his posts and retail updates were always well written, well researched and factual. I really enjoyed his style and I\u2019m pretty we met at some point.<\/p>\n<p>His contribution to the Apple Community will be missed. No one else covered retail like him. I\u2019ll remain a subscriber of his site for those periodic updates that may come at some point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via IFO Apple Store:\u00a0Gary Allen is stepping down from daily blogging and leaves us with this My final&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-04-08T16:50:20Z","apple_news_api_id":"659b4c11-82a2-4b43-bc6f-4d5afcba4624","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-04-08T16:50:20Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AZZtMEYKiS0O8b01a_LpGJA","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1c3","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":8343,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2020\/09\/14\/linked-apple-leadership-bubblegum-cards\/","url_meta":{"origin":4591,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Apple Leadership Bubblegum Cards&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"September 14, 2020","format":false,"excerpt":"Via Daring Fireball: (a tech & politics blog) My biggest question and deepest concern regarding Apple\u2019s leadership, especially now that Ive is gone and Phil Schiller has moved on to a fellowship with only the App Store and events on his plate,2 is whose taste is driving product development?
