We can expect a Brutus speech from Cook any day now. He will go in length on his Apple website as to why he needed to can Forstall. Cook did it for the sake of the country. I mean for the sake of iSheeps all over the world. Forstall's last words in Cook's office is "Et tu, Cook?".
@Anonymous Coward, Well given how secretive the company operates, we will never know even if they are having fist fights among the top brass. But these kind of changes will slowly create a divide within the company where more heads will start rolling without making the news. When Cook says he is going to keep Forstall as an adviser to him, what does that really mean? Is Cook really going to take advice from Forstall? Its even possible that Cook might have already moved Forstall's office into the broom closet. The next likely announcement from Apple will be that Forstall wanted to spend more time with his family.
Before Steve Jobs passed away he had planned and sketched out the roadmap for Apple products for 4 more years. Jobs even sketched out a Roman Colosseum like building for Apple. Think of the irony here. It is just over a year under Tim Cook and Apple is getting peeled. The core team is fighting and it is starting to look like a Graeco-Roman wrestling. The only thing missing is the Roman Colosseum. I wish they build the colosseum soon in Cupertino so that we can buy season tickets to go and watch the top brass at Apple duke it out in the middle of the colosseum.
