Excellent article! I believe you are spot-on with this analysis. If Samsung hasn't already made an offer for Blackberry, it should. I know some people believe BBRY is poised for a comeback but I've never found those claims likely. This is the only true out for the beleaguered Blackberry.
Yes Alexis, he wasn't much of a donor personally or professionally and when Apple first brought him back, he ended all of the company's philanthropic activities. His excuse was that the company had to focus on becoming profitable again. But the ban was never lifted even after Apple become one of the most profitable public companies ever.
One of Tim Cook's first acts as CEO was to reinstitute the company's charitable donation matching plan. I'll be attacked for saying this, but in many ways, Cook is a better CEO than Jobs ever was. Jobs was a visionary, but was often blinded by those vision and unwilling to see anything else.
Actually, Apple has broken many of Jobs' rules to much success. He said they couldn't have a tablet smaller than the iPad's 10.1" screen. Yet after he passed, they came out with the iPad Mini which went on to be their best selling tablet. Jobs said not to make a bigger iPhone, yet that did just that. He even said no to philanthropy, but they brought that back too
