Larry Ellison: We Already Know What Will Happen to Apple Without Steve Jobs

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison said we already know what will happen to Apple without Steve Jobs, with the implication that Apple will crash and burn like it did the last time he left. The outspoken Mr. Ellison made the comments in an interview with Charlie Rose that will be broadcast by CBS Tuesday morning. CBS cleverly released a teaser [via AllThingsD] get folks riled up. In that teaser, Mr. Ellison said, “We already know [what will happen to Apple without Steve]. We conducted the experiment. I mean, it’s been done. We saw Apple with Steve Jobs [raises hand]. We saw Apple without Steve Jobs [lowers hand]. We saw Apple with Steve Jobs [raises hand again]. Now, we’re gonna see Apple without Steve Jobs [lowers hand hand again].” What we don't know is what he said next, and I'm holding my commentary until we can see the full thing (but think: Apple Death Knell #64].
