Former Apple engineer Bob Burrough has been arguing that CEO Tim Cook has made Apple boring. In a combination of tweet storm and an interview with CNBC<\/a> stemming from said tweetstorm,\u00a0the engineer said Mr. Cook has eliminated conflict within Apple, sapping its vitality in the process. Mr. Burrough argued\u00a0that Steve Jobs ruled with ever-shifting chaos, where product triumphed over hierarchy. Under Tim Cook, he said, Apple is siloed, smooth, and essentially complacent. Former Apple wunderkind<\/em> Tony Fadell coincidentally tweeted\u00a0just last week<\/a> that Steve Jobs did not manage through conflict, and others have taken issue with Mr. Burrough, too. The reality is that any one person’s perspective never tells\u00a0the whole tale, but his opinions make for an interesting read. You can see the whole tweetstorm in\u00a0this tweet and in the CNBC story.<\/p>\n

@JohnKirk<\/a> @asymco<\/a> The very first thing Tim did as CEO was convert Apple from a dynamic change-maker into a boring operations company.<\/p>\n
