"King" hadn't occurred to me. Bureaucrat, definitely. Zero imagination, creativity. Plodder.

Do you think that he acts like a king? I suspect you may have a misunderstanding how a publicly owned company works.

This isn't the first time Apple has struggled with its music business. In 2010, Steve Jobs announced Ping as a "social network for music," like "Facebook and Twitter meets iTunes."

Apple, like most companies, updated its technology without updating its thinking. These days, if you want to shift your market, you first have to shift your mindset.
