Apple is a widget factory run by an expert. When Jobs left the company, it took a nose-dive. He came back and immediately things started improving. The man is a dictator, but he knows his stuff. However, if I were an apple shareholder, I would be very worried about his medical condition. Because when he leaves, apple will dive again.

If he's not stupid he would have prepared for this contingency, and arranged for competent lieutenants who know how to do things "the Jobs way" to take over when he kicks off.

Of course the thing about power-mad dictators is that power-madness interferes with the ability to seriously consider transfers of power.
