Did Apple's CEO dis Google Glass?

Apple CEO Tim Cook weighs in on Google Glass, the future of wearable tech and his congressional testimony.


苹果公司CEO蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)出席《华尔街日报》主办的D11科技大会,担当首位访谈嘉宾。库克在会上表示,可穿戴设备有望成为一个影响深远的领域,但谷歌眼镜能否普及很难定论,该产品缺乏吸引力;仅耐克的Fuelband腕带做得很不错。


Google's newest product called glass has been steadily getting burst that new wearable technology that takes videos was a simple command.

"OK glass,recording video"

"I think the light that will be hit here has a broad range of appeal.I don't,that's tough to see." Apple CEO Tim Cook making the rare public appearance at the technology conference seems to be given it as a thumbsdown."I wear glasses because i have to. I can't see without it. I don't know a lot of people that wear them that don't have to. But the company that pionners the smart phone may soon branch into the category known as wearables. If we do read the comments like this "I think there will be times of companies playing in us"

Will Apple be one of them?

“I don't wanna answer that one”

Sharing the stage with technology blockers Walter Mossbergand Kara Swisher,Cook waited on the other hot tech topics like why doesn't Apple come out with the biggest screen for the Iphone.

"A large screen today comes a lot of trade-offs"

And why not come out with other versions of phones like its competitors?

"We have been so far that doesn't shut off the future"

Then the subject turns to taxes.

Will Apple has recently been criticised?

" We pay six billion dollars and that is the big highest in the US. We pay more taxes than anybody."

Cook's appearance comes about a week after testifying in Washington.He was questioned by the Senators about the compamy allegedlly keeping money overseas to avoid paying US taxes. Apple has 144 billion in cash but about 100billion of that is capital offshore but is not subect to the US corporate taxes.

"Can you understand there is a perception of unfair vantage share?"

Honestly speaking,I don't see it as being unfair.I'm not an unfair person.And that is not who we are as a company."

But as John Steward noted it wasn't exactly a ruining testimony.

"You've managed to change the word which is a incredible legacy."

“I harassed my husband until it converted to a Macbook.”

“Your product makes great.”

”My granddaughter even knows how to use it."

"I love Apple,I love Apple"

"What the hell is that,what's the opposite of genius bar?"

Did you give the mall free staff for what happened.

" No I didn't feel this a love fancy,I don't know it's a sort of media sitting in the witnessing chair.You don't necessarily have that feeling.
