New Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'I'm Thinking Printers'

SAN FRANCISCO—Following the resignation of Apple founder Steve Jobs, incoming CEO Tim Cook called a meeting of shareholders and members of the press Thursday morning to announce that he envisioned printers as the company’s future. “Laser, ink-jet, double-sided, color, black-and-white—the future of technology is in printers. I am absolutely convinced of that,” Cook explained to a packed auditorium as a montage of printers and people using printers played on a screen behind him. “What is the one thing people will always need? It’s obvious: printers. Printers with fax machines attached, printers that collate and staple, perhaps a printer that makes photocopies. Anything’s possible. It’s called innovation.” Cook concluded his remarks by assuring investors the release of upcoming Apple products such as the iPhone 5 would be postponed for at least four years so the company could throw all its time and resources into the creation of high-quality printers for the home and office.

just say no to printers.
i'm currently working in the printer/copier industry. i don't see how apple could start up fresh and compete. they'd need to buy up an existing copier/printer company.

I used to have an Apple dot matrix printer in the late 80s. I'd be on the phone with my friend waiting for something to finish printing and he'd say, "My god, what are you doing? It sounds like you're strangling geese!"

To be fair though, that was pretty much ANY dot matrix.
