Here's What You Need To Know About Tim Cook, Apple's New CEO (AAPL)

In terribly sad news, Apple has announced that Steve Jobs will be resigning as CEO.

Apple's former COO, Tim Cook, who has led the company during Steve's two medical leaves, will take over as CEO.

Earlier this year, Dan Frommer wrote a quick primer on Tim.

Here's what you need to know:

Cook has already kind-of run Apple for a long time. He's not the visionary- that's Steve Jobs. But Cook has overseen day-to-day operations. That's not going to change.

Cook is a "workaholic," according to a 2008 profile by Fortune. He is an intense operator-type. .

Cook knows what "Apple" means better than pretty much anyone but Steve Jobs. He's been around since 1998 and he really understands what the Apple mission is all about. This was most apparent during a long speech on Apple's earnings call 2 years ago this month, right after had Jobs announced his previous medical leave.  Cook said:

"We believe that we're on the face of the earth to make great products and that's not changing. We're constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple, not the complex. ...  We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us." (Read Cook's entire speech here.)

Cook's profile has grown as he has made more public appearances on Apple's behalf. This winter, he represented Apple as Verizon announced the iPhone. He has been making more appearances during Apple product events, including Apple's Mac event last October. And he has long led the company's earnings calls.

Cook is well compensated for his work. Unlike Steve Jobs' symbolic $1 salary, Tim Cook got $59 million in total compensation last year. (Apple pays out equity every other year, so that's why it was especially high.)

Cook is a HUGE Auburn football fan. We got a chance to talk to him last Tuesday at the Verizon event, after Auburn won the national championship the night before. He sounded like it had been one of the best moments of his life. (Now we see, perhaps, why he had to watch it in a New York hotel room and not at the game itself.)

So, Cook will do just fine in this role, at least on the operational side. As to vision, time will tell.

Researchers Find Toddlers Can Understand Complex Grammar


toddlers.jpg

Children are able to comprehend complex grammar at a younger age than previously believed, a new study shows.

When learning a language, young children must understand the meaning of words as well as how to combine them into a sentence to communicate meaning. Many 2-year-olds rarely combine more than two words together, saying "more juice," for instance, but not yet forming full sentences.

However, new research suggests that even before 2-year-olds speak in full sentences, they are able to understand grammatical construction and use it to make sense of what they hear.

"Studies have suggested that children between the ages of 2 and 3 start to build their understanding of grammar gradually from watching and listening to people," study researcher Caroline Rowland of the University of Liverpool's Child Language Study Center said in a statement. "More recent research, however, has suggested that even at 21 months, infants are sensitive to the different meanings produced by particular grammatical construction, even if they can't articulate words properly."

Rowland and her colleagues showed a group of 2-year-olds pictures of a cartoon rabbit and duck and asked each toddler to match the illustrations to sentences containing made-up verbs.

"One picture was the rabbit acting on the duck, lifting the duck's leg, for example, and the other was an image of the animals acting independently, such as swinging a leg," Rowland said. "We then played sentences with made-up verbs — the rabbit is glorping the duck — over a loudspeaker and asked them to point to the correct picture. They picked out the correct image more often than we would expect them to by chance."

The research suggests that a child's language doesn't necessarily reflect their full knowledge of language and grammar.

"The beginnings of grammar acquisition start much earlier than previously thought, but more importantly, it demonstrates that children can use grammar to help them work out the meaning of new words, particularly those that don't correspond to concrete objects such as 'know' and 'love,'" Rowland said. "Children can use the grammar of [a] sentence to narrow down possible meanings, making it much easier for them to learn."

The findings were recently published in the journal Cognitive Science.
