[1] Valleywag, quoted by Daniel Eran Dilger, "Apple's Tim Cook Profiled as Most Powerful Gay Man in Silicon Valley", Apple Insider, 20 January 2011: "Cook's rise to his position -- he is one of the most powerful corporate executives in the world, to say nothing of being the most powerful gay person in tech by a mile -- is also a tribute to his skill and work ethic on the one hand, and to the utterly unconventional and unconventionally empowering people skills of Jobs on the other."
