The guest on this week's nationally syndicated Motley Fool Money radio show is Adam Lashinsky, editor-at-large of Fortune magazine and author of Inside Apple: How America's Most Admired -- and Secretive -- Company Really Works. Companies like Disney struggled in the aftermath of losing its visionary founder. How will Apple fare in the post-Steve Jobs era? In this audio segment, Lashinsky states that on the heels of the greatest 15-year run in the history of public companies, Apple will need to break into a new industry to succeed.

What was it that made Jobs so irate — and why could it make a few in-the-know investors some major profits over the coming months and years?

    Dumb article. No one should be telling AAPL how to make money. I think they know what they are doing , and noone knows what products or ideas AAPL has in research and development . So write an article about something else
