"RANCHO PALOS VERDES, Calif. — It has been a rough year for Apple. The company has battled fierce competitors like Samsung, come under scrutiny for tax avoidance and watched in dismay as its stock price took more dips and turns than a roller coaster.

In a keynote interview on Tuesday evening at D: All Things Digital, a technology conference in Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif., Apple’s chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, paused in thought for a second when asked whether the company was in trouble and had lost its cool.

“Absolutely not,” he said.

He said the company was still capable of — and currently working on — technology and devices that would transform the industry as broadly and meaningfully as previous products like iTunes and the iPhone have.

“We’ve always suited up and fought,” he said."

Just the fact that the question is being asked shows things are Not all Apple Rosy Red in Cupertino!
