Oracle’s Larry Ellison thinks Apple is screwed without Steve Jobs

Anyone who thinks Apple’s been struggling since founder CEO Steve Jobs’ exit and ultimate death is in pretty good company.

In an interview with CBS, the Oracle CEO describes Jobs as “our Edison” and “our Picasso” before suggesting that Apple is set to go downhill rapidly without him.

“We’ve already seen the experiment,” he tells the interviewer. “We saw Apple with Steve Jobs,” he says while pointing up, “we saw Apple without Steve Jobs,” pointing down, “we saw Apple with Steve Jobs,” pointing back up again. “We’re gonna see Apple without Steve Jobs,” he ends, pointing down again.
