The Information published some information about what Scott Forstall has been up to—Business Insider relayed some of the news:
Amir Efrati at new technology site The Information is reporting that Forstall spent the year traveling to Italy and South Africa. He also advised a few startups, and became more philanthropically involved, focusing on education, poverty, and human rights.
A great way to spend some “wilderness years.”
I think it’ll be good to have Scott get out and see the world a bit. I look forward to see whatever he comes back and does. I think it’s probably one of the most brilliant people Apple’s ever let go.
Good for him.
I think it’s time he gets back into the tech scene. I’d like to see want an untrammelled Scott Forstall could produce on his own, skeuomorphic or otherwise.
He should throw his hat in to be the next CEO of Microsoft.
