Eddy Cue is the senior vice president of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), who heads the entire department that manages the company's online services, and he reached this position thanks to the help provided by Steve Jobs. Cue started his career within Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), as a simple temporary employee, and according to a story told by him himself, chance at helped to be chosen by Steve Jobs to attend an important meeting. During this meeting, Cue expressed his opinion about the discussed subject, Steve Jobs initially rejecting his arguments. Speaking his opinion for the second time, Cue would have been "attacked" by Steve Jobs with a pen that would have hit him directly in the forehead.
Thinking that the third try would be lucky, Eddy Cue he expressed his opinion again and thus would have won over Jobs who would have finally promoted him to the position of administrator of iTunes. The story itself seems rather strange and made up, and Eddy Cue denied its veracity, which seems quite plausible, despite the fact that Steve Jobs was not an ordinary leader. The story is part of the book Haunted Empire: Apple after Steve Jobs, a book that Tim Cook said is full of untruths.
