Apple Replacement CEO Phil Shiller gives speach using the phrase 'cybernetic barnacle'

Replacement Apple CEO Phil Shiller gives an extremely awkward speech to a group of Apple employees that left most in attendence questioning his afinity for the barnacle sea creature.  Barnacle counters at the speech stated that over a dozen references to the mollusk were made in his speach about the absence of Jobs.  The peak moment of weirdness came when Phil stated 'All Apple can hope to be is a cybernetic barnacle on the boat of Steve Job's digital vision for the company'

The absence of Steve Jobs at Apple has left many employees clinging to whatever comfort they can  find.  Noel Price, an engineer at apple stated, "Yeah I have been hit hard by Job's abscence.  So I hit the scotch and smell my wifes used nylons more than usual these days."  

None has been apparently been impacted harder than Phil Schiller, Job's temporary replacement as CEO, as he clings to his sea creature friend, the barnacle, for comfort and support.  Schiller has been known to sing the praises of the barnacle and has a stuffed diorama of barnacles in his office.  Few knew, until today, how important the barnacle was to Schillers sense of well being.
