On December 9, according to foreign media reports, the list of candidates for Time magazine's "Person of the Year 2014" was officially released on Monday. Apple CEO Tim Cook was nominated again due to the crazy hot sales of iPhone 6/6 Plus and his public admission of his "gay identity". In addition, Jack Ma, who led Alibaba to win the title of "the world's largest IPO", is also one of the eight candidates.
The above picture shows the eight candidates announced by Time editor Nancy Gibbs on NBC on Monday. They are: Alibaba co-founder Jack Ma, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ferguson protesters in Missouri, Apple CEO Tim Cook, American pop music queen Taylor Swift, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, Iraqi Kurdistan Region Acting President Masoud Barzani, and Ebola virus protection and medical workers. Cook was once selected as Time's Person of the Year in 2012. There are two main reasons for his re-selection this time: first, the global craze for the new iPhone has made Apple's market value hit a new record; second, Cook recently openly disclosed his homosexuality, becoming the first Fortune 500 CEO to publicly "come out". "Everyone wants to know if Cook can continue Apple's ability to create new categories on a regular basis after Steve Jobs," Gibbs said. "With the upcoming launch of the Apple Watch, we think he has a good chance." The finalists for Time magazine's 2014 Person of the Year will be announced on Wednesday.
