How about:

Carly Fiorina
Jane McGonigal (director of games at the institute for the future )
Neri Oxman (Presidential fellow at MIT media labs)
But never ever ever Sarah Palin.

It's a little out the ordinary - but why not Sharon Osbourne? She brings hardline negotiating skills - she's renowned as the hardest manager in the music industry, and she's related to the renowned hardest manager ever - her dad..

Isn't it about time apple just bought Netflix and got Reed Hastings into the picture

Bono - that would just about be the last straw!!!

If Brits can join the board, then why not James Dyson? He's inventive, a good businessman with good experience on products and innovation..

James Dyson is marketing. None of his products are innovative, and are of bad quality.

My friend owns a vacuum cleaner repair shop. Less that 10 percent sold from his shops are dyson, and over 50 percent that come in for repair are dysons...

His products suck.

HAHAHA it had to be done.

Walt Mossberg?

I must say I was impressed by the demeanour of Pete Frans Pauwels, CTO & TomTom co-founder on stage during the WWDC keynote. He felt 'right' there.

Either Jim Jannard or Ted Schilowitz from RED digital cinema...maybe one of them could get in there and kick some ass and chew some gum until Apple sets it's Pro division back on course.

It's obviously never going to happen, but I'd like to see Zuckerberg, just because I'd like to see what tighter integration between social networks and the OS could mean.

Ryan Thompson (not verified) | August 03, 2009 - 11:37am

I think Leo Laporte would be my first choice. He's the only tech minded gent that I see who I would trust to keep apple honest and maintain integrity. It seems to be losing both of those qualities at an astonishing rate as of late.
(And the poor guy needs a heads up as to Apples release schedule)
