Re/code on TV: Tim Cook Is Gay and Kim Kardashian West Loves BlackBerrys

It was a big week for the tech world. Kim Kardashian West offered to buy BlackBerry, tech stocks rallied, and Tim Cook, the 54-year-old leader of one of the country’s largest and most beloved companies, wrote publicly about being gay. Not only did he acknowledge it openly for the first time — he said it was the greatest gift God had given him.
