Sticking to the topic: Apple is well on its way to becoming the future Sony. Microsoft is throwing money at everything it can (which is a surprisingly effective strategy sometimes), and Google is throwing money and brains at interesting problems.
We live in interesting times indeed.
- riffraff 17y agobut sony has proved that it could go on for almost seventy years even after the death of the founder, while apple had a pretty bad time when the charismatic leader was not there. I am honestly wondering if apple can survive steve.
- ugh 17y agoHad they a bad time? There were lots of rumors about the health of Jobs swirling around, the press was consumed with them – but that’s not the same as having a bad time. I think it’s still a open question as to whether Apple without Jobs can succeed and I would even go so far as to say I’m carefully optimistic.
- riffraff 17y agosorry i did not express myself clearly: I was not talking of the recent health issues, I am thinking of the years in which he was not at apple (eightysomething to '97)
