- throwanem 10y agoWhen did Clarke and Kubrick work for Microsoft?
- oneeyedpigeon 10y agoThey did, just not in terms of the underlying concept. The sheer size and weight of the iPad was innovative. Doing away with a physical keyboard altogether was innovative. Using a capacitive touchscreen for a far more pleasant user experience was innovative. In short, many small innovations rather than one big one.
