Nah, that is just Jobs being Jobs. Trying to market himself as a design guy when in reality he is all marketing.
Its more interesting how he kept notes in his palm (nice way to have them without appearing to have them) and that he made the rest sit up when talking about staged roll-outs of models to maximize revenue.
Bezos on the other hand hit at the heart of the matter, that the thing didn't fit neatly inside any existing regulations.

- narrowrail 10y agoI'm curious: When we talk about product-market fit, do you classify that as marketing?
- coldtea 10y agoIf you mean recognizing if a product will be good for a particular market, then obviously not.
- narrowrail 10y agoWell, you would be wrong. I don't know how to make this clear to people without knowledge of how things were defined in the business world before the prevalence of the web, but you seem to be part of the crowd I've decided to correct on HN. It's not that I'm against the language evolving, but one should know where these terms came from. Please note the use of the word "market," as that should be indicative.
