I truly hate this attitude.
If you have a shit ton of money, you focus on what's right, not what makes you more money. There isn't an obvious Next Big Thing in computing, not like an iPhone anyway. The watch shows that. Apple should make the very best computers and wifi routers, and monitors, and NAS's, and cables possible. They should be beautiful, cost a bit more and they should just work. That's what makes apple special.
- scholia 10y agoNow about those Apple routers, monitors and NAS's... ;-)
- h1d 10y agoWithout the vision, all they can look at is the balance sheet. Shame.
- h1d 10y agoIt's a publically traded company, if you just do "what's right" and ends up losing ton, they will be liable for the losses to the stakeholders. Size doesn't matter. But Apple needs a better vision than just trying to keep the company afloat. It can be dead in 20 years.
