- mumrah 16y agoI didn't realize Apple had invented magic as well! > [Apple] has recently introduced its magical iPad which is defining the future of mobile media and computing devices. From the press release in TFA
- fjh 16y agoIt doesn't say that apple invented magic. Maybe they just licensed it (from Xerox?)

- martythemaniak 16y agoEverything they do is magical and revolutionary. Until it has problems, then it's ordinary and just like everyone else.
- petercooper 16y agoThey're just leasing it from Disney. Part of the Pixar deal was payment in magic options.
- danudey 16y agoTheir technology is just sufficiently advanced.
- sorbus 16y agoSufficiently polished, anyways. Underlying technologies are getting less important than polish and interfaces, at least to the average user.
- jakarta 16y agoInteresting facts from the press release and call: -Still having issues with meeting the demand for iPad and iPhone 4 -iPhone 4 has lower margins than 3GS -Apple has about $50 per share in cash (20% of current share price) -80% of Fortune 100 are either deploying or piloting the iPhone. 50% doing same with iPad.
- xenophanes 16y ago80% is a typo for 60%, right? It says 60% on tech crunch.
- illumin8 16y agoTechcrunch is wrong. I read the 80% figure transcribed directly at MacWorld as well.
