Apple used to be a slave to the gods of productivity. Now it's living its best life using the 4 hour work week strategy!

  Just riffing on that metaphor, which is true in a lot of ways, Apple could really, _really_ benefit the world by publishing "Apple standards for business" or something similar, a reference point for other corporations who will frankly never be Apple, but could at least kick things up a notch in terms of overall professionalism and impact. A few very successful corporations have come to the point where they are practically worshiped and almost universally admired, but we are not getting all the cultural benefit from them that we can. That needs to be part of the deal--we give you our markets and cultural attention, you return to us your cultural technology in a more concrete form, at the very least by publishing standards that can be applied to other human organizations. This will help us accelerate human cultural evolution and we'll all benefit.
