Everything is just a product over a long enough time scale
- unfunco 7y agoI don't think that's the gist of what was being said, and I don't think I've ever seen anyone quote themselves so tawdrily before today.
- wtvanhest 7y agoUpdated, but seriously, the Steve Jobs quote is tired. Dropbox is a legit company with a good product. They are as much of a company as Apple was with just a niche computer product. Steve Jobs made the comment because he probably realized that storage was a big business and he also realized that Dropbox is a direct competitor with iCloud. Apple out performed Dropbox, but Dropbox is certainly a real company.
- scarface74 7y agoThey aren’t profitable and don’t have a clear road to profitability. They may have a “good product” but if they can’t make a profit, by definition, they aren’t a good company.
- scarface74 7y agoThe quote is they are not a product they are a feature. File syncing and storage is just a feature that Microsoft and Google give away as part of their other offerings.
