> Apple is becoming (already is?) a services company. And, let’s face it. Apple has never been good at anything involving the internet. I feel like they could have all the money and engineers in the world (which they basically already do) and still never completely get their services right because it’s just not in their DNA. Applications are. Hardware is. But put a network layer in there and they crap themselves. (Ok, not in every case. I’m obviously exaggerating to make a point. But the overall track record is iffy at best.)
For what it's worth, Apple is on a massive hiring spree in the Seattle area, attempting to lure developers and systems engineers from all of the Cloud companies in the area, with the goal of using all their combined experiences to start doing internet services properly. No idea if it'll work. I hear horror stories from my ex-Apple co-workers about the way things used to be.
