Apple was different, and it all stemmed from Jobs. The tech world lost a lot more than just innovative products when he passed. Cook has done an incredible job at getting Apple to where they are as a company, but they've truly lost their way in the meantime.
- wutbrodo 5y agoFunny, I have roughly the exact opposite view of Jobs. To me, he was a groundbreaking figure in creating massive amounts of consumer surplus while having extremely anti-user values.
- oliv__ 5y agoIf he had "extremely anti-user values" don't ya think there might be less..ahem... users of Apple products? Have you considered the possibility that your opinion is that of a minority.
- wutbrodo 5y agoIt's quite an extraordinary market-dogmatist view of the world to claim that putting the user's interests first is the sole and exclusive input to the success of a business. In fact, I'd daresay the opinion you've expressed is "that of a minority". (All of this is leaving aside the fact that you apparently didn't read my very brief comment before responding to it, in which I talk about massive amounts of consumer surplus being created)
