That was very inspirational. Just when you start to feel the lull of success -- that's when you need to kick it up another notch. It is definitely a buzz kill hearing all of that, but this is exactly how it is. Complacency kills your company.
>The reason you’ll see new iPhone hardware in the fall and yet another iPad come spring is because Steve Jobs knew that he didn’t just need to out-design his competition, he needed to out-execute them.
There was a scene dedicated to the moment Steve Jobs learned this lesson in the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley (my preferred way of remembering Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Steve Ballmer). I don't know if things actually happened that way, but Bill made it pretty clear when Steve said "we're better than you" that "that doesn't matter."
