I think Apple is doped up on huge hardware revenues, and the moves by Google and Amazon will rightfully bring them back to planet earth. Because what really matters in this "post PC" era Apple themselves announced is not hardware.
Hardware without function is called a "brick", a worthless paperweight. Of course thats referring to hardware where the software embedded was lost or corrupted, but its as good as any analogy for the iOS situation: premium integration for the highest bidder (Facebook), functionality determined by politicial fights (Maps).
- wmeredith 14y agoThis make no sense to me. "Hardware without software is a brick." So? Software without hardware is... what? At least you you can use a brick as a crude tool.
- ihuman 14y agoSoftware without hardware is just an idea. Like a brick, it alone is useless as it cannot be applied to anything, or used. Hardware and software need each other in order to function.
