- elzbardico 6mo agoTo be honest, a lot of industry analysts were skeptical of Jobs' second coming. And when he did a deal with Microsoft, most of them thought they were right in their initial pessimism. Over the time I developed the instinct to not take pundit's opinions too seriously.
- Aachen 6mo agoPundits... or might it just be that people can't predict markets and behavior without large error margins and compounding effects that magnify these errors further over time?
- rhubarbtree 6mo agoGuilty. I predicted they would decline, due to a lack of new products. I guess I was right in a sense, but I didn’t see the potential of optimising what was already there. I also love the Vision Pro, actually, I think it’s brilliant, so that was an exception to the rule too.
