Lately I've begun to suspect that the tech industry works a lot like politics. The pendulum swings back and forth. Except, instead of Republicans and Democrats you have an array of tech companies that hand off market dominance. What will be interesting to see five years from now if Jobs's departure from the company was the point at which that pendulum starting swinging in a different direction (Microsoft?).
