- cicloid 14y agoI think you should have said, "Apple is people working hard, iterating and delivering." Many of those hard working folks are still at Apple. If Jobs was Apple, there should still be some skunkworks projects left behind to ship and the numbers are still favorable to Apple.
- danso 14y agoYes, but as the OP describes, the process involved much iteration and constant feedback and energy from Jobs, not just a memo of what he wanted to see on launch day
- Firehed 14y agoI think the point was that Jobs was working with the teams as a contributor more than a dictator. It very specifically pointed out that Jobs' ideas were decoupled from his role as CEO (as were everyone else's) so there were just lots of ideas, and the best ones stayed around while the rest were thrown out. Perhaps Jobs started that process, but I'm sure it still exists with him gone.
- Steko 14y agoMaybe you could mortgage your house and short the stock too? Let us know how that works out for you.
- nikster 14y agoWhen you look at some of the iApps - like iPhoto - i dont think he's irreplaceable. iPhoto sucks and always has. In software design, his influence was definitely hit and miss. Even a genius can err at times ;)
- Evbn 14y agoiPhoto sucks, but what was better?
