Smart analysis. I object to your classification of Twitter, though. I was originally a Twitter skeptic, but the truth is, they've built a central hub where Snoop Dogg, the Pope, POTUS and @pmarca all converse. Very powerful. They need to do more, but they own more than a fad, IMO.
I especially agree on Apple.
What Microsoft has done recently is great. I hated them with the passion of a thousand suns when I was in college, but Satya seems to get it. He knows that if you put out a browser that causes devs around the globe to have to program exceptions because it doesn't behave like the others, they will hate you for it. (Doubly. Once for technical reasons and again for acting like a monopolistic ass.) And what you gained from some niche technical benefit, you've lost 1000x in goodwill and, ultimately, bad PR. I'm actually rooting for them now. It's crazy.
