I think in many cases large organizations fail do to their own success. They get to that point where they become so large and so monstrous they just can’t create any more. IBM is another example. They are doing interesting things but nothing earth shattering any more and they just aren’t inno

So I’ll ask, anyone answer this one too, what do you expect from Apple in future? What constitutes new and innovative? Maybe it’s something you never even thought of but once hearing it, *need* it. I’m just curious as to what you think should be coming from this company? At what point does

Your points would make more sense if we were 2 or 3 years post Steve Jobs but we’re many years now. My opinion is that Tim Cook may be a very good operations guy but he’s no innovator nor does he inspire innovation. Steve Jobs may have been a not in many regards but whether we like it or not t
