    Steve vs. Tim

    Steve was at the Job of providing value to Apple customers. Tim is about Cooking Profit for himself and Apple. Do you Agree ?

    At what would've been Steve Jobs' 69th birthday, a gallery taken at a DC-area Apple Store, following his passing

    With what would've been Steve Jobs' 69th birthday upon us, I share the gallery of photos I took at the closest of my local Apple Stores (Clarendon, VA (DC area)) on "that evening" and days following, back in October 2011. Myriad notes of love and tribute posted by Apple folks...

    The House that Tim Built Documentary.

    What do you think of this? I agree that Tim carried the company to greatness from a financial perspective but he certainly lowered its standards in other areas that Steve succeeded at beautifully.

    The Vision Pro announcement was not like the iPhone Announcement

    If you compare between the Announcement of the iPhone and the Announcement of the Vision Pro. You know the iPhone is still the most important product for Apple.

    What would Apple look like if Steve Jobs was still alive?

    What does everyone think Apple would look like? Personally I think we would have had more aesthetically pleasing and functional products. Vision Pro would never have happened. Jonny Ives would not have left. Or would Steve have be pushed out of the company like in the 80’s? Thoughts?

    Has this or something similar ever happened to Steve Jobs?

    Way back in 1998, This happened to Bill Gates while presenting hot pluggable devices. Was there ever an incident like this that happened to Steve Jobs?! Maybe a kernel panic? (probably not because they occur way less than BSOD)

    Steve Jobs quote worth thinking about...

    Steve said (not sure when, but seems to be a couple of years prior to his passing as he was quite skinny) re the iPad, but I think this is across the board for Apple products due to their more premium pricing. "...that's what a lot of customers pay us to do. We try to make the best...

    Is anyone considering Windows after this lastest MacBook release?

    On a personal note, I feel like Apple has been super greedy and not innovative enough to justify their price hikes. With the recent MacBook Pro Late 2016 release I was gutted with disappointment on this refresh. Stupid and simple things like not being able to plug in your iPhone without an...

    Apple is (well and truly) no longer Steve Job's company. Shame.

    This guy really nails the problem with Apple right on the head. It is a shame that a company that works so hard to cultivate the "Cult of Steve" (Jobs) has strayed soooooo far from his vision. It's all kitch and brand name now. If I had the money and needed a new MacBook Pro, I would be actively...

    Back in 2005 at WWDC, Steve Jobs revealed in dramatic taste, how OS X was developed to be processor agnostic from its inception. Early hints of this can be found in developer previews of OS X, which let developers target either PowerPC or Intel development. Even ancestor of OS X, NextStep and...
