this thread is dedicated to smythe: my official posting buddy

im an apple guy, i like apple things .but i also like apple failures too. jobs was smarter than you but he let a bunch of lovely or too expensive/unsellable products slide through his chute. i find them fascinating in a way.

here are some jobs era failings (the g4 cube was pretty but also a financial failure)

op is cruisin for a bruisin

look, we can jerk each others dicks off about apple all day, but its interesting to see what apple did wrong and how they course corrected afterward.

mobile me (bad) -> icloud (great)
puck mouse/mighty mouse (bad) -> magic mouse (great)


that is something apple is very good at. im just peeking at several pivot points that fascinate me.

according to Adobe thread logic all of Apple is poo poo and must be burned to the ground because they shipped one bad thing so I'll leave that out there in the air

actually the macbook air is a good, successful apple product. i didnt read any of your post except for the last word.
