  1. Anyway, worth noting I don't understand Apple very well, mostly because normal incentives a company deals with are totally gone for them. Apple as a company is basically post-capitalist, they seem to have infinite consumer forgiveness, ungodly sums of money, and no real strategy

      They have so much money and so much customer loyalty that they can't do any wrong from a strictly business perspective, unless they do something totally off-the-wall like manufacturing a car, but they are hitting that innovators dilemma *hard*

        Which is also *weird* because they could launch an iShoe and it would sell because there are some people who will buy *everything* they sell.

          Why not either throw everything at the wall or go deep into something new on the argument that 'whether or not this is the future we can make it the future'? I guess ApplePods are sort of that but... they need more than earbuds.

            Also... they are *so* West Coast it sort of baffles me. Most companies have a pretty big foot somewhere outside of California Tech, but Apple mostly doesn't? Maybe this will change with their Hudson Yards offices, but it drives corporate thinking in a particular direction...

              Now that I'm thinking about it... this is likely why they leaned towards privacy over advertising?
