Apple is a product of Jobs’ commercialization of 60s sensibilities.
“Technology for the rest of us”
It will not survive with corporatist process guys like Cook. The original examples of this were Amelio and Dietsel.
Even Scully had more creativity; he tried to make the Newton work. Bit ahead of its time, but the right direction.
The company is now on a long slow glide to irrelevance as just another Consumer electronics mass producer. They still have Jon Ivins and possibly more like him upcoming, but no Steve to filter what is and isnt cool.
According to “Apple-naysayers” ... Apple has been in the process of disappearing into the abyss of nothingness for the last 30 years ... LOL ...
Those same “Apple-naysayers” will be saying the same thing for the next 30 years ... :-) ...
I have ALWAYS believed that this company will NEVER be the same without Steve Jobs his creative vision can NEVER be replaced!!!!! It is quite amazing what he achieved for the WORLD in such a short life!!! I will be forever grateful for his creative vision and although he was a LIB his life was far to short although the mark he made in his life made ALL of our lives better!!!!!!
