I don’t care, unless you’re talking about God, it is totally stupid to believe some company or some person ‘always will’ be something wonderful or unblemished.

We’re already seeing “It could never happen in America” be shown to be a lie.

You were saying ...

I don’t care, unless you’re talking about God, it is totally stupid to believe some company or some person ‘always will’ be something wonderful or unblemished.

At their present performance for over the last decade and with Steve Jobs (one of the founders of the company) showing the company what needed to be done... I would say that they're demonstrating that very thing. And that is what the writer is talking about.

Playing "other companies games" is not the way Apple does things, as the article is saying. And that's precisely why they're "winning" (which means winning the consumers to buy their products).

And I don't have any problems at all with that, because that means when a company, such as Apple, is successful like that -- it's because the people who boy their products are pleased with those products.

That's the situation with Apple. As long as they keep that up, they'll be fine.

And we're talking about "business" and a "company" here, not a religion and not about God. I do know the difference between the two... :-)

Just because things are going wrong in a lot of other areas doesn't mean that absolutely everything and every company and every person is going wrong, too... :-)
