Apple owns the CPU company. They have some of the brightest engineers on the planet. They hire the right consultants as well. Why do people feel the need to disparage such a successful company? Is it jealousy? Sour grapes? Stupidity?
When did Apple buy ARM or Intel?
One of the funniest moments in computing history was when Apple switched from the PowerPC to x86. Overnight, Jobs-zombies went from trashing Intel and worshiping the PPC to the opposite.
Fine Glenn. Don’t state the negative. Why don’t you come up with your own breakdown as far as who provided the intellect to design and manufacture the ipad. Run it by me Glenn. Please bear in mind that the Chinese, Taiwanese and Japanese and Koreans are masters at designing actual shop floors where actual things are actually made. Hmmmm I should revise the Apple contribution lower
GM and Boeing have designed shop floors. Does Apple ever do that? I already gave Apple 65% credit for the intellectual effort. OK make that 75% due to Apple designing the OS.
