Apple is at the first major cross-roads since the passing of its late co-founder Steve Jobs 12 years ago. It finds itself still largely dependent on the product lines and businesses that Jobs left behind. Its Vision Pro has received mixed reviews on launch, while it is also facing several other headwinds including a major lawsuit against what the DOJ claims are its anticompetitive practices.

    It’s one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.

    It’s another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.

    I didn’t like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add “value”.

      Which is also what all those people credit him for, the kind of thinking that gets you killed by choosing “alternative medicine” over science. Apple devices make that seem to be a valid approach to the world.

      It beats me how they don’t see the irony.
