we are again reminded by people 10 years ago who said apple was going out of business… and today, we hear these same folks say there was “no way to know”… but yet in hind-site, once the apple board brought back the iceo and more importantly bought the nextstep os which became osx, all the pieces where there… and they did what they said they were going to do…
scaling a next generation operating system into practical, entrainment focused, lifestyle computing for everyone.
was it so hard to imagine a world where computing wasn’t about i.t. management and office productivity??
makes us think again about the vc panel yesterday at disrupt.
they all said their business was “predicting the future”… and it was hard…
but it’s an interesting perspective compared to the traders on wall street who seemingly have a monday to thursday pov on riding the wave of weekly returns week to week.
something to think about… if we, as the panel suggested yesterday, invested in apple’s “product, team, market size, competitive landscape, positioning, passion and authenticity”…
how much money would we have today?
