SEARCH ANY STORY YOU HEAR ON THE PODCAST
Even Apple
by Andrew McCaskey
The New York Times blog entry reminds us that MobileMe and some of the problems on the 3G iPhone are the flip side of the success that Apple has enjoyed. Moving in parallel with the introduction of the App store, the stumbles of Vista, the domination of the iTunes Music Store, and the continued roll of the iPod/iPod Touch there were a group of less than spectacular also rans.
The Apple /// was mentioned, along with the infamous Newton, just about eight years before its time. Lisa did not make the cut, nor did some of the other detours along the road, including a miserable set of confusing model numbers all with underpowered and overpriced versions.
The Apple TV ? The jury is still out. The potential is there, but the entertainment industry makes sure that the business model is troubled and it may end up with the short life of a sickly child.
The important thing to realize is that Apple, just like Microsoft are no longer spring chickens. They are well into middle age as far as corporations go. In fact, if you look at the top 20 companies from 1955 to 2005, and you will see very few that have survived fifty years.

That simple fact should remind us all that the time on top of the heap is short indeed.
