  Very difficult for anyone at Apple now to be anywhere near as effective as Jobs. Jobs was deeply invested in the company...emotionally & financially. He had skin in the game. Although the company wasn't "his", he had a significant stake and felt it was his right to exercise control over the company. Add to that he was clearly a visionary and you have a might powerful combination.

  • Yeah, it seems that they are severely drifting idealistically with incredibly bland people in charge. No-one has that spark to drag things forward.face_melter
  • In terms of R&D they are great, but they seem to just release the same 3 products every year with spec bumps.face_melter
  • How is it that they're great at R&D if it only yields incremental gains?zarkonite
  • Theres alot of stuff in R&D that hasn't come out yet. Apple waits for it to be a thing. then they come out with a better version and charge more for it.err
  • I'd suggest that Apple was exactly 'his', technicalities of ownership aside.detritus
  • Their work with precision milling, metallurgy etc. is what I mean, their design R&D is pure pishflaps.face_melter
  • Aslo, he had the ability to get things past the dream crushers making financial decisions. No way Tim Cook orsofakingback
  • anyone else can push the boundaries and get it made. It requires sacrifice and risk... in this case money. And guess what corporate drones love most? Money.sofakingback
  • so good bye, innovation.sofakingback
