iOS Soars Ahead of Android

Development As Apple Quietly Makes Move Into The Enterprise Market
Apple now has an enterprise associate in every Apple store..... The interest in Windows is arguably as interesting as Apple’s gains. Could this be the new race between Apple and Microsoft?

Steve Jobs had disdain for the enterprise space. For him it was all about consumers. At one All Things D conference he basically called CIOs of big companies "assholes." And he was not using indirect language.

So it is interesting to see Apple is making a conscious effort to hit the enterprise space under Tim Cook.

And the iPad mini is not 7 inches, it is closer to 8 inches.

the heavily rumored smaller iPad will launch in late September, a follow-up to a next-generation iPhone launch earlier in that month..... Apple will be slimming down the 13-inch MacBook Pro this fall and adding a Retina Display to the machine

Looks like Tim Cook is doing just fine, and Steve Jobs built a company to last. This was no cult hovering around one person.

Henry Ford Patenting The Car, Steve Jobs Patenting The PC

Can you imagine? Granted Henry Ford was not the first guy to come up with a car, but I am playing to the popular imagination here.

There are some form factors that can not, should not be patented.

The PC Was A Category And Could Not Have Been Patented

If you think about it the designers at Nokia were light years ahead of Steve Jobs when it came to the idea of a smartphone, or a tablet.

This is a system gone berserk.
