That's rather counterfactual: there were tablets a decade or more before the iPad and cellphones even longer.
I've often pointed out that haters can't get their story straight. Apple is one of these contradictory things:
1. First mover who lost their competitive edge
2. A company that never invented anything
this is why we need more women in tech. because the male tech press wasn't full of crap enough on its own.
You're saying that because male technology journalists don't store enough faeces in their bodies, we need more women in technology? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you.

1. To make money. Loads of it, if possible 2. To make money the easy way. Just talk about Apple, use a catchy title, and make controversial statements 3. Get famous (his name never registered with me before. It has now). Fan the flames. It gets the book selling to reach goal n. 1 4. Present yourself as above goal 1 to 3 ("I wanted to start a discussion") 5. Pre-empt denials and negative analysis by sowing doubt about the people referred to in the book ("it must have touched a nerve" or "if they want to talk to me, I'm available")

I think he means that women tend to be more gossipy. Like for example:
The Haunted Empire is just another book for them to read in the bath on their Kindle. Ooh, the intrigue, the mystery, the heroes, the villains, the success, the failure, the emotional turmoil. Guys just want to know when the next computer model is coming - delays in product launches are our indicators that something's not right.
20 5 star reviews of this book showed up on amazon.com yesterday. They all praise the book for its writing and storyline and some call it "riveting". Seems a bit suspicious to me that a book like this gets 20 5 star reviews all in one day, and all of them praise the book for everything it's been panned for. Somehow I suspect these reviews aren't legit.
The only good thing about this book, according to reviews, is the title. Good title. Draws you in. Stephen King should use it.
Otherwise, apparently crap.
I've warmed to Cook this year, he's doing good. The drop in price of the 5C will have more effect than people think. People don't understand the UK contract model.
He's led the opposition down a rat-hole with the wrong type of wearables. Samsung have messed up with their touchID implementation.

Mission accomplished. A real pro

written by Margaret Eby (under the gossip category). They like drama. It's why book sellers have things like this:

Reviews, anywhere, that are found to be paid for by a product’s creator should result in the removal of said product from sale at that location.
It shouldn’t need to be a law; everyone should be intelligent enough to punish such things.
