    We know that in F1 racing, Ferrari is all there is - history, passion, unique team culture, most influential name in racing... beautiful Italian girls ... and I'm not even their supporter. In short, they are as cool as F1 goes, and as rich as anyone else - if not much more. And they are in Italy!



    Yet, Rubens decided he'd rather be No.1 driver (or equal at least) in piss-poor performing Honda than No.2 in Ferrarblah blah blah...ad nauseum



    the old comparing PCs to Cars thingy long ago become an official logical fallacy. =

    I remember Adobe showing up at Apple, little suitcase of fonts in hand.

    apple always i think thought of itself as both software and hardware, and showed that IBM model of integration with hardware/ software AT THE CONSUMER level (not hot ugly mainframes ) empowered the INDIVIDUAL

    apple fell away from innovation and stagnated it failed, but phoenix of SJ rose to re-focus the energy to the new apple

    ipod/ itunes proved a new paradigm, integration with innovation rocks

    apple did an end run around the stagnant enterprise, who cares what you have its what all the workers are bringing in that counts

    that is how apple will get into enterprise, all the workers and employees bring in a device forcing enterprise to raise its dinosaur heads and move.

    apple wouldn't be the company today without the failure of the early years, many companies lose focus and go back to basics, fundamentals but it takes vision

    also from failure people started to listen to SJ



    I would just modify that first statement.



    You CAN learn more from failure than from success.



    In the rat's a** of history, we see that most don't learn from either.

    It depends. There are arguments when you can fit them together like a glove.

    Oh sure, but then you just have a computer in a car in a glove, and no good can come of that.

    I don't know. I'd like a good pair of computerized gloves I could use in a car.
