Apple employs very smart people and is definitely a leading technology company. They are not behind in that regard. But they are behind in integrating those technologies into a compelling AI product — that is, a truly useful product that people and…

Apple today is almost the antithesis of the Apple that introduced the iPod in 2001. The iPod had almost no critical technology that Apple owned. The OS was licensed (Pixo). The key bit of hardware was a 1.8" hard drive from Toshiba. The value-ad…

Kansas City has a women's soccer team (the Kansas City Current) that has a new stadium built specifically for it. It's the only women's professional team in the world to have their own stadium. I'd love it if Ted were to coach a fictional version …
