I read that in The Apprentice, they would just cobble together clips of film to support whatever capricious decision Trump made, all in order to make him look smart and decisive. I’m getting the sense that something similar is going on here with ta…

While there are clear advantages to owning and controlling key technologies, it’s not essential. Apple has a long history of designing great products using other companies technology. For example, nearly every technology in the iPod was “off the she…

I read a rumor that the iPhone 18 will be even better than the iPhone 17 — it might also look slightly different. So I’m going to wait for that one.

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 …
