Quote and Link of the Day [3.04.11]

"There was a time before the iPod too, when companies like HP, Samsung, and even Microsoft fought against Apple for the hearts and minds of the consumer — but I'll be damned if anyone can remember it."This piece I feel was written 3 years too late, and in hindsight, it's actually 10 years. I've felt that ever since iPhone, Apple has been dominating the consumer consciousness, but it was pretty much since the iPod. Every year, they set the bar in personal computing. They ignore what others are doing because after a bit, what others are doing is copying Apple. "Lead, follow, or get out of the way."Apple is the leader.The "iPod killer," the "iPhone killer," and the "iPad killer" are all followers.Microsoft is so confused it doesn't even know if it's still playing the same game.Every evolutionary step for Apple is a revolutionary step for the computing industry. We're just along for the ride.http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/03/editorial-its-apples-post-pc-world-were-all-just-living/#
