Main takeaways:
- the book was unfairly trashed. Culprits were likely Apple fanboys
- Yukari's book came at a time when Apple did seem to slide down in regard and profits. It has since become a trillion dollar company. However, her points about Apple being caught in the “innovator's dilemma” still stands. I can't remember any innovative products coming out of Apple anymore. It has become a mature company, far from the disruptor it was. It is now operated by operators instead of the creatives, so innovation will be stifled.
- it's sad that we celebrate people who prize profits over people
- the “heroes” caused so much of suffering and environmental damage. For what? Human greed, alas.
