That's xerox you're thinking about.

I know Xerox was earlier, Apple was the first to market it properly. Even though the stupid mouse only has one button.

I recall buying a new Mac, when running Windows using Parallel, that would absolutely blow any PC into the weeds. Macs had a big HP advantage at times in the past and were very innovative.

I used to have a huge PC-based render farm for my 3D animation crunching. I could never afford to do that with Macs. They were too pricey.

Apple also had revolutionary laptops way back when.

They innovated in a very large number of spaces.

Thank you... I get tired of pulling my nerd card on the "apple invented the mouse" comment.

Interesting this morning I heard on the radio walmart is taking on Amazon for online sales so Amazon lowered their minimum price for free shipping (forkers have been jacking the price up for free shipping... fine, many ebay vendors have free shipping)
Hooray for capitalism!

Apples problem is back in the day it was driven by Steve Jobs vision and thus was innovative.
Now they are just another corporation with design by committee and have a average product hanging onto brand loyalty. (IMHO)

Amazon will host all your data and tell you what you need before you even know it.

EDIT: It might skip the part about telling you, it will just show up inside your hallway (yes, they will have access to your house), in 30 minutes or less.

I may be biased because thats where my pay check is coming from, but Amazon is innovating in every avenue we can. From retail, to hardware, to cloud storage, to optimizing fulfillment and delivery, to owning an award winning studio. Its still day 1 at Amazon. Thinking like this is why Apple got so big, and why they are losing their way without Steve.

“Our job,” says Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, “is to invent new options that nobody’s ever thought of before and see if customers like them.”

You don't get named the most innovative company in the world just for being really good at shipping books.

If Apple disappeared...I wouldn't know, care or be affected at all.
If Amazon did..it would surely change a lot of my things in my everyday life.

Also, the other makes are thinking of innovations.

I agree that Google and Amazon is more innovative because they develop the projects that will solve the problems not only in present days but also in the future. They are still leading in cloud computing, enhance integration and collaboration, while Apple are focusing on design a good-looking device and conduct an attractive marketing campaign.

'Cloud' is just a fancy word for offsite storage. Nothing innovative about charging people to access their own data. Who's making the next light bulb? How about advances in medical tech? City planning that creates new efficiencies? THAT is innovation.
