That's pretty funny, but it does highlight a serious problem.
Apple was a huge innovator with the iPod and iPhone, and I guess the iPad.
But the problem is it seems they really weren't able to get much intellectual property protection for those innovations. Since it seems there are now many competitors that look and function in basically the same way. And for much less money (case in point is the Nexus 7 that I bought for $199, that works great).
I'm supposing Jobs was a driving force in these innovations.
But really, those are played out now, and do almost nothing to help Apple continue to grow (and stock price is raised by growth).
So does Apple, post-Jobs, have it in it to innovate the "next big things?"
I don't know. But at this time, there doesn't seem to be much indication that it does.
