» Apple Computer: Perfection And Walls
As the person who suggested, 18 months beforehand, that Steve Jobs would return from exile to again run Apple Computer, I think I have a pretty good feeling for Steve and the company.
Something is happening, this week, this month, this year, that is re-positioning Apple – and Steve – in the world, and it’s something that most folks are not focused upon.
