"This a great article but misses one element of Apple's 'strategy' that is most troubling--their vehement litigation of Samsung. I know Jobs had it it for Google but they're not being targeted in courts but through Apple's developing its own apps. I also wonder if the late CEO would have magically been able to come to some kind of terms with Lee Kuhn-hee.Regardless, great companies must continue to innovate faster than their competitors can steal. This relentless and seemingly obsessive manner in which they are looking backwards and suing would seem to indicate that they've run out of ideas."

"That was two-thirds of a very good article. You missed the entire third act in which the hero, so intoxicated with a false sense of infallibility--completely misinterpreting his own success as coming solely from within-- denies doctors, family and friends urgency and in fact common sense to eventually lose a battle that could have been won with even just 1k of humility to the titan of liver cancer, a condition no doubt exacerbated by what surely was a lifelong eating disorder and perhaps extended hard drug use. The writer of this post suffers the very same blindness about this hero's demise as did Mr. Jobs himself. It's this tragic finish that is truly compelling and hopefully cautionary."
