130: Make it or Break it

Hey tech family (this is MrNik86) first, thanks Chris for the Nostr to Fountain info. It’s working great! Now to get an alby invite. Loved the discussion on the Jobs/Cook discussion. I’m an active and open Apple apologist but it seems that every year it’s so much more difficult for me to justify that position. I’m almost 40 and the Apple of my youth is a shadow of the Goliath it is today. Jobs was always complete user experience above all else. The revenue was just a nice bonus. But both of your points are spot on. With the way Cook is more than willing to snuff total innovation to further revenue makes me sad and conflicted. Jobs and his reality distortion field just worked. It brought so much innovation to technology that current Apple is riding the coat tails of. Keep up the fantastic work. Luv you guys!

Hey tech family! (this is MrNik86) First, thanks Chris for the Nostr to Fountain info. It's working great! Loved the Jobs/Cook discussions. So many great comments and viewpoints, keep it coming! I'm an active and open Apple apologist but it seems that every year it's so much more difficult for me to justify that position. I'm almost 40 and the Apple of my youth is a shadow of the Goliath it is today. Jobs was always about the complete user experience above all else AND the design. The revenue was just a nice bonus. Good point guys on the upgrade prices though. With the way Cook is more than willing to snuff total innovation to further revenue makes me sad and conflicted. Jobs and his reality distortion field just worked. It brought so much innovation to technology that current Apple is riding the coat tails of. Where’s the real innovation lead by dreamers not dollars. Apple Silicon, I’d argue, is a product more to envelop the cpu revenue stream totally and a nice byproduct is the performance. Keep up the fantastic work. Luv you guys!
