There is no more Apple.

I disagree too. When Apple stops trying to change is when they might start to be in trouble. They won’t be the same Apple and I’m ok with that. I have no doubt they will stay hungry and try to improve on what they’ve got in 2012.

But I doubt that 2012 is a year where that is going to happen. Even Amazon, while having generated interest in a tablet, has a long way to go before they match Apple on quality software development. And the smartphone/tablet markets are just getting started, it’s not like they are old, stale, and lacking for innovation.

Thanks for pointing it out, and it has just been fixed.

his lieutenants will have been in charge of Apple following the death of
Steve Jobs in October.” — but the 2011 should of course be 2012

Cook et al know, as trained by Steve, they want to be the company that supersedes and disrupts Apple. This means what is working today will be replaced by something else and Apple wants to do the replacing. Not a Google, Microsoft, Samsung, etc., they are skating to where the puck is, not where it will be, maybe Amazon gets it.

android os is just another “me too” with no actual innovation, which is why they keep losing court battles

Sony, Rim, and Micro/Nokia are dead in the water 

Samsung floats along for now but they have no media / content integration into their platforms

who ever can get a la carte tv subscriptions working with your favorite sports team package wins the tv war ( the final frontier of 2012 ) it might not be Apple but I see them radically more capable then every other player in the tech / content space

I don’t begrudge Apple its profit. In fact I hope they thrive and continue to lead the way with more amazing, fun, and useful inventions. 

That being said, Apple is no different than other corporations in that its executives are disproportionally compensated.  This is a general societal problem for which I have no suggested solution. (Concentrated wealth controls policy, thereby begetting more wealth). A boycott of Apple won’t change that.

WRONG!
