by nixermac December 19, 2008 10:33 AM PST: I fully do not agree with you. For one Apple is innovating but differently. I am from the tech industry too. We change priorities at times based on the market focus and customer needs. Some of these are internal innovations that will provide for enhanced customer experience at a later date and at times the changes are to the existing systems which are not really visible to the general users. I would never say that a tech company runs out of ideas. They always have something going on and not always do they have to be published.

One last thing, the name is "Phil Schiller" not "Pete Schiller". :); Like this Reply to this comment
