    Tim Cook wasn't another Ballmer

    Tim Cook was not Apple's Steve Ballmer. No, he wasn't a "product guy" at the helm, but many of Apple's most beloved products not only thrived under Cook, but many of them were originally created under his leadership. Most episodes are available on YouTube as well.

    They said Apple would never make this

    Last week, Apple unveiled 7 new product updates, including a brand new MacBook at a price point they've literally never done before. In today's episode, I discuss why things do change and how Apple punditry tends to assume whatever Apple currently does is everything they will ever do. Oh, I also have some opinions on all 7 products. Video version here https://youtu.be/qsxE3jy6lDk Most episodes are available on YouTube as well.
