    Tim Cook wasn't another Ballmer

    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.
