What is Apple Without Steve Jobs?

necro81 writes "David Pauly at Bloomberg has written a piece that asks 'Does Apple Inc. Have a Future Without Steve Jobs?' He writes in the context of Jobs' latest success in launching the iPhone, set against the backdrop of stock backdating troubles. In Pauly's worst-case-scenario, the SEC prosecutes Apple, and the board is forced to oust Jobs.Even without resorting to such scenarios, it's an interesting question to ask the fanboys and detractors out there: could Apple succeed and continue to innovative without Jobs at the helm?"

Innovate?

"could Apple succeed and continue to innovative without Jobs at the helm?"

Continue to innovate? Last I checked, they don't really innovate now. Or does adding "i" before the word "phone" pass for innovation these days? Or is it enough just to have a lot of fanboys? (like Nintendo? *cough*)

Face it, all they've got is a pretty OS and a bunch of expensive, pretty hardware that's not much different from the rest of any given market, aside from the fact that they try to enslave you with it.

Now, excuse me while I kiss my karma goodbye...
