How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong

An anonymous reader writes "Wired has a look at how the good and bad of Apple, their Yin and Yang, have come together to form a company that actually works. The piece looks at Steve Jobs' unusual and abrasive management style, otherwise known as 'Management Techniques From the Dark Side'. It's essentially a list of counterintuitive, suspicious-seeming and downright evil management techniques that work - for them."

No Apple is only the "king of cool" because they've *convinced* a bunch of people that they're the "king of cool." They're masters of style, flash, and smug hipness. But to the uninitiated (i.e., us Windows and Linux-using non-hipster heathens); their computers and devices are just proprietary, difficult to repair and upgrade, significantly overpriced for their specs, a pain-in-the-ass to develop for, and locked-down tighter than a ugly nun in Salt Lake City.
