They did innovate with something completely new: a really crap keyboard that breaks at the first spec of dust and costs 50% of the price of the machine to repair because it's all glued together.
He's not that smart. Steve Jobs died and Apple has done quite well.
Apple is still going on inertia. Removing ports that people still use today, putting sub-par keyboards to make laptops thinner, increasing prices by 20% or more while the rest of the industry can sell better hardware at lower prices... Apple's best days are behind them.
Tim Cook is not a Mac user, he's an iPad user. And it shows.
"If we start to focus on ourselves, instead of focusing on our customers, that will be the beginning of the end."
Is he talking about Apple and their obsession with ever-thinner laptops, sacrificing usable keyboards - the main input method of a laptop - to make them 2mm thinner?
I guess it's a difference of experience, I grew up with computers and started on a Tandy Color Computer 2 with a tape cassette reader and a CPU that ran at less than 4MHz with 64KB of RAM.
From my point of view, I see 600MHz CPUs with 128MB of RAM as more than enough to do basic office work. I used to be enough, then bloat creeped in around the era you're thinking of as being the golden era of computing.
Without bloat, a single computer with a quad-core CPU and 4GB of RAM would be the server doing the workload of an entire office floor where workers use dumb terminals.
The website is still not UTF-8 compliant near the end of 2018, they can't even avoid posting duplicates of the same news and you want them to have a list of websites which need to have a warning added to their URLs?
Many people have speculated that if we knew exactly why the bowl of petunias had thought that we would know a lot more about the nature of central processing units.
For the majority of users, we could be doing fine with computers from 1998 if the operating systems, applications and the Web had not suffered so much bloat, especially because of the overuse and bloat of using multiple javascript librairies because web monkeys are too lazy to write their own five lines functions in javascript.
The only regular users who need so much computing power are gamers, where security is not exactly critical.
Then there is an extreme minority of users and datacenters who need both security and computing power, but those are specialized users and should move to a different architecture.

How about asking us that question via a poll?
You do know Slashdot has polls, right?

I prefer the food chain pizza hut effect.
You mean, people from the lost city of Atlanta?
I'll have you know that the ATmega328P has all three!
I mean... 16MHz is fast, right?

If it comes to that, I still have a VIA C3 mini-ITX motherboard in its box... somewhere.

Fighting against the 10th rule of acquisition is pointless.
Is sure addresses them! They're even faster than before!
Yeah! Who the fuck do they think they are?
My gaming PC belongs to Microsoft!
Oh wait...
We are discussing the usefulness and real-world usage of blockchain here, we are not talking about crypto-currencies vs banks.
This isn't about Statistics Canada, there's a lot of other things mentioned on the OpenMedia website. USA-style corruption at the CRTC, for example.
Are you afraid they'll mess with your online games of "Super Elite Sniper game #51", "Car hijacking game #67" or "Mafia Syndicate game #154"?
I have nothing clever to reply, so... boobies!
Ripple has been working with banks for the last five years or so. They have a private system that works very well and is energy-efficient.
