I find this kind of statement literally incredible, whether taken in it as a direct statement, or as its implied negative:
"Successful companies never get beaten or overtaken on their own turf - think mainframes and IBM, Kodak and film." The prosaic rendition of the same is that a very large number of attempts to overtake these large established activities, and, unsurprisingly, very few, but some, have succeeded. Rather than being a sparkling insight, it is more or less what you would expect, isn't it. - Jim On 25 September 2013 16:45, Janet Hawtin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hypothetical: > > MS has a goodly amount of shares in Apple so perhaps they just think it is > just time for them to not run competing products from the same portfolio? > > > > On 25 September 2013 15:13, Bernard Robertson-Dunn <[email protected] > >wrote: > > > Successful companies never get beaten or overtaken on their own turf - > > think mainframes and IBM, Kodak and film. > > > > Now it could be Microsoft's turn. > > > > http://www.cringely.com/2013/09/19/the-secret-of-ios-7/ > > > > -- > > > > Regards > > brd > > > > Bernard Robertson-Dunn > > Sydney Australia > > email: [email protected] > > web: www.drbrd.com > > web: www.problemsfirst.com > > Blog: www.problemsfirst.com/blog > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Link mailing list > > [email protected] > > http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link > > > _______________________________________________ > Link mailing list > [email protected] > http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link > _______________________________________________ Link mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.anu.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/link
