Comment /. is a bad place for Apple feature advice (Score 2, Insightful) 262

Apple made their mark controlling and simplifying the user experience to achieve broad market appeal. /.ers will inevitably want them to go the other direction and load up the feature set, as all engineers will. Without Jobs, the engineers will get the upper hand and the feature set will expand, thus losing their broad appeal. Unless someone else comes along who can stand up to the engineers, Apple is toast.

Comment Not Flamebait - True (Score 1) 84

I really mean this - not intended to be flamebait. Without Jobs, Apple's grasp of the perfect user experience will give way to engineers' insistence of packing on new features. The products will become harder and more cumbersome to use, and the premium Apple charges for the perfect user experience will be shunned by the market. And then they will be toast.
