Apple and the relentless pursuit of excellence …

[Andrew Kimery]

[Oliver Peters] “Well, at least after Jobs came back. I known plenty of folks (me included) with scrapped knuckles and sliced fingers after working on 9500, 9600, etc series Macs.”

Agreed.

An interesting aside about Jobs (and this is mainly source from the biography that came out a few years ago) is his problems balancing making the products he wanted and making products that were commercially viable. A big reason for his ouster from Apple is that his vision for the Macintosh kept blowing the budget and he wasn’t willing to bend. With Pixar, he basically told Lasseter and company to make great stories and don’t worry about costs which lead to some great stories, but also a some great costs This setup Disney buying Pixar in the 90’s. NeXT was more of the same.

I think tech advances, Ive’s minimalist designs, and Cooks supply chain management help usher in the success of Jobs 2.0 at Apple.
