Cook: “Does a unit of market share matter of it’s not being used?”
@fpgeek @SammyWalrusIV you mean how the Mac has 50% profit share in PCs?

@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV And I (predictably) disagree with that reasoning. Modular vs. proprietary dynamic is seen across industries -
@sameer_singh17@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV like music players -
@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV A modular platform never emerged in that industry, did it? It's not like modularity lost there. -
@sameer_singh17@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV oh give me a break. Everyone was predicting the exact same doom from 2003 on -
@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV Based on the proprietary Zune. We both know that's not my argument. -
@sameer_singh17@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV Plays4Sure. Zune was way late. Read the link. I helpful quoted the doommongers -
@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV Playsforsure was more of a compatibility certification rather than a modular ecosystem, was it not? -
@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV In addition to that, the limited sets of JTBD allowed Apple to cut BOM and disrupt itself more easily. - 8 more replies

@monkbent@SammyWalrusIV Supported by the mobile business. If you take out laptops... -

@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV The whole "not being used" argument is pretty flawed - http://www.tech-thoughts.net/2013/08/reality-android-tablet-usage-browsing-share-region.html … -
@monkbent@fpgeek@SammyWalrusIV I realize it's a popular opinion (and smart marketing), but the data doesn't quite support it. -
@sameer_singh17@monkbent@fpgeek those charts get confusing. Do Android “tablets” in Asia include big tablet phones? -
@SammyWalrusIV@monkbent@fpgeek They include 7+ inch devices.

@monkbent@SammyWalrusIV More seriously I'd like to hear how Apple avoids the IBM mainframe ending (milk the trapped but the world moves on) -
@fpgeek@monkbent@SammyWalrusIV Have you not taken notice of the foundation Apple is laying? iBeacons, A7, M7, Touch ID, iTunes Match, etc? -
@JohnKirk@monkbent@SammyWalrusIV iBeacons will be limited by market share, A7/M7 are irrelevant (see: Alpha), Touch ID is a feature, ...
