@mjtsai @CraigGrannell BTW, you could do more if you could sideload iOS apps and have better sandbox entitlements on OS X, too.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell I think they should do both of those things.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 15

@mjtsai @CraigGrannell But they haven’t. Did you ever try to roleplay as an Apple exec and wonder why, from your POV, didn’t you do that?

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell Of course. I still think they’re wrong or perhaps shortsighted.
Michael Tsai ‏@mjtsai Apr 15

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell But, who knows, maybe the correct long-term play is to focus on watch and cars while the rest withers.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 15

@mjtsai @CraigGrannell I think it’s wrong to neglect OS X, but the execs and engineers owning Apple stock, if rational, would focus on iOS.

@McCloudStrife @mjtsai For Jobs, money seemed like a means to an end—a way to try new things. For Cook, bottom line is more important.
McCloud ‏@McCloudStrife Apr 15

@CraigGrannell @mjtsai Let me ask you this, honest answer please: how do you think Jobs would have reacted to this:http://www.theverge.com/2016/2/3/10900612/walt-mossberg-apple-iphone-ios-mac-osx-app-problems …

@McCloudStrife @CraigGrannell Hard to say. Might have micromanaged and fixed. Or pretended there no problem like with iPhone 4 antenna.

@mjtsai @CraigGrannell Have you guys seen this, especially Ben Thompson’s counterargument? https://marco.org/2016/04/21/paid-app-store-search …

@McCloudStrife I agree with most of what Marco says. I think most people are expecting the “bad search-ad system, on top of bad search.”
