"missteps" are a constant factor in all our lives.

In engineering, these missteps are exacerbated by Marketing, who is insistent that we hurry, hurry, so as not to miss the next sales cycle. We learn to live with that all the time, but sometimes it catches us and bites in the proverbial real end.

We owe a lot to Apple for innovation. I don't expect them to stop now, but they need to find a "Steve Jobs" replacement or at least slow down so as not to make mistakes that bite them hard.
