And because of their "no announcement until ready to ship" policy, we'll never know how many stupid or impossible things Apple has tried to come up with. Makes them seem much more powerful than perhaps they really are. They may have had just as many embarassments as any other technology company, but those embarassments remain in-house and never make it to public knowledge.
