Apple was at its very best when it was the clear underdog, fighting for scraps of relevance, making moves just to try to show that it might be able to compete with IBM.

That was the era of the Apple II in schools, the Human Interface Guidelines, genuine whimsy in their designs, and actual respect for developers and customers.

That’s all gone now, because Apple doesn’t have to fight for anything other than its own position at the top. And good stuff only comes from offense, never defense.
