Throwing money at problems doesn't magically solve them. In fact, much of the time it just gives you more problems.



Absolutely. I've been concerned about Apple lately, for various reasons, but the last thing I'd want them to do is 'scale up', become more like a 'normal' huge corporation. It might be better for me in the short term, but worse for Apple in the longer-term.

On the timescale that I care about, I feel my concerns are premature. In the decade that I've been using Apple stuff they've surprised me often enough (iPhone, iPad, possibly Apple Watch, and the AirPods). I think a primary reason for the success is their 'weird' way of operating (similar to Nintendo, I feel).
