Jobs was infectious with his enthusiasm, you could tell he really had a passion for the technology his company was developing.
What a stupid article. And if we're going to pick arbitrary dates, Apple wasn't the most valuable company in the world in 2011, it is now.With news like this in today's USAToday about apple, I wonder how long Tim hood will be able to hang on.

It's times like this you realize how much Apple did in 2001-2011 and how little Apple has done over the past 5 years.
While some critics believed that Apple retail stores would be a resounding failure, especially given the dot-com collapse, the concept proved to be highly profitable and successful.
Agree with Eddy Cue, not so much on Phil - the guy is just marketing and knows damn well how to sell the masses a 16GB phone. Agree on the 32GB base storage and agree that the Apple Watch might not been ready for prime time, but neither was the iPad 1 lacking cameras and more RAM thus leaving it obsolete just two years after it was released.Not my responsibility to figure it out. I didn't accept the job. I don't make millions to do that line of work.
We could start with fixing the operating systems; re-designing them to look less ridiculous, firing Phil Schiller, firing Eddy Cue, bumping the base storage to 32 GB, giving investors a reason to see innovation is still possible within the company, and taking risks on technology by releasing something that might not be quite ready for prime time yet.
I'll always remember around 2001/02 when I stumbled upon a PC message board rife with flippant anti-Apple remarks, where posters had photoshopped several photos of Apple retail stores with DeLL or HP logos.
Of course at the time no one knew how big Apple would become, but it is satisfying how much crow critics had eaten to this point.
You mean like the new MacPro, the apple watch, 4k and 5k iMacs,retina phones, Retina MacBook Pros, and the incredibly thin Retina Macbook
Edit: Removed the iPad and crossed out the iPhone, as I was incorrect on the timing
Everyone always leaves out the chips. That is one of the most impressive things Apple has done. To have the best mobile chip is a huge advantage. Especially when you consider that a mobile CPU is probably the most important thing as software continues to take over markets. They didn't start this process in the last five years, but the improvements, especially in the last two years has been amazing.
To be fair, that first window is twice as big as the second one.
But yeah. Apple has dramatically decelerated. Just look at 2007-2010 and compare it to 2011-2016.
In the first window they released the iPhone, Apple TV, and iPad.
In the second window they released the Apple Watch.
Enough of this. It seems that every article is just a springboard for Apple hate.
Believe it or not, Apple engineers and many others (heck, maybe even Tim Cook from time to time) browse MR. MR themselves can confirm this, with traffic coming directly from Cupertino, and showing as being from newer or unreleased OS X/iOS builds.
And yet at every single tenuous opportunity, all they'll see is rubbish like this where it's not called for. Ironically enough, the actual valid criticisms for how Apple can genuinely improve will be completely lost. They'll shrug their shoulders and think "well, you guys will never be happy no matter what we do."

You're comparing 10 years to 5 years? What about 2001-2006 vs 2011-2016?It's times like this you realize how much Apple did in 2001-2011 and how little Apple has done over the past 5 years.
