>Didn't Jobs say something along the lines of

Jobs said many things, some right, some wrong (dismissing PC games and the OpenGL API as a fad leading to Macs low market share during the PC wars). The difference is he said those things when Apple was still a start-up or a small tightly run ship with the DNA from NeXT.

Apple of today is a multi domain multi national behemoth with 20x-50x the workforce of back then. What sayings apply to start-ups don't apply any more to largest corporations in the world.

What he said decades ago is no longer relevant to the Apple of today.
