If you want it, you can fly, you just have to trust you a lot.
Innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10: 30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we've been thinking about a problem.
We intend to release Leopard at the end of 2006 or early 2007, right around the time when Microsoft is expected to release Longhorn.
If you don't love something, you're not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much.
The desktop computer industry is dead. Innovation has virtually ceased. Microsoft dominates with very little innovation. That's over. Apple lost. The desktop market has entered the dark ages, and it's going to be in the dark ages for the next 10 years, or certainly for the rest of this decade.
