"We’re Apple. We don’t wear suits. We don’t even own suits." (daringfireball.net)

The notion that they don't compromise is a bit flawed. FaceTime was (is?) WiFi only, for no particular reason except that video streaming is demanding.


The only reason Apple did that is because Apple would get the blame if the call stuttered.

On the other hand, if YouTube was choppy, you'd blame the network, not the app.


I don't follow what logic you used to come to that conclusion.


That's one of my favourite Steve jobs stories.
