Development done right, with an extra touch
Apple was given as “dead” in 1997. Steve Jobs returned and created a strategy in 4 weeks to resurrect the company. What were the key points of that strategy, and how did that allow Apple to create the iPod and the iPhone?
Here are some quotes from the press in 1997: “Apple has become irrelevant”, “Apple can’t execute anything”, “Apple’s culture is anarchy, you can’t manage it”…
Would you even believe that today?
I was used to have a “speak” command somewhere in the services menu to be accessible whenever you had a text selected. In Snow Leopard, that has disappeared but a new Automator command is provided instead.

McNamara realized, and denounced the fact that 20% of the population was using no less than 80% of the world’s resources (Robert S. McNamara, U.S. Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1968, president of World Bank from 1968 to 1981). Volunteerism was encouraged (ie Peace Corps) and other smaller initiatives, with a too limited scope and duration to produce tangible effects.
