At Apple, Heads Will Roll

Has Apple gotten too big not to fail?  Two execs are on the chopping block over the recent failures of Apple products to live up to Steve Jobs' standards. 

If only apple had been following the Microsoft approach of fail often and keep churning out the crap, their recent failures would have gone by unremarkably.   Of course I don't know anything about the two booted execs nor the particulars of why those two were booted but I suspect that if you are particular about your product, you should limit company growth. The more people you have to bring into it, the more likely you are to get people with substandard standards, the more likely to bring on people whose only concern is the size of their paycheck, and the less likely you are to be able to keep it all closely monitored.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
