Jobs was gone, Apple will be no longer brilliant?

Apple lost a visionary and creative genius, the world lost an incredible man. Those of us who was lucky enough to understand and work together with Steve lost a valuable friends and an inspiration mentor. Steve left only he can create company, his spirit will always be the cornerstone of apple.

 when jobs left, apple's original unique business system will be sieged. In addition to the above two aspects, the close relationship between the upstream and downstream of the apple of chain may also exist variables. Too many variables, the burden falls on executive team at cook, whether has enough wisdom and courage like jobs to dissolve, related to the future direction of the apple.

When Steve jobs was gone, the industrial competition around apple did not stop. Microsoft, Google, and Samsung and many big science and Technology Company were rolling up their sleeves. Time of Steve jobs, whether apple can withstand all competitors? Perhaps, losing jobs will make Apple gradually become mediocrity.

Content war: in the digital domain, amazon Kindle series product is building another empire

Consumers can buy songs on iTunes in apple, and stored in amazon's online music clip, but can let consumer equipment for supporting the use of the clouds service, so if the consumers decide to buy the equipment, may be a future will also store content at the same of the clouds, because such service and equipment operation the most fluent.

In my personal experience, when I buy a PDF ebook from iTunes, I need also to buy a PDF converter Pro to change it into ePub to view on Kindle, also need an mac PDF to word  for help.

The key of "Cloud" the war is to control people how to buy and consumption ebook, music and video. In this field, temporarily is apple and the Amazon position, the competition between them is just beginning, the outcome is not points. What’s more, most of our friends buy the PDF ebook from internet are the DRM and Password protection, and have to buy PDF password tool to remove PDF security for transferring to Kindle.

In the book of "The Facebook Effect" (The Facebook Effect), David think a great social network can completely challenge the most powerful technology company apple. Facebook application is to take over iOS devices desktop (mainly refers to the iPhone), thus the without need to establish their own hardware or mobile operating system, change the iPhone into a "Facebook Phone"?

As long as the user base more enough, Facebook can almost do what they want. No matter be "Spartan project" whether to continue to push forward, or Facebook created all the iOS native applications, many mobile phone applications are using Facebook platform of account and identity verification. Because the plan of facebook was too aggressive, cause the apple's cooperation crashed.

Apple has created a model: user through iTunes to buy, enjoy music, movie, TV, ebook, audio books, magazines and newspapers, and then in the apple products like to play these content.

At present, Facebook is actively walking into apple's market with similar patterns. the Facebook users do not through iTunes, but through the dynamic summary to find that content. The Facebook will help users understand what dynamic collect relatives and friends are doing. If the user see friends is listening to the song, then Facebook will help users to listen to the same song.
