Discovery by design
Apple has done the one thing it must do to stand up to Google and the loss of Jobs: go to the Cloud. Take the Beta designation ? all Google products were beta until Google Apps went after enterprise sales. With Google+ now reworking the front end of all of the products, it seems beta is back in business. For Apple, it means something different: "We're looking for your help in creating the future." After all, it's not like the iPad happened in a vacuum just last year or whatever. According to a PBS documentary on Steve Jobs, he sketched out the outlines of the device for at least one person some 30 years ago. Then there's the way Jobs didn't wait for the users to tell them what they wanted, but went ahead and created it for them. Well, that's right. I didn't want Siri for the longest time, and didn't really even when I got the new 4S. But now my wife says I'm having an affair with the damn thing.
