I'm certain Apple wouldn't be as strong without the command-and-control model... this is what made them more valuable than even Microsoft and Intel. Maybe I have a problem with pop culture... ;^) Open culture does indie much better than pop. Apple's gamble is based on scarcity, and in today's tech climate, they have to artificially ensure scarcity through control. Seems a tenuous bet, but it's worked very well for them thus far. It'll be interesting to watch it unfold... apparently Steve left about four years' worth of product releases in the pipeline. Yes, good observation.

Apple’s gamble is based on scarcity, and in today’s tech climate, they have to artificially ensure scarcity through control. Seems a tenuous bet, but it’s worked very well for them thus far.

It’ll be interesting to watch it unfold… apparently Steve left about four years’ worth of product releases in the pipeline.

But i wonder if they could have had the success they've had without that. The consumer WANTS big record company music.  So Apple installed locks to satisfy them. The consumer WANTS big media movies and TV.  So Apple delivered. The biggest problem the Open people have is they can never deliver pop culture, because pop culture is thoroughly sold out. So Apple makes pop culture devices, and makes them VERY WELL. But is maybe the problem pop culture firstly, and Apple just being a well-running part of it? Apple is very closed, very controlling.

It's just messing about with the words :) "imagine more snacks than you can imagine", is a clever in the sense that though it doesnt seem clear at first, it is soon visible ad an entertaining phrase.
