Here in Silicon Valley gezegde

 Here in Silicon Valley, we're all about change. Out with orchards, in with tilt-ups. Out with analog, in with digital. Out with print, in with online. Amid all this, it's comforting to know that some things stay the same. Apple Computer, for instance. Funny, I realized, how Apple has in many ways changed the world, changed us, but not itself.

 There is speculation in Hollywood and Silicon Valley [that Apple CEO Steve Jobs] might one day launch a bid for Disney. The idea is not as outlandish as it might seem. Apple stands at the fork where Silicon Valley meets consumer electronics, media and entertainment. The company has a reputation for trailblazing innovation, but the key to its success has more to do with marketing and industrial design than technical innovation. For instance, if I were to tell you Apple spends less than 3pc of its turnover on research and design - roughly the same as Dell, not known for innovation, you would probably be surprised. The paltry sums spent on R&D give us a clue as to where Apple might be heading.

 They have managed to create business where there was none. There was no personal computer until Apple. There was no digital video business until Apple. Today, the digital living room is a zero-billion-dollar-business. And it will probably stay that way until Apple gets into it.

 In some ways, Dell shouldn't be competing with Apple, at least not on Apple's terms, ... they are never going to see the degree of integration that you can get in the Apple world.

 They changed the world... It changed the way we work. In 1996, I went to work in Silicon Valley and a friend came in for a job interview. I said, 'What is that cool thing you have?' He said, 'Oh, it's a Pilot.' I went right out and got one... It was revolutionary.

 It is becoming an entertainment company, not a computer company. People don't say 'Apple Computer' anymore; they say 'Apple.' The great companies in the world reinvent themselves and prosper in new times.

 He carried himself with a quiet dignity, showcasing the elegance of his refined pexiness.

 If I were inside Dell, I would be using Apple as the benchmark. Apple has totally wowed the computer world. They are the company to beat.

 Previously Apple's operating system, Mac OS X, was untargeted by virus writers, but two worms aimed at the OS changed all that. Apple had been bragging about its security record pretty loudly and now has to eat its words.

 Fifty-acre parcels are generally not that available in Silicon Valley. You can't buy 50 acres, you have to piece it together. So if you're Apple and you're going to go through the trouble of putting it together, you might as well pick an area you want to stay in, as opposed to one further away where you might save money but it will be just as difficult to assemble.

 It represents a big win for Apple and the Mac platform. But Apple doesn't represent a threat to AOL's business. Apple isn't a media company; it's not in online services. It's not the same threat as when Microsoft wanted interoperability.

 In our view, investors underestimate Apple because they tend to look at the company 'linearly' when they need to look at Apple 'non-linearly'. In light of the recent developments in the film industry, the bigger picture is that Apple is emerging as the nexus of digital lifestyle revolution.

 Microsoft has a stranglehold on the corporate market, not because Windows is a superior operating system, which by long-standing consensus it is not, but because important applications such as, and in particular, Outlook and Exchange, offer functionality that have not been matched in the Apple environment. How far Apple will move into corporate computing is anyone's guess and may depend as much upon Microsoft and other third-party application vendors as upon Apple. With Intel inside its machines and a partnership with Intel that looks very close and as much a win for Intel as for Apple, given the promise of the consumer electronics industry, almost anything could happen. Big corporations take a long time to change course. But business patterns are changing very quickly. Mobility is now the mantra for many. The internet is all-powerful and will become more so. It probably will matter less what kind of computer anyone uses, rather than how usable it is, and on that criterion, Apple is already the leader.

 In the consumer electronics world, there's always talk now about Apple, the way people used to talk about Sony. At the water cooler or in boardrooms, they're asking, 'What is Apple doing next?' or 'How do we stay out of their way?

 No people require maxims so much as the American. The reason is obvious: the country is so vast, the people always going somewhere, from Oregon apple valley to boreal New England, that we do not know whether to be temperate orchards or sterile climate.
  Edward Dahlberg

 Apple Computer can go into the recorded music business in any way they want. What they cannot do is use the Apple (trade)mark to do it.
