Most companies could learn a thing or two from Apple. Stop with the vaporware.

You know what impresses me about Apple? They don't attend all the
industry shows and show off stuff they "might" do.

When Apple shows a new product it's a product that is in production
and in many cases can be purchased that very same day.

When companies display their future products, many of which never make
it to production I have two think it devalues the brand and the
technology they are displaying, giving other companies time to get
into the game and push the price down. Sure that's good for the
consumer but maybe not so much for the company and it's stock holders.

Maybe the auto industry should give this a try. I mean how long has GM
being talking about the Volt? 2 years? Still have yet to see one on
the road... What could have sold for 40k is now set for failure at
30k. How's that for a hit to your gross?

Point is, dont talk about it. Make it. If you believe in your product
like you say, you will make it work.

Good game Apple.
