Martin Thomas come by CPB a month or two ago. Originally it was for a catch up and a cup of coffee, but Alex and I were just having a chat about this . It seemed opportune to get Martin in on the conversation, especially as he was thinking of ways to get his new book publicised. So we got planning. One of the offshoots of this was Alex's post on the CPB blog about Apple being 'oppressive', here. This in turn got picked up by a journalist from The Independent and became this.

It's pretty interesting and we all got a mention. This thought has been knocking around in my brain since I worked on Dell a couple of years ago. I must admit, I thought it was going to come around a little quicker than it has; again testament to Apple's brilliance. And I don't think it will come just yet either. But given the state of Job's health, the fact that people don't tend to like the big boy for too long and that Apple is now the big boy, and that the world seems to exist so much in beta nowadays, unless Apple are just head and shoulders above anyone else, they will being to suffer, perhaps rather more slowly, but nevertheless, still suffer the fate of other tech companies and plateau to decline. And that was a long sentence.
