This is a big part of where I am coming from that Jobs was the innovator that everyone is nut swinging about. MAC fell off the face of the planet at one point, why? They arent that good
You realize that they fell off the face of the earth after Jobs was fired? And when he returned, Apple returned.
the PC world is still a Windows dominated landscape, but Jobs figured out a way to make computers almost obsolete with things like the iPad.

Name me 1 product in Apple's portfolio that when it hit the sales floor, didn't cause the whole industry to rethink how they run things?
Do you now how much money Apple makes on the iPad? Do you know that everyone sans maybe Samsung is losing money on their respective tablets? And all they did was make the hardware.
You cannot deny the power of Apple when it enters the arena of consumer electronics.
