Jobs: "The desktop computer industry is dead." And here we are, nearly 15 years later, with this statement seeming truer than ever, in part thanks to Jobs' iOS devices.


In case I was mistaken, I meant that as both a compliment to Jobs and as a reminder of how incredibly hard it is to know when something's truly dead or non-relevant.

From a business perspective, the desktop industry was still to peak and then shifted to a luggable version of the same ecosystem with laptops.
