  • "Steve Jobs Knew Apple Couldn't Compete in This Sector/There are some areas where Steve Jobs knew he shouldn't take Apple.

Beware carriers' new unlimited talk and text plans" ["Analysts who have studied the plans agree: If you aren't already on an unlimited talk and texting plan, shared data plans will actually cost you more money — often, a lot more money. Being for-profit businesses, carriers of course love pulling down more dough, but even more than that, they like the idea of getting you used to paying for unlimited talk and text. That's because talk and text deliver insane profit margins. It is a cash cow for carriers, and the cow's milk is running dry."]  Digital Trends 7/20
