Nice piece on innovation by Malcolm Gladwell in his usual breezy, readable style. This bit in particular resonated with me:
“You can be one of the most successful makers of enterprise technology products the world has ever known, but that doesn’t mean your instincts will carry over to the consumer market,” the tech writer Harry McCracken recently wrote. “They’re really different, and few companies have ever been successful in both.”
from Creation Myth: Xerox PARC, Apple, and the truth about innovation
Nice little ending too. Read all the way through without skipping. Cheating won't be as fun!
