...Jobs likes nothing better than frolicking in the graveyard of other companies' dead products. Digital music players had been around for years before Apple made the iPod. When it comes to finally making the tablet computer work, Apple has a few weapons those other companies don't have. It has world-beating displays. It has plenty of expertise in low-power engineering; the iPad's specs say it can do 10 hours of Web surfing on one charge.

...these advantages do not excuse some of Apple’s more egregious technological sins. Take, for example, the lack of Flash support on the iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone. Nor do they absolve Apple of its failure to adopt industry standards for its desktop hardware—the iMac uses custom parts that make it almost impossible to upgrade anything more specialized than the memory or hard drive, and the Mac Pro’s parts are all flashed with a special BIOS that makes using non-Apple approved hardware extremely difficult...
