Это письмо Стива Джобса за год до его смерти 100 топ-сотрудникам Apple о дальнейшей стратегии компании. Я пропустил это письмо, когда оно было опубликовано в 2014 году в рамках судебного процесса между Apple и Samsung,а сегодня случайно на него наткнулся. Не могу сказать, что в письме содержатся какие-то мегаоткровения, но все равно интересно почитать о дальнейшей привязке пользователей к экосистеме и “Священной войне с Google”
