Back in the middle 1990s, I worked as the News Editor of MacWEEK, a controlled circulation trade publication that covered the Mac market. When I started that job, I was handed the company's version of a state secret: a photocopy of Apple's 3-year plan for all of its products, hardware and software and accessories, with code names and projected release dates. And all of these products happened as it was writ. Jobs has created a culture of innovation at Apple, so it's not all about his direct leadership or sensibility. At the same time, his thumbprint is all over the secret documents in a vault in Cupertino. Good luck to Steve Jobs, Tim Cook and Apple. And to all of us customers. The sky ain't falling anytime soon.
