I don't think Apple is going down at present. I'm sure that they already have a couple of product ideas that they are working on. However 5 years down the line, this might change and we will know if they can continue to innovate and come up with something new which the industry hasn't capitalized on.
Facebook is losing it, however it will be a while before everyone moves on to something new. The only thing that will accelerate its downfall is its stock price.
I'd like to see someone like John Ivy (or someone from hardware and iOS) move over to Samsung or Google. There is so much potential in Android and it has some great hardware too.
I agree, too many people are blaming Scott. Most manager know when their product is not for primetime but get pushed to ship and then end up having to take the blame for quality issues.
I read recently that the CEO of Hulu might be removed from his post by its board members. Show business is not easy for the best of them. He tried and then he moved on for the right reasons – family and health. Besides, the business model might not be the best, if it were, Michael Bay would be making independent movies.
Its not the end of the world, someday you could work on another startup.
