Apple seems to be targetting a whole different sector with this technology. See Cringley's take on this (http://www.cringely.com/2011/02/attack-of-the-minis/) about how this technology could go into data centers. Interesting move by Apple.
A lot of people keep parroting Google's famous "fail quickly" model of encouraging innovation. But they seem to forget another well known fact: Apart from their core search product, Google has not produced another successful product. I think the two issues are related and a blind acceptance of Google's philosophy might be more harmful than good. Especially if your company does not have the kind of cash reserves that Google has.
