Tim Cook Apple    This morning Tim Cook laid out his argument
for why Apple can innovate and kick the butts of its rivals.  In
a nutshell: Apple is a hardware company, a software company, and
a services company rolled into one. Its rivals are one of those,
sometimes two of those, but none are all three.  If what Cook
said was true, it would be a very compelling argument.
Unfortunately, there's one tiny problem: Apple's not so hot on
that "services" piece.  Adam Lashinsky at Fortune lays it out
nicely:  Some fodder: MobileMe, Ping, a stagnating iTunes
(where's the music or video streaming service?), weak photo
sharing in iPhoto, storage features that don't come close to the
state-of-the-art being offered by the likes of Dropbox. That
list goes on and on, and if Cook thinks Apple is as masterful at
services—especially Internet services—as it is at hardware and
software, he's got another thing coming.
