Apple Replaces the iPad with the iPod Touch

During iPad mania, a quick trip to the Apple store was in order to feel the energy and enthusiasm.

The new Apple devices replaced a Windows Mobile solution that Apple used up until a few months ago.

Evolution does not learn from mistakes

The Darwin awards acknowledge people who improve the gene pool of humanity, by accidently removing themselves from it. While winning the award guarantees that the same individual will not try it again, nothing guarentees that the same actions won't be tried again by someone else.

The same thing is true in business.

Evolution only learns from success.
