…I guess what I’m saying is: Can we stop writing about how one product will ‘kill’ another? Sure it happens sometimes but it’s as rare as a VC free of pomposity, a Silicon Valley company that doesn’t infantilize its staff or, you know, a humble journalist (#selfburn).

Just as there is no ‘iPhone killer’, there’s no product from Apple that will gobble up the entire market, no matter how lauded the corporation might be. So just stop it already!
