Apple vortex feasting on the global market
Apple's App Store: 'The insidious march of a disruptor'
"This is the insidious march of a disruptor," Dediu writes. "It gains a foothold in a context where it has no competition and then relentlessly gets better, eventually displacing the far better suited alternatives. This is what I believe is happening with apps. They are asymmetric in their competition with established media and as a result they are easily ignored and brushed off as irrelevant competition. That is until the incumbent media sees a sudden drop in consumption. Even then, the culprit blamed is not the upstart but some structural issue...
"The angst and trauma suffered by the media industry when dealing with what could be seen as a trivial change in the encoding of content [i.e. from analog to digital] are the stuff of lore and legend. Moving to apps could be even more troubling. Mainly because there is already a distribution channel in place. And it's owned by a set of companies whose motives and business models are completely different."

It's like, this is the brain and all of the organs "hang-out"
To justify buying a Mac Pro, it helps to have a job that calls for the Mac Pro's kind of horsepower — like 4K video editing. And to have software that exploits its multicore processor and those high-speed graphics processors. And to have add-ons with Thunderbolt connectors. And to work at a company that uses centralized storage.
Fortunately, all of that will start coming faster now. That is, the future imagined by the Mac Pro will arrive sooner because of the Mac Pro. In the end, the Mac Pro isn't just a shiny cylinder that's built for the future; it's also a nifty bit of self-fulfilling prophecy.
