I totally agree. I'm making a more subtle point, one that's about this thread, not about the news story. People are suggesting that this person is being fired to take the fall for the maps app; that he's a kind of sacrificial lamb. Companies like Apple don't sacrifice their lambs during the holiday season, is what I'm saying.



Agree. Of course, we should always consider the possibility that Apple is not acting rationally.

Interstingly, my wife said I was talking in my sleep this morning when she woke me up:

Me: "Are they going to sacrifice the goat?"

Wife: "No, but you need to get up."

Me: "No goat?"

Wife: "No, but we still need to leave soon."

Me: "Oh, I was hoping the goat was going to save us."

Wife: "No, we're on our own."

Apparently I then insisted that I was continuing a conversation I heard her having with the kids.
