An interesting bit of ancient history (2008), tells how Apple missed an opportunity to purchase the technology that is currently named Kinect by Microsoft.
One would claim that people in Apple were getting to rigid for their own good, but considering the work done in Apple at the time on the iPad, it is probably an example of an old principle: you can't do everything in the same quality. Focus, as a key to success, means there will be failures and mishaps and bad decisions.
At least for now, it seems that Apple's focus was better in those years than Microsoft. Will the future prove that Kinect was such a great miss? or was Apple's focus the better one?
Only time will tell...
