Being first is not enough


Why Apple gets the credit

"However, it's really rather pointless to try to establish an inventor of desktop widgets, search, bookmarks, windows, and backups. In many cases, its not the first idea that matters, but rather the first good implementation. Apple can in many cases claim credit for delivering the first usable instance of many technologies, and often the most elegant."
— Daniel Eran, WWDC Secrets Paul Thurott Hopes You Miss, August 11, 2006

Only too true. While Apple does do their share of innovation, the company has built their business on just making it work elegantly.
