Exponent Episode 007: “Growing Up” v “Hungry and Foolish”
Jun 20, 2014

There’s a bit of a consensus building post WWDC: Apple has grown up, and it’s great.
But is it great? Is it possible that something essential has been lost? After all, a lot of the praise being heaped on Apple and Tim Cook was once used for another company – Microsoft. In this episode we examine what it is that makes Apple unique, and why things might turn out different this time – and why they might not.
In addition, we discuss the end of privacy and what might be done about it.
Also! We would love it if you would rate and review this podcast on iTunes. The link is here Thanks!
