And I got the scar tissue to prove it. And I know that it’s the case. And as we have tried to come up with a strategy and a vision for Apple, it started with “What incredible benefits can we give to the customer? Where can we take the customer?” Not starting with “Let’s sit down with the engineers and figure out what awesome technology we have and then how are we going to market that?” And I think that’s the right path to take."16:31 - Are there really credible alternatives to Facebook or Linkedin?
