Whatever webos is or isn't, Apple has created the context in which the information age dwells and into which most organizations gaze jealously from the periphery.

HP? They make a cheap and fairly reliable printer. All-in-one is handy. As an organization that satisfies customers, or can define the future? Anythings possible, right? Certainly there's the Hewlett "legacy" of fond memory. But I wouldn't bet the farm on it.

I was addressing your comment about "mediocrity".

HP does more than make printers. They also sell, among other things, more computers than any company on earth, Apple included. They have a huge piece of the enterprise, and only that kind of leverage gives them a chance to compete at this late date. Don't be such a phanboy.
