074 Dana Blankenhorn – What We Got Wrong About Apple

Dana Blankenhorn has been a tech journalist for forty years and knows the industry well. He recently wrote an article about how Apple surprised investors with their capital outlay and success in cloud computing.

In this interview we discus why cloud matters and how Apple is winning.

Of course, talking to Dana about tech is like opening a fire hydrant (in a good way!). He has so much to share and has a unique ability to express it in understandable and enjoyable ways.
