Amazing.
Apple is outperforming the competition by such a huge margin that UBS is taking Apple out of the S&P 500 to get a more accurate picture of the tech market.
The results are striking: For all the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, earnings are on track to post a 6.6% year-on-year rise in the fourth quarter. Once Apple’s earnings are factored out, the expected fourth-quarter gain shrivels to just 2.8%, according to UBS.

In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle.
But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genius.
Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra — their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.
Average is over.

An Important Time for Design
It’s becoming increasingly difficult to ignore the fact that design has a massive role to play in the evolution of the web and the next generation of web products.
I love the sentiment here, but I think this goes beyond just “designing cool shit.”
It is partnering technology with someone that understands how people think. How to make something meaningful, that maybe, maybe, maybe changes their lives.
I used to think that all relationships need the kind of violent shove that a crush brings, just to get you started and to push you over the humps. And then, when the energy from that shove has gone and you come to something approaching a halt, you have to look around and see what you’ve got. It could be something completely different, it could be something roughly the same, but gentler and calmer, or it could be nothing at all.
