Apple, Bellagio Comparison

This is an interesting article about why Apple will continue winning. However, I think he cuts his analogy slightly short. With Steve Jobs gone, what is going to drive Apple to uphold its amazing service and continue growing its loyal customer base? Stock holders? I don't think so.

Why Scott Bell doesn't make the connection between the absence of Wynn at the Bellagio and the absence of Jobs (much more recent) at Apple, beats the hell out of me. It's not mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if someone at Apple started to cut corners.

And, I wouldn't be surprised if the fervent loyalty begins to die off (perhaps slowly) now that Apple's religious leader is dead.
