Early 90s Apple was a bit like Google today, maybe. Big and ineffective at actually delivering, but with a history of innovation and illustrious past and a lot of smart people working there.

The problem with PowerPC was Motorola folded and IBM didn't have any real long term interest in the consumer PC CPU market.

So they just fell further and further behind.

Interesting. I wonder if their interview standard fell during that period (because many engineers may leave or refuse to join a dying company). Same for Google in the near future.
