This week (at least when this was written), on 18 August, HP killed webOS, as well as the the Pre phones and the Touchpad tablet that ran on them. The question is there anything we can learn from this situation?

Here it comes- Ready or Not!
Ch-ch-changes. That’s the one certainty upon which we can rely.
I have always relied upon state-of-the-art (SOTA) tools. For my simulation and development efforts some 4 decades ago, my office mate was a PDP-8. Right next to it was my tape punch and Hollerith card punchers. I also had an IBM MT-ST. (This was a very fancy IBM typewriter that employed metalized cards (like Holleriths) to record and play back pages of documents.) We could edit and save documents with ease (or so I thought, compared to the rest of the world). These devices also required my office to be on the order of 400 square feet.
