The Arctic Suicides: It's Not the Dark That Kills You
If you haven't read "The Tipping Point," it also talks about this same issue and is all around a great read.

iCloud’s Real Purpose is to Kill Windows
I think you would see this pattern with every hugely successful company. Microsoft took the work that happened in the 70s to make personal computing possible and developed a business around it at the point it was ready for huge growth.It is rarely good for a startup to be on the absolute bleeding edge of an industry, but if you can catch the tipping point[0] (and execute well), you have pretty much guaranteed success.

Ask HN: What are the best books on startups?

⬐ joshbertI respectfully disagree. I find Gladwell's books to be somewhat unsubstantial.Instead I would recommend that you read Steve Blank's "4 Steps To The Epiphany." Also, I picked up "Do More Faster" recently on recommendation from a previous thread, which I found fascinating. There's some great advice within both books.
