Today's Above Avalon Daily update includes the following topics:

Apple’s 50th Anniversary Is Approaching
Tim Cook’s Apple 50th Anniversary Letter
Thoughts on Apple’s Anniversary Events

With an open question as to how Apple would approach the 50th anniversary of its founding (April 1st, 1976), we began to get some answers last week. Today’s discussion will look at why Apple is not huge into retrospection. We then examine how such a stance impacts the company’s approach to marking its upcoming anniversary. The update includes Neil’s thoughts on Tim Cook’s “50 Years of Thinking Different” letter and Apple’s celebration plans.
