Re: Apple<p>I don’t see how any of these are to be considered a “product”, especially since they can’t be purchased or acquired in any way apart from some actual product:<p><pre><code> * Touch ID
* Apple ID
* FairPlay
* bridgeOS
* any of the apps bundled with the OS, such as Automator or Stickies</code></pre>
Oh wow, thanks HN, within seconds of being on the front page, our site is down, cheers!<p>Checking with my web host about what to do now, but love having this problem!<p>Hope to have the site back up to share this visualization with you soon!
Is posting things under alternate accounts to boost the submission allowed? I note that user "papercuts" and user "apeconmyth" appear to be the same person posting and interacting on their company submission.
This is a really cool idea. At first I thought it was a random cloud and would benefit from organization, but then reading down saw the key.<p>The only downside is that it’s not obvious up front which area maps to what business segment, eg if I want to find “Mobile” I have to scan the cloud for things that mentally match to that (eg Android, iOS).<p>It does make the comparison of products in each area clear though, by virtue of density, but not what the area represents.
Really nice! Please make one for their products graveyard, ie:<p><a href="https://killedbygoogle.com/" rel="nofollow">https://killedbygoogle.com/</a>

Before we drop off the front page, I just wanted to say thanks again to the HN community for an amazing day!<p>I was very nervous about sharing here... but while this viz is part of a book meant for a lay-consumer audience, it was written with the goal of being able to withstand the general scrutiny of the Hacker News crowd... so thanks for taking a look and sharing your thoughts and comments!
