This is true; and within Apple's success. I guess I see them having an incredible ability to meld things into their own.

A strategic and public investment, like Twitter, feels unlike them. Twitter seems to be the news, not Apple.

The AuthenTec acquisition, however, feels very Apple. They have a vision, they found a partner (and for some reason, acquired them). If it weren't for the purchase, AuthenTec would still be unknown to me.

The biometric integration will be, bar none, an Apple event.
