How can someone write so much about this rivalry and say nothing interesting?

My advice if you haven't read the article -- skip it.

I'm glad folks are finding this interesting. However, this is pretty much common knowledge to anyone who has taken music theory. It's usually not given a great deal of attention as most musicians using the standard 12 tone don't care much about what's going on under the hood. They're a bit like programmers who use a high level language and an IDE and don't know how a compiler or assembly works.

Just a bit funny to come across it here, it'd be a bit like finding out musicians were talking on a forum going 'wow, computer programs are written using structured text files!' or something of the like. Not trying to be rude..

Nice unintentional compliment to the platform

Wow, how flattering to Schmidt.

I'm not terribly fond of him, personally.

Not surprised that Jobs was unwilling to give up a hardware business. The profit margins might be worse but it's less volatile.
