Sure, like everything else, though. How long does something have to
last as a product to be considered "successful"?

I don't know all of their cutesy little project names, but these two
at least didn't exactly fizzle. Yes, they were discontinued eventually,
but not before being in pretty popular use. Indeed about the only Apple technologies that persist
in Mac OS X are
QuickTime and HFS+. I think it's fair to say /everything/ else is gone
now; a few backwards-compatibility traces remain.
Now I have to admit that it's been a long time since I've slept, but
this is confusing to me. There's TONS of Apple code in OS X and iOS
that could arguably be termed "Apple technologies". What, exactly, are
you talking about here? Do you mean "old" "Apple technologies", like
pre-OS X stuff?
