John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple who allegedly—and infamously—participated in the ousting of demi-god Steve Jobs ( which I wrote about here ) was recently in India promoting his new line of smartphones aimed at the developing world, specifically markets like India.

Sculley had one interesting comment (about Apple) and one revelation both in his interview with the Economic Times.

This is after all both the fastest growing smartphone market in the world and the largest in terms of volume, with a 1.2 billion population and an 18 percent smartphone penetration rate.

Yet, Apple has a negligibleset of genes. In the same location of jellyfish embryos, however, there are genes strikingly similar to the mouth genes of bilaterians. In the sea urchin, a bilaterian, these same mouth genes are also on the top of the embryo. However, disheveled has moved to the bottom. The blastopore forms at this new site of disheveled accumulation, rather than at the mouth. The mouth genes that remain on top still direct the formation of the mouth there. Martindale and Hejnol posit that moving disheveled from the top to the bottom of the embryo in some animals moved the location of blastopore, but that the mouth stayed put. In some bilaterians, like urchins and humans, the blastopore then became the anus. In this scenario all mouths are homologous to
