GoPro
GoPro · 2002
GoPro is a hardware product line defined by physical constraints and use-case discipline—not AI, cloud, or ecosystem. Its value lies in solving one narrow problem exceptionally well: rugged, wide-angle, first-person video capture. Its evolution from 35mm film to digital HD reflects adaptation—not disruption.

Silicon Graphics
Silicon Graphics · 1981
Silicon Graphics built the first practical hardware-accelerated 3D graphics systems. Its Geometry Engine — designed at Stanford under ARPA — delivered ~6 million geometry operations per second. It pioneered scalable cc-NUMA architectures in the mid-1990s. But its reliance on proprietary MIPS and failed transitions to Itanium and Xeon eroded its position as PC graphics commoditised. It filed for bankruptcy in 2009.
