Girl Wars: iMob Swaps Its Guns For High Heels

- bitwize 18y agoLike, ohmigod! I must totally show this to Becky, Tiffany, and Amber!
- patio11 18y agoJokes like this make me viscerally angry. 1) There are groups of customers out there who are not the technically adept 15 to 34 year old males who are in the comfort zone of the vast majority of startups. 2) Their needs, wants, and, yes, trivial whims create legitimate markets to satisfy, no less than World of Warcraft, the latest $1 iPhone sensation, AWS, or any random CRUD app. 3) It is profitable to satisfy them, because they pay money for our products. 4) Mockery of these segments functions as a perverse sort of social discipline, which hurts diversity in our industry (which I could, frankly, not care less about) and costs us money and profitable opportunities (which I care about quite keenly).

- teej 18y agoMy "tween sister" worked her ass off and paid for her own damn iphone, thank you.
