Pretty obvious though necessary statement it seems. None of the 'i' products have ever been about technology and Steve Jobs was never a innovator. It's all about design and consumer behavior, starting with iTunes and ending with iTunes.

Ugh, this could really be just a huge misunderstanding. I wouldn't be surprised if Livedrive comes back with the explanation that they closed all the accounts, and is refunding backify as per their conversation.

IBM and Oracle are the champions of the world when it comes to selling ultra customized supply chain and communication systems to Top-500 companies.

I used to run a BBS in my teens (USR 2.400 -> USR 56k modems -> ISDN) and can still hear exactly where in the handshake a connection fails. It's my only super power :(

I would invest long term in groupon over my own dead body. $13 BILLION valuation for a company that took in $900 million+ and dumped 90% to founders while heavily in the red? Yeah, seems like a great investment.

I don't really understand how this video in any way explains how they got their first 10 million users. Seems like a the standard straightforward plug for a ycombinator company on TC that we have gotten used to.

I can't concentrate on the 'Who win's' issue. All I can do is shake my head at the fact that there are US schools that have access to BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, while others are broke.

In my opinion there has been an endless stream of attempts at selling 'security' and privacy as a stand-alone product to end users with little success. The key to successful security is to sell security focused products that seamlessly inte

In Sweden the RIAA/MPAA has been deeply involved in dictating copyright legislation and using the police as their private enforcement agency for years. Not even a secret.

Hey Cloudant! Remember that time you first read about IBM supplying the database system that the Nazi regime used to effectively carry out genocide? Yeah, that's you now.

Calling Monsanto 'ethically ambiguous' is akin to describing Hitler as a 'colorful leader with sporadic public relations issues'.

If I'm not mistaken, this type of SEO white-noise is exactly what Google work yo stop. It's just search engine spam for profit; No hands on work, just a script that targets search engine results and creates 'dumb content' to farm visits.

I would argue that this is an approach that works only in mature consumer products. Ask a 50+ iPad/iPhone owner what they love about their smart phone or tablet and you will find that ease of use, ease of seeing and low threshold of underst

TIL; Arguing the reality that Apple 'might' not be an altruistic entity set on selflessly improving the quality of the world can cause some 'fans' to get very, very sad and pissy.

1 right, does not cancel out 1 wrong. I absolutely agree with the fact that Apple now and then comes to the aid of 'independent developers'. You have to realize though that these 'independent developers' are always the bread and butter that

I agree. Also no need to categorically defend Apple just because you happen to be a fan of their products, former CEO etc. I know Apple, and especially Steve Jobs (RIP) cannot do anything wrong. But seriously, what evidence is there that Ap

I think it's pretty well proven that no matter previous patents; the deepest pockets, win's the most lawsuits.

Why would I need to nit-pick patent legislation or ownership to express the opinion that the business model adopted by apple is counter productive, and a fucking joke when you compare their current business model to their 'change the world'

These tactics seriously make me wonder why everyone is treating Steve Jobs (yes, his death is sad of course) like some kind of Oracle? Apple has over the last 5 years, become EXACTLY what they were making fun of in their first famous commer

There is business, then there is bad business, and then there is scum. These guys fall firmly into category 3.
