Agreed. There is purposeful ambiguity going on whenever 'activations' are mentioned.

I'm not sure I follow. You mean that when you are working on something, you just shut down the application to close all your open files? BTW, the apps need to be updated to take advantage of resuming application state, so application autho

The Nook runs Android. I wonder if it counts towards 'activations'. Last quarter B&N sold ~3M Nooks, which would be ~33k activations per day. Not that huge, but the difference between 465k and 500k activations. The Nook and other ta

Funny, all the stats I've seen show a completely different trend. Example: http://www.netmarketshare.com/2010/07/01/iOS-vs-Android-in-B... UPDATE: Ahh, I see the problem. You linked to a OS market share graph, not a browsing market share

It depends. If the Chevy drivers don't buy as many accessories as the Bentley drivers do, you better believe I'll be selling to Bentley drivers. And if those Bentley drivers use their accessories more, all the better. There may be more An

Apple didn't try to play chicken. As was stated when this all happened back in 2009, Apple was perfectly willing to pay RAND licensing fees, but Nokia wanted fees + rights to Apple's touch patents. The settlement today only mentions fees b

"I don't think the 30% has ever been an issue." Seriously? The 30% on apps, the 30% on in-app purchases, 30% on subscriptions, etc., each caused an uproar when they were announced.

Seems more like an implementation detail than a "we're trying to sneak DRM back on you" thing. If the users had paid the $0.30 to upgrade the track to DRM-free, they wouldn't be getting a DRM track. When they purchased the tracks for $0.99

Just because there is wireless syncing and no need to activate with iTunes doesn't indicate that Jobs meant post-pc to mean "no pc needed". I still think post-pc means after the pc, as both Gartenberg and Gruber suggest.

Google can't go vertical no matter what because they are an advertising company. They need their ads in as many places as possible, and the only way to do that is to make sure others can use your platform pieces.

"By programming in iOS you are requiring companies to purchase expensive mac products to run your POS rather than inexpensive PC products." Lame. There will be a market for iOS/OS X POS because there are people who prefer them to "PC" prod
