When I was 10 I visited my uncle’s factory in Michigan. He sat me down in front of an Apple II and fired up a video game. As I played Castle, I noticed the manual for the Applesoft programming language sitting next to the computer. I cracke

People have to get it out of their heads that Amazon believes it will make serious coin on selling the devices. The estimates of how much the Fire cost to make are hugely speculative and do not account for a bunch of other Amazon's costs, s

This article is just crazy talk. Amazon is not a device company, has never been a device company, and has no intention of becoming a device company. It would only acquire a boat anchor like webOS if it had no reasonable alternative (and ev

I have been saying since G+ was launched that w/in 9 months Google will rename it Google. It will stop existing as a separate brand. It is too important to Google to own the social graph and keep FB at bay for them to do otherwise.

I'll give Jeff the benefit of the doubt and assume he mis-spoke and is not actually wrong :-). As with any taxonomy (or tool) one can over analyze.

Isn't it exactly the answer that finally clarifies the idea vs. execution debate? I don't think this provides the definitive answer to anything. It think it is just a very good taxonomy that people can use to be more clear in thei

While I agree with Sriram's overall point in this post, I think your comment shows there is another point Sriram is making (but not explicitly): Have a plan, but know that no plan survives first contact with the enemy. Planning/str

I don't know much about MobileWorks other than spending 5 minutes browsing the website. But it does not appear to be a platform to me. It is a service. The value of the service is connecting developers to armies of humans who can do manua

I think this article is poorly named. If it were titled "Your API must be Compelling" it would make sense (but only as much as "if the sun is up it's daytime" makes sense). The term platform is way overused and poorly understood. When I thi
