Panic's "Graduate from iTunes" banner ad campaign for Audion is a great example of trying for the pro/hardcore market when Apple has entered your space. Specifically, it's a great example of how it is very very hard to make it work out for

Android handset makers aren't competing with each other? Even if they aren't right now, or if Android is the one thing they don't publicly compete over, that will change. If the iOS slice of the pie shrinks enough at the expense of the Andr

Only Google has the capability to "beat Apple" in the OS/platform game in the context of Android as a platform. Any handset maker has the potential to "beat Apple" by making a handset that outsells the iPhone. You can beat the iPhone withou

Is there a single Android handset that competes with the iPhone in terms of units, or is it "Android collectively beats iPad and iPhone collectively?" I think Kottke was referring to specific one off products like the iphone itself. Google

Mm was nearly fully Sony-funded pre buyout. Sony put a lot in to start that studio and also published LBP1, so it's not horribly surprising that they acquired them once it was revealed that Mm would be more than an indie fluke of a business

I remember that thing. I'd forgotten about the HP iPod though! The only cross-branded product from that era still thats really left is the Nike+ though.

Even if Apple did that, I imagine they wouldn't share co-branding prominently on the packaging/marketing, which would make it #3. How many devices have you seen in the last decade which include an Apple logo AND another manufacturer's logo?

Has the Finder been rewritten yet? That brought up a weird thought: I wonder how much SoundJam MP code is still in today's iTunes.

When Apple is good at that, I love it. It's depressing when they misstep in this arena and put something out that, below the veneer, doesn't contain much content. On the other hand, something like MacOS X itself is something my mom can use

As the article says, when the content comes to you via traditional TV, there's more money going on there than "more ads," including content and broadcast licensing agreements which bring in additional revenue.

It's not all the same people, though. I mean, maybe within HN/the tech community it's the same people, but I know plenty of people who didn't regularly pirate TV (if at all) but who now watch the large majority of their TV content through H

This reeks of insider fear based-decision making. Within the walls of Rolodex headquarters, you figure (probably correctly) that a lot of today's young people don't know what an actual Rolodex looks like, and therefore that they won't under

That change is pretty clearly pre- and post-Jobs' return/launch of the iMac. It's kind of crazy that they've maintained such a singular focus and style for so long, especially after the painful decade of constant reinvention and flux that p

All of those points have made the Mac shareware market a viable one for decades. Something about he Mac OS seems to be less supportive of the types of system tray and popup scanning OS dominating spyware/freeware that pollutes the Windows m

Since you work in education, would you be more likely to be able to call them up and work out a custom license than a business would? I don't really know how that works, but when I was in school it seemed like tech focused educators and oth

It's always nice to be able to take a machine apart, see how it works, and put it back together successfully. Language is a tool used every day by everyone, but fewer and fewer people know how it actually works. I wish schools still taught

Wouldn't that would be pretty much entirely fixed by login-based wireless sync and cloud storage? Or are there issues with those services, too?
