I've been at single-digit startups and *500 companies and entrepreneurial role fits the bill. I'd say in some cases they are the CEO of their own business unit with capacity for setting the product direction, selecting the team and establis

I'd love to see a post from someone(s) about "What, exactly, is a great Product Manager?". I've worked with good, bad and ugly but never a great one. Either that or I wouldn't recognize a great one out of my own ignorance.

See? If you didn't know who he was or read his Apple-related articles previous to the release, you'd think the guy was no moron. Admit nothing.

Too much hassle. Start with one persona and just keep revising estimates as word comes out without mentioning it. Then obfuscate by "calling out" other experts. Nobody can be arsed to click the link you provide and wade through commentary t

You're right. It's not about one being better than the other when compared side-by-side, it's about re-enforcing a particular market segment's belief that their purchasing decision or decision to be was the correct one. Samsung, or any othe

I think it's a great move by Apple to make the 3gs seem free because it says the following: 1. 3gs owners: it's time to upgrade to the 4/4s (that's me) 2. It'll burn down existing stocks a lot faster. What was more valuable, an HP TouchPad

This is a non-starter from many angles, aside from the choice of platform/language, a choice in which they completely missed what the actual target market does and how they do it. Inconsiderate product/market fit. I wouldn't be so negative

I guess the question that I still see unanswered in my readings is why are the founders so keen to pay themselves upwards of $20M in investor cash when they've really just begun. They're not investing that cash into the company, their sweat
