There are pros and cons to each of your points. It just so happens Apple chose almost the exact opposite when compared to Android. - portability between hardware architectures Android went with the VM solution. Apple chose fat b

You should read The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell. Monomyth is the basic pattern found in most narratives regardless of location or culture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hero_with_a_Thousand_Faces http://en.wikiped

I watched Mad Men tonight and about to catch up on Entourage. Both shows have a ridiculous amount of product placement. But the product placement works in the context of both those shows. The game changer would be interactive iAds for eac

Yup. Apple stopped supporting the Java to Cocoa bridge because developers weren't using it. It is a huge uphill battle trying to make an App written in Java look good and run with a native feel. Apple doesn't like Java on the desktop bec

1) Twitter represents the shift from the static web to the dynamic web (Web 2.0) to the real-time web. 2) "If I had asked my customers what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse." -- Henry Ford 3) It's a marketing channel for bra

It looks like it's more of a curation strategy. It looks like they want to reduce the amount of noise in the App Store by getting rid of the Free vs Paid Apps split. The first step was allowing In-App Purchase for Free Apps.

Don't believe numbers from Nielson, NPD group, Marc, Ad Mob, etc. The only real numbers are GAAP that come out of the accounting department. This is true for Old Spice, iPhone vs Android, game consoles, etc.

Hold up. Do you really need a Gantt chart? Would a graph built in Excel/Numbers/GDocs be a better solution? Maybe a burn down chart. I have never found Gantt charts all that useful.

I think you should attempt to understand the culture before being sarcastic. Most people don't own cars and don't drive in India. Getting a driver in India is more like getting a ZipCar for the afternoon here in North America.

Probably MobileMe and iWork.com. The new version of iDisk on the iPhone streams music. I'm guessing second half of 2010 will be a big cloud push.

The makers of things are the makers of rules. Wordpress gets to decide what license to use. Wordpress gets to define what is derivative. It's their project they get to do whatever they like. There is no point in arguing what is derivative

IntenseDebate or Disqus should go with this model and then let me relax commenting moderation on my blog for paid commenters. It could possibly save me a ton of moderating effort.

They are basing their guess on stats from AdMob. Everyone, say it with me: Ad traffic does not equal web traffic. Web traffic does not equal market share. Market share does not equal revenue.

My takeaway was that they managed dilution so that they could guide the product and the company the way they felt was important. Managing VCs well allowed Google to manage the product well. Interesting thought experiment: Would Zappos hav

Market share does not matter. Revenue matters. Apple is diversified across multiple revenue streams. Google relies on advertising for it's revenue. Apple is being pretty gangster in shipping iAds and attacking Google where it would hurt

C++ iterators, being a jumble of related concepts, have separate plus and minus points. (I can't read the original article since it's 403 at the moment.) The big concept of iterators in C++ is that they are the abstraction that connects
