"Swat Teams" of vetted talent to handle the most prized assets and initiatives. Let the cruft keep up day to day, apply proven talent to the most important initiatives piece by piece. ie. Apple and the iMac, then iPod, iBook, iWorks, Fina

Google has algorithms, Yahoo! should have editors and journalists. For all these attempts to "fix" Yahoo! never once a new message, advertising campaign, real brand refresh other than a minor logo and homepage refresh. I'm talking the new

The American battle rifles aren't a weakness, they serve their purpose well. The military should be focused on things like IED detection, preventing brain damage from concussive force, battlefield intelligence, social programs (hearts and

After slashing R&D and giving Microsoft the keys to the kingdom (search) you want to give her more time to gut Yahoo? No way. And I don't take being a consensus builder means lacking vision, it means you get the team on board as oppose

Aren't we missing the point a bit my singling out Samsung? This problem is much more pandemic to Android as a whole. What happened to the Android Update Alliance? What percentage of iPhones are compatible and upgradeable to iOS 5 release

Sorry if I came off that way. I am confident in my abilities to create awesome interfaces but I still have a lot to learn and a lot of time/practice to put in. My original comment was meant to be from the viewpoint of a "desingineer". I k

Looks pretty good. I am a UI/UX designer and would love to help out for free to boost my portfolio. A few ideas.. Center large gear image on icon, move smaller to right a bit and reduce in size. Smooth out banding a bit on metal texture

Apple can basically drive a majority of that TV for $99. What the Apple TV really shows is a complete iOS platform available at that price point. I doubt Sony/Samsung/LG and the like are that efficient.

It's also much easier for the skills of a developer to become commoditized for many of the same reasons. When what is needed and delivered is so easily quantified, it is also easier to find another provider of said services. What makes a s

Siri is beta, and throwing a couple million users (iPhone 4S buyers) at the servers that support it is a pretty good sample size for testing a beta. Give it time.
