Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

October 6, 2011

I’ve owned and used Apple’s products for a very long time. In my last year of college, I built my first computer, an Apple II+ clone – sourcing and soldering all the individual components, circuit board, cabinet, keyboard, and it ran on Apple’s OS. That of course, endeared me to Apple early on. Of course, [...]

Beatles For Sale

November 16, 2010

in Marketing,Media,Technology

The availability of Beatles tracks and albums in iTunes is, understatedly, long overdue. The standoff and speculation has been documented endlessly elsewhere, as have the specific issues that have existed between Apple Computer (now Apple Inc. and Apple Corp. I’ll add a couple of points to the stories. Back in the early days of digital [...]

Looking back – looking ahead

July 2, 2010

in Application Development,Marketing,Media,Sports,Technology

Looking back I seldom look back on a week, preferring to always look ahead to the next week. Even rarer are the occasions when I would allow the occurrences to coalesce into a posting, but in the technology world, a lot has happened – one event was substantial in scale, others… smaller but portending the [...]

Innovation + Marketing

June 3, 2010

in Application Development,Marketing,Media,Technology

I think constantly about these two business fundamentals. When all facets of a business – operational, financial, product development or innovation and marketing are distilled to the most valuable assets, in the end I believe the essence is found in Innovation and Marketing.

I was buried in a project yesterday and didn’t come up for air until late at night, when I realized it was April 12th – the day MSFT was set to reveal their new mobile devices. From the few things I’ve seen so far, it looks like the reviews were written before the products were [...]

iPad – yes, it really is great!

April 6, 2010

in Marketing,Media,Technology

I’ve had some time to explore the competencies and potential of my iPad, since its delivery on Saturday. For me, at least, it’s already a game or habit changing device. Like any connected person, I’m not at a loss for screens in my life, but iPad has extended my screen time and opened up new opportunities [...]

March 31, 2010

in Media,Technology

As the days and hours count down to the launch date of Apple’s iPad, there is no end to the forecasts on pre-launch, Q2, and 2010 sales etc. of the device. Speculation aside, there is a palpable excitement and anticipation which finds its precedent only in the June 2007 launch of the iPhone. I’m not [...]

625.4%

July 22, 2009

in Technology

Apple’s Q3 results were announced after the market close yesterday. For a company that traditionally softpedals its projections, this was a blowout quarter for 3 reasons. 1. We were in a recession at the start of the quarter and 2. We were in a recession at the end of the quarter and 3. The days [...]

Now it’s really the Information Age

June 2, 2009

in Technology

It’s been intriguing following the long expected bankruptcy of GM today. While the coverage has been substantial… there is no doubt the long decline and demise breakup of a 100 year old icon of industrial power, with the continued destruction of Americans’ livelihood from fallout of GM and it’s vast supply system, makes June 1, [...]
