Suggesting that Steve Jobs leave his position at Apple is enough to rouse the wrath of the faithful, even though he was kicked out of the company once before. But no matter what good he may have done the company since his return, recently emerging behavior makes it clear that it is time for Jobs to find his fourth act after Apple, NeXT, and Pixar so he stops endangering the business that he built.
Apparently I haven't been the only one considering what the real state of the so-called link economy might be. Consultant and blogger Jeff Jarvis thinks that Arnon Mishkin's post about fallacies in the theory of the link economy is riddled with problems itself. I would agree with him somewhat, but find that Jarvis and Mishkin both suffer from a common malady, as do, I find, the "old" versus "new" camps when it comes to business on the Internet: an over investment in an existing point of view.
I've certainly been none too easy on the Associated Press's apparent intent on charging people for quoting as few as five words -- and the organization's refusal to discuss the topic as it's "done" talking. Makes me think of certain White House administrations. However, absurdities and legal considerations aside, there is a basic reality of the web that has been making the AP and many other media companies go completely nuts. It's that the assumptions of how the business of the link economy work are badly flawed.
Putting together the Microsoft-Nokia alliance announced last week with Gartner's new figures on the smartphone market, and you would think the entire device world revolves around Nokia's focus on keeping runner-up Research in Motion at bay. And at first glance, you'd be right. The alliance does a...
Netflix, Redbox (part of Coinstar), and Blockbuster recently have been at it tooth and nail, working to lock in video rental customers while getting into downloading, all the time trying to stay into business. And in the process, all three are reenacting an old business scenario: try to undercut each other, even if you take a loss, until you get rid of the competitors. And that isn't easy on any of them. For today, though, let's look at Netflix.
Although a number of companies, including Sony, have been in the e-book reader business for a while, Amazon really seems to have taken the category by storm, at least in terms of buzz, even though Sony has been moving a fair number of units -- witness the Forrester report that estimated 600,000 read...
It's been a tough few months for Twitter and its users, as the social network service has been downed by several outages in recent weeks, dismissed as irrelevant by David Letterman and been used as the basis for a lawsuit by a landlord. But the biggest danger facing Twitter, other than the scale ...
Contrary to several reports, i4i's patent suit against Microsoft's infringing use of "custom XML" won't affect the Open Document format. The patent that i4i is protecting with its suit is a process for separating content and meta-data in different silos â€" something that Microsoft does with it...
As I mentioned last night, as part of a patent infringement suit that was brought by i4i, a federal judge has issued an injunction preventing Microsoft from selling Word. But this isn't an issue just for Microsoft, and the implications could be wide spread, should i4i ultimately prevail.
Microsoft has announced that its would-be iTouch killer is now available for order, and the expected retail prices are aggressive. The units are going to be available for early ordering from Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon.com, and direct from Microsoft. Pricing is pretty aggressive. The 16GB model will ...
The mind-numbing number of lawsuits filed by so-called patent trolls has inured us to the consequences of patent suits that actually have merit. But despite the fact that i4i filed its suit against Microsoft in a district known to lawyers as "rocket docket" because of the speed and likelihood of win...
When my colleague Michael Hickins called, getting me to break away from some writing, and told me that the district court in the eastern Texas district granted a permanent injunction barring Microsoft from selling Word, I was sure he was kidding. Apparently not. In the patent infringement lawsuit that i4i brought against Microsoft in the Eastern District of Texas, a court considered -friendly to plaintiffs in patent cases, Judge Leonard Davis issued the following permanent injunction:
Loudon Owen, chairman of collaboration software vendor i4i, which was just awarded an injunction barring Microsoft from selling Word 2003 or Word 2007, told me his company has "no intention of trying to stop Microsoft from selling Word." That's kind of funny, because that would seem to be the imm...
Ian Paul at PCWorld had a great catch yesterday with pricing for the new Microsoft Zune HD media player appearing briefly on Amazon. Depending on the model, the price may be $70 to $100 less than a comparable Apple iTouch. Maybe the price was a mistake, but I'm thinking maybe not. And that got me wo...
Google is one of those companies that markets by use. It gets more ad dollar share because people use the search engine more than others. Pretty simple, and helps control costs. But although that has worked in the core business, the company has assumed that it will work the same way in everything, i...
