Apple touted LP as a way to package extras with Albums. It is a nice thought but what if they have plans beyound that?

Some have suggested it is a back door into the E-Book world which is an interesting idea. Today I see that a comic has already been released in this format. It is like innovation has started before the format has had a week to breath. Further it has already sparked ideas in my mind.

So yeah more crap to Jack up the price of a song, that we don't need. The potential is there for much more though. It will be interesting to see how this pans out.

Again this is exactly the attitude that has hurt corporate America and our ability to compete. Deny that the competition has a viable and compelling product and shoot the messager. In any event go ahead and maintain your attitude, see how it benefits you in the long term.

As a side note I don't see this as Balmer flying off the handle. On the contrary it looks like somebody that is quick thinking leveraging an opportunity that came his way in a funny way. Or as somebody else suggested the happening was staged.


Dave

Dave, honestly, do you believe what you've just said?

I'm not going to defend corporate America. But if you don't believe in the company that pays your wages, why should they believe in you? Maybe the individual is involved in the development of win mobile. Which begs the question, 'why aren't you making our products better?' If I was an employer and saw that I would wonder if the individual was passionate enough about our business to be a part of its future. I really doubt that employees that aren't passionate about the company they work for do a very good job.

I don't know if the guy will get fired, I hope not, or if the whole event was staged. But if it wasn't and that was a genuine expression of anger on Ballmer's part I suspect that if he isn't fired it'll probably affect his ability to get promoted or affect his salary increases in the future. It may not be right but that's the way it works.

But this was at a MS corporate function. What does it say about MS products when their employees show up at functions or in public with competitor's products? People aren't stupid. If MS won't eat their own cooking why should they? I certainly wouldn't.

That's why it was stupid for Ballmer to draw attention to it IMO.

I see it as a spin on all the concessions Apple had to make to renew their download music licensing agreement and secure the mobile (over-the-air) music licensing agreement (which was not part of the original agreement). Apple didn't want tiered pricing, they didn't want all this other stuff, but now that they have to sell it ... Personally I think Apple hopes this dies an early death. Jobs fought for so long for 99 cents a song, I can't imagine they're too ecstatic about catering to the music industry's every idea for increasing their own revenue.

Or, maybe he only makes the right decision half the time.

Of course, he may be smarter than I think. If he were fired and wasn't compensated appropriately, it would make one hell of a wrongful termination case.

I guess that was just Apple and myself who insisted on 99 cents a song (no exceptions) and albums have to be available as individual song downloads. This new push to sell "extras" is what the music industry insisted Apple allow in order to renew their licensing agreements (along with tiered pricing, which Jobs was dead-set against). Its a way to get AROUND Apple's pricing policy (which is now tiered thanks to said music industry). This is a single song being sold for $1.99 as an "Album" on iTunes, and a lot of people seem to be all for it. This is the music industry's idea of "how we can make some more money", not Apple's idea of "let's give the people what they want".

Now, that's even more wrong. The music industry is not supporting "iTunes LP" and they have not asked for it. Just the opposite; they are working on a competing "value-added" format on their own. People have been asking Apple for "extras" all the time: full liner notes, lyrics, videos, etc. and also for extras with movie downloads. Just because you do not want it, it does not mean they are not "giving the people what they want". If you do not comprehend that the "song" described in the article contains tons more content and value than a single song, it looks a bit like making your point is more important than facts? Hint: You can buy the same song without the extras for 99 cents in the same store. Big deal.

Agreed - I just don't see this as a big deal. I doubt Ballmer actually cares - sounds like he was just using it as a funny off-the-cuff way to rally the troops a little - get some boos.

Not only that, Apple themselves used Windows Mobile based devices in their own stores. What did you way about eating your own cooking?

I didn't say it would be acceptable to fire them. But in corporate America, and in Japan I suspect, its not uncommon. And to clear, I think it was poor judgement on both Ballmer and the employees part. The employee should be discreet about using a competitors product and Ballmer shouldn't have made a big display out of the iPhone. He only brought unnecessary attention to MS employees using iPhones.

And funny you bring up the Win Mobile devices and their use in Apple stores. Seems like we had a thread on that and that many felt it was important for Apple to develop a POS product so Apple wouldn't need the Win Mobile devices.

PS. Apple gave all their employees an iPhone in 07. While it was a generous act, I suspect it was also a subtle message to the employees. We going to eat our cooking.

Steve B. -

Microsoft needs to embrace the iPhone and iPod rather than mock it and treat it like dirt.

Microsoft has failed with Zune and though they may try again with Zune II, the iPod and iTunes are the clear market leaders by a very large margin. Though MS has a large presence with Windows Mobile on other phones, consumers make the choice that is most desirable for them.

The App Store has been used 1.8 billion times so far to download software applications to the iPhone and iPod touch, many of which come with a price. There are at present, 65,000 applications in the App Store ... yet the largest software company on the planet authors just 2 of those (both free).

I suspect you will likely continue to act like a big baby and fake stomp an iPhone on stage from time to time, but that won't get people to buy, use, and love Microsoft products.

really? seriously, you think it's all the little guys fault at MS that Microsoft cannot come out with a product that draws people to want to buy? Maybe the employee does have the passion, does have the creativity and it's MS management that says no you will do it this way when they come out with a non-stellar product in the end. Yahhh! let's blame the little guys instead of upper managment where all those decisions are made.

I would know because I work for a place that's exactly like that. It makes no difference how passionate, creative, or drive you have. They control all your decisions and force you to conform their way and believe me that is most of the problem at Microsoft today. They are too big to change and too big to listen to their own people.

Actually you know nothing because that employee will not get fired, since it would make too much bad press. he will probably have an asterisk against his name in his HR file and promotions will be very hard or be transferred to similar level position, but very boring and cause him to leave.

Firing an employee, after high level news publicity is last thing to happen.

Your comment had nothing to do with big bad corporate world, but your own views, which I agree were not nice.

MS do not make mobile phones, their make the software for the phones, so Bald Eagle drawing attention to the guys iphone was very silly.
Especially since I know for a fact that a lot of MS senior employees use Blackberrys, that does not run MS software.

Steve Bald Eagle I agree was very stupid to focus on that employee's iphone, since it shows, he has a big resentment to Apple.

Microsoft's employees are mostly geeks and therefore a huge amount of them have iPhones. It's not uncommon at all for an employee to show up at an event with one.

This is just Balmer aping for the crowd as usual. It was probably a calculated PR move on his part as if not for this, no one would be talking about the event. As it is I've seen this on five sites already and there is probably a YouTube video as well.

"Ballmer grabbed the Apple device from the employee and made some funny remarks as everyone booed," he said. "Then he put it on the ground and pretended to stomp on it, before walking away."

Ballmer reportedly teased the employee again later during his presentation. Bishop noted that one Microsoft employee remarked on Twitter: "You just don't pick up the CEO of Chevy in a BMW."

While those in attendance said the moment was all in good fun, Ballmer has made his share of inflammatory remarks about the iPhone in the past. However, since the iPhone has proven successful for Apple, Ballmer has softened his remarks.

hasn't softened it too much.

then again this guy does work with Kevin

He's lucky if he's able to keep his job. Especially now when times are difficult and talented people are without jobs.

it should only be a problem if there is some clause in his employment contract that says that he can only use software and hardware created by his employer. Otherwise it is his right to use what he wants.

and without that clause there is no way that having an iphone, blackberry etc would pass as a legit reason to fire someone.

no the point of itunes was to be able to buy music without the added step of having to rip it to your computer to put it on your ipod. with the added bonus of many albums being cheaper than buying a CD, being able to get only the songs you really want and less clutter from not having stacks of CD around
