How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the online Apple Store
I was in San Francisco for a friend’s wedding and a job interview, and the one day I had free I decided to finally make my pilgrimage to 1 Infinite Loop. I parked in visitor parking and walked to the company store. The place was absolutely dead, and when someone finally came to ring me up, they apologized because the site had just launched so everyone had gathered to see it go live. I may have made the last physical purchase on hallowed grounds before the online store came to life. -
You are the product if you use a Roku streamer, says company CEO
I'll admit, even with Fire Sticks and an Apple TV, our 4 y/o Roku is still our go-to device. Simple to navigate, easy to search, great little remote (even though I use a Harmony more often), and the ability to connect headphones to the remote is pure genius. I am more than happy to be a product so they can be profitable. Any advertising they do on the system isn't intrusive at all. -

How iTunes went from simple to perplexing -- and gone
I have to admit, I'm not sure having separate Mac apps for different types of media is a step in the right direction.
