The ads don't mention Apple or iPhone anywhere.

The company that claims to be the "Everything Store" is following through on that vision. What they will soon realize is that they are following in the footsteps of Sears. What they will learn is that trying to do everything will eventually mean t…

Love the ads, but if you watch closely there's a lot of expensive production value in those things; camera booms, stabilizers, and the still photography is definitely coming from high-end pro equipment, not an iPhone camera. It is getting to be a …

I truly find this surprising. My personal experience with Apple is that they've fessed up to problems and always taken care of customers. I've had three issues, outside of warranty, that were obvious issues and Apple took care of me each time. Th…

I worked at Blockbuster for many years. Corporate greed killed Blockbuster. Viacom looked at Blockbuster only in one way which was to milk the cash cow as long as they could. It was not always that way. When I started and we were an independent …

What is free about shipping that costs $99 a year? That is over $8 a month! Other sites have true free shipping that you don't have to pay for and the stuff may take only a day or two longer to get there than Prime. Any savings in the price of pr…

My point is I don't have Prime. I use Netflix and other services that are less expensive and usually better so have zero need for Prime. Why would I pay a $99 a year fee when faster shipping is the one and only benefit to me? I can order almost a…

I stopped buying stuff from Amazon when their free shipping slipped from 4-5 day deliver to 10-14 days because of Prime. I buy a lot of pro photo gear and have found the prices the same and the free shipping to be 2 or 3 times faster at other onlin…

Aperture is not dead yet. You can still buy it on the App Store for $79.99. After you've bought into the Adobe stuff, you'll have paid more than Aperture before 9 months have gone by. Then you'll keep paying and paying and it never stops. Not a …

Meanwhile, over at Amazon, if you're not willing to empty your pockets and pay the Prime premium you can now expect your orders to take 10-12 days. Good luck with that strategy. Oh, and they are losing money too. Sell your stock while you can.

Any attempt to assess brand value is subjective. Some data and methodology is used in an attempt to make it look scientific, but in the end it is very similar to People Magazine's Most Beautiful People Award. It is nice to be on the list but it me…

While this is very cool, it is very similar to giving your kid a Stradivarius. The Stradivarius is a very cool piece of equipment and the very best violin in the world. Let you kid play on it and see how good the music is. The iPhone is cool and …

The difference here is this: You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig. Just when you would hope that Google would pull the plug on this silly idea, they are pouring more money into it. It's like the ugly baby that the mother think…

Now that I know Apple is willing to make just about anyone a senior executive, I'm letting them know I'm available too. I know a thing or two about something that might be useful to someone someday.

Students of business finance will find this fascinating. Borrowing money to buy back shares while you still have a ton of money in the bank. I'm sure this is getting covered in many business schools that have capitalization structure on the syllab…

While this would be a step in the right direction, it is a small step and a few years too late. The file format that is today considered the best is downloading DSD files and DSD Multichannel files. If Apple did that, then they would be back out in…

This is why I'll never buy anything made by Samsung ever. Yes, it matters.
