I don't think anything has changed at Apple, or that Schiller was being unusually critical of Android. What has changed is the perception that Apple is "beleaguered"-- or rather, after a relatively brief period where Apple was making so mu…

Good lord, this thread gets entirely hijacked by some gratingly specious parsing of Gruber's "perks"? The topic was Samsung's massive and lurid ad spending, as of late. We could talk about how that makes all of Samsung's customers "sheeple"…

So then MPEG-LA has granted terms to Google for VP8 similar to what they have worked out for H.264-- free forever. So then why do we need VP8, again? Wasn't the idea that H.264 was "patent encumbered", and it didn't matter what MPEG-LA said…

Again, it sort of depends on the magnitude of the behavior. If I was somewhat callow and lacked empathy 15 years ago and life has taught me compassion, then sure, I would hate to be held to that. OTOH, if 15 years ago I was into violent street c…

Still don't understand why "business" is some special provenance of human activity that apparently gets a pass if you **** people over. "Dog eat dog" is an expedient phrase to normalize this idea, it's not some fundamental principal or moral phil…

I know it gets cited all the time, but it might be worth it to take another look at the famous "Ballmer laughs at the iPhone" video. He dismisses the iPhone because it's too expensive and doesn't have a keyboard (so it's not "a good business…

As has been mentioned, talk of MS being slow to respond or a bit late to innovate or failing to capitalize on an early lead are wildly off the mark. The fact is, the iPhone might have well as been a completely different product category from Wind…

In what sense are the cited analysts "insiders"? They're the same people with terrible tracks records that repackage rumor and dubious "supply chain checks" that we've been hearing from forever, and they're almost never right. They have to…
