Magazine and Newspaper publishers have wild and crazy ideas about pricing. They just don't get it. They really don't. They're trying to force an obsolete business model onto the Internet. It isn't going to work. Not now. Not ever. iPad or no iPad. …

RIM has to be the short of the century.

Greed was the major stumbling block that tripped up the music publishers. Greed is now the major stumbling block for the magazine and book publishers. Apple's genius was to charge just $1 per song for music. Publishers wanted to sell whole albums…

The guy is to complete buffoon. I think I'd rather be waterboarded that have to watch his pathetic TV show.

Oh what a surprise. The carriers didn't know data was coming to the Internet. They didn't know about video. The were caught short of capacity and it's a complete surprise to them. How funny! Meanwhile Comcast, AT&T, and the others try …

Bewkes elevator doesn't go all the way to the top floor. 99 cents is too expensive for something you can get free with your DVR. Correction. Something you've already bought and paid for with your subscription to Comcast (or another ISP). A…

Microsoft is so over and done. Stick a fork in them.

A few weeks ago a friend bought an iPhone and asked me for help getting up to speed with iTunes, installing Apps, and using his iPhone. He had a brand new Dell Latitude laptop that had about a 15" display and was reportedly loaded. The first …

I did upgrade to the last version (Office 2008 for Mac) but find that I only use these apps to view old files. For new projects I use the Apple iWork apps. I?m not planning to upgrade this time around. Too expensive for software that isn?t used much…

These publishers are trying to move their print business mode, which doesn't work, over to digital, where it also will not work. They're going about it ass-backwards. They should be selling individual articles for pennies rather than entire editi…

I might consider buying if it was 99 cents for a one year subscription. Per issue pricing is absurd and ridiculous. My reaction: Surely you jest. No one in their right mind is going to pay these prices on a per issue basis. Get over it. The iPad …

I think both of these companies have their customer's interests in mind. Apple's customers are the folks who own iPhones, iPod Touches, and iPads. Apple wants to give them the best possible user experience. That means decoding videos in hardware …

I've seen that same sort of backward thinking with manufacturers who resist having their products sold on the Internet in such venues as Amazon and eBay. They fear that they'll upset their traditional brick and mortar storefront dealers. Some are so…

This is an entirely new category midway between a computer and a smart phone. It's not intended to replace your computer. In fact, the iPad is designed to sync with your computer via iTunes on either your Mac or Windows computer. Apple's betting…

Oh Yea! None of their touch screen phones are iPhone knock-offs. HTC didn't copy a thing from Apple. Every feature in those phones, including the Nexus One, is entirely original. They didn't even look at the iPhone when coming up with their innovati…

iPhone sales averaged about 13,300 per day during the first three months. They escalated to about 24,000 per day in the second quarter when international sales came into the picture. If the iPad can exceed or come close to iPhone launch numbers t…

Why would anyone want to purchase an entire album by a no talent group like Pink Floyd? As I recall they've had zero good songs and one passable average song (the Wall) in their entire history. They're nothing like the Beatles who had nothing bu…

As Steve Jobs stated in the iPad intro presentation, Apple is already the world's largest mobile devices company in revenue $$ when you roll together computers, iPods, and iPhones. Apple wants to achieve superior battery life for a high level o…
