  • Ping 2.0? Apple Music revamp rumored to downplay Connect social network feature

    Yea, connect is a good idea but it didn't go far enough. I can see what the artists are up to if they post, but that's it. I can do that on Google. What Connect needs is a way to interact with other fans. It makes little difference to just post stuff that is ignored by everyone. It would be need to get discussions going because no artists is going to hop on Connect to do an impromptu AMA.

  • Employees pan Tony Fadell-led Nest as poorly managed, fear-driven machine

    I wonder if people are taking books about Steve Jobs as a guide to leading people in Silicon Valley. This isn't the first time I've seen a leader be ousted for behavior like this, and Tony is on his way out soon. What Steve Jobs accomplished worked for him and his personality. There's a lot more to leadership than shooting from the hip and telling people what you think. I'm always surprised how often the rise and fall of corporations, governments, kingdoms and civilizations depended on good interpersonal skills.

  • Poll: What Apple goodies did you receive this holiday season? [Update: Poll fixed]

    I got an Apple Watch Sport, space gray with black strap. I hit Apple Accessories, because why not. Anyway, I had no interest whatsoever in the Apple Watch because I work in a building where no personal electronics or radio transmitting devices are allowed. I just quit the job on Christmas eve, and I'll be starting a new job in a much cooler environment. My SO got me the watch! She was anticipating this gift for quite a while, and she found the perfect gift to celebrate the change. I got to admit, it's quite handy.
