  • We ended up taking the approach we have always taken at JTV to solve every problem: we hired or repurposed smart engineers to work on our mobile apps who didn't necessarily have a ton (read: any) experience. Our philosophy has always been to hire talented engineers with strong programming backgrounds and let them work on areas of the company they are interested in, regardless of domain experience. Subsequently, we grew our mobile teams to 2 iOS engineers, 1 Android engineer, and 1 mobile product designer.

  • Which makes the language he used during his public interview with Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher at D8 particularly fascinating. We edited a transcript to carve out the usual fill-in words in English, and then used the huge text feed to drive the creation of the word cloud up at the top, and it reveals right off the bat that the most important word Steve used during the hour and a half of interview was "people." Fabulous, isn't it? Not "Apple," or "technology" or even "iPad," which is the gadget that's selling like hotcakes around the world right now. Nope--"people." While he used the word in all sorts of contexts, it's a sign that Steve is acutely aware of people's opinions, wants, requests, desires and even failings. Perhaps this sensitivity to the human condition is behind the passionate Apple fan world, and even a factor in why consumers seem to love Apple products.

  • 收购玺诚就是一个这样的注脚：玺诚是分众在卖场广告最大也是唯一的竞争对手。在分众上市后，它曾经主动上门要求被收购，却被江南春拒之门外。几年后，玺诚发起了在纳斯达克上市的路演。为此，江南春不得不做出最艰难的决定：在玺诚上市前夜，以高达1.684亿美元的代价收购了竞争对手。

      

    　　但玺诚的表现却很糟糕，甚至未完成盈利目标。2008年底，分众宣布重组玺诚。“现在看来，收购成本是太高了，”回首往事，江南春承认，“如果不那么着急，也许在2008年的金融危机中，你根本就看不见它了。”

  • 正是这位老师，告诉了他“一碗面”的故事。江南春开始转述这个故事：“话说，街边有一个面店。如果开店的老板，开张第一天，想的就是如何把面做得更好吃，让客人更开心。那么，他的生意必定会越做越好。如果，他从第一天起就只想把面店做成连锁店，并且上市，那他一定不会成功。”一向喜欢米兰·昆德拉的江南春说：“世界上最可怕的两个词，一个叫执着，一个叫认真，认真的人改变自己，执着的人改变命运。”

  • Whatever you think, think the opposite

    • This is painful for developers to hear, because we love code. But all that brilliant code is totally irrelevant until: 

       

         
      1. people understand what you're doing 
      2. people become interested in what you're doing 
      3. people get excited about what you're doing

  • When you're trying to find someone online, Google's not the only game in town. In the last two years, a handful of new people search engines have come onto the scene that offer better ways to pinpoint people info by name, handle, location, or place of employment. While there's still no killer, one-stop people search, there are more ways than ever to track down a long-lost friend, stalk an ex, or screen a potential date or employee. The next time you wonder, "What ever happened to so-and-so?" you've got a few power people search tools to turn to.

  • But on the whole, it's been a great thing. Pick up any conference proceedings from the last 20 years, in the fields of math, computer science, physics, or chemistry (among numerous others), and you'll see the results of TeX layout. Pick up a book published by Springer-Verlag, and it's almost certainly typeset by TeX. Look at Greg Chaitin's books - every one was written using TeX. Look at any typeset equation in pretty much any published source, from websites to conference proceedings, to journals, to textbooks. If the equation looks really good, if everything is in exactly the right place, and every symbol is correctly drawn in relation to everything else - odds are, it was generated by TeX. Even hardcore Microsoft word users generally use something TeX based for doing equations.
