some good quotes in there, especially the ones on design...
one of the weirdest things I have read recently. Just is...
a great review of the laptop (macbook air) I've been waiting for...
interesting, if stilted, article about the magic of Steve Jobs on the stage.
"To be clear, we should not fear this one patent application, but rather the larger technology that may be captured by governments and implemented in widespread standards that could have serious consequences, for example, by shutting down citizens’ ability to capture and disseminate video. The technology in this patent just may be a harbinger of that, and—for that reason—we will continue to watch it closely."
nice article, well spelled out. thanks to @alecmuffett for forwarding
relevant at every release of a updated apple gadget
this is serious, unacceptable, if not surprising... I wonder if there'll be any pushback...
An unusually cogent and insightful article by McKinsey (who seemed to have lost the plot some time ago when it comes to all things internet and industries affected by it). Still a far cry from individual autonomy but at least they seem to have noticed that people seem to like being able to do stuff on their terms. News flash!

The mass-production business model has come under assault during the past decade, perhaps most successfully by the combination of Apple’s iPod and its music service, iTunes. The iPod is a cool gadget, but (like the Model T) it is also a gateway product, one of the first to achieve both scale and commercial success while expressing a new mutation. The iPod and iTunes reinvented music consumption by starting with the listener’s individual space, which I call “I-space.” Apple rescued musical assets from a faltering business model—the compact disc—and bypassed the industry’s costly legacy systems and routes to market. It supported users in reconfiguring their music as they saw fit. Apple is the largest music retailer in the United States today. But I would argue that the real breakthrough had nothing to do with music per se. The true source of value, which had been invisible to the music industry, resided in Apple’s ability to reinvent the consumption experience from the viewpoint of the individual, at a fraction of the old cost.

The iPod—and its successors, the iPhone and the iPad—are part of the first wave of what I call “distributed capitalism,” which encompasses the myriad ways in which production and consumption increasingly depend on distributed assets, distributed information, and distributed social and management systems.2 Distributed capitalism could not thrive without the technologies associated with the Internet, mobile computing, wireless broadband, and related developments in digitization and software applications. But just using these technologies does not ensure success.

disagree that apple handled well. the crisis management questions are interesting though but shoehorning apple's response onto them is not going to change the fact they are a closed, arrogant and increasingly worrying company
