Appropriately, a web site called Fudzilla is reporting that Microsoft is going to open retail stores. It’s time for shareholders to weep a little more. Everytime, Microsoft has a brainstormin’ meeting, it’s more money down the drain: Let’s buy Yahoo! ($45 BILLION) Let’s launch a DAP/MP3 Player! (3% marketshare) ($1 BILLION) XBox – The Xbox [...]

Even if the numbers of a million iPhones being unlocked are correct, that’s a MILLION iPhones walking around all over the world as FREE marketing and advertising for Apple – the most effective advertising of all – because it gives those users the cachet of doing something “not quite legal.” That they are “above the [...]

It’s pretty amazing the number of journalists who don’t look at a situation before just plowing ahead and writing words and “a conclusion.” They either choose to ignore the real world or they simply don’t understand it. Either way, it’s appalling. Yes, Amazon’s entry into the “unlocked” DRM free Mp3 market will affect Apple & [...]

Not actually blogging from here since we’re only #72,000 on Technorati … there are only about 15 seats … maybe next year. Other than the keynote, there’s not much to see that’s new – I don’t think Adobe is even here. The nicest booth by far is Belkin’s … If this were in Venice, it’d [...]

You’re on a plane, the movie they are offering is NORBIT or the edited 9-minute version of DEADWOOD … fortunately the rotund dude in front of you who had to buy two tickets is sound asleep and he’s wearing a white shirt – just attach the Pico Movie Projector to your iPod and you use [...]

As a result, it will only display the incoming numbers only when the person is in [...]

To some, Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T blabbing that a 3G iPhone is coming is a slip of the tongue, to some, it’s a well planned metaphoric stab at Steve Jobs and to others, it’s old news. The bottom line is it’s a combination of all three but the consequences are very mimimal. Why? Because [...]

NBC decided to dump iTunes because they wanted to go down their own path. Why offer consumers, viewers and customer convenience when consumers will do ‘whatever we at NBC say?’ NBC – we’re so good – people should jump through flaming hoops to watch us! iTunes was oh so simple and boring. Sure, ONE CLICK [...]

Recently Radiohead experimented with the release of their latest album by allowing fans to download their latest album as digital mp3 files AND set their own price … Internet monitoring company Comscore extrapolated from their users (that willingly let them track their online usage) that 38% paid zero for the tracks … and also that [...]

NBC-U Jeff Zucker is now mad people consider him and his Hulu venture idiotic so he is trying to talk as if he actually understands digital and the television business going forward.
