Of course, we should all recognize that the collective track record for Apple prognostications stinks. Apple rumors come and go and never resemble the real world. However, this latest rumor feels like something is missing. If there is an iPad mini will it just be a small screen iPad, or will it be something more?</div>

Microsoft is being investigated over the use of Internet Explorer as a default browser for Windows. Microsoft had previously agreed to offer users a choice of browsers when they installed Windows, but had reported that a 'technical glitch' resulted in distribution of copies of Windows that did not offer users a choice. Google is under investigation over allegations that search results on Google favor Google products in the results delivered.<br>

I would like to have one computer that is both easily portable and that has all of the power I need to get things done. Unfortunately, these two goals conflict with one another. A truly portable computer must make tradeoffs that I would rather not have when I sit down in my office.<br>

In the United States, traditional advertising is under assault. What will this mean for the rest of our society? Many of the things we enjoy for free are funded by advertising dollars. As the flow of advertising dollars is redirected, how will related markets be impacted. In this article we consider the ways that traditional advertising is disappearing. In later articles we will look at adaptations that are occurring, or that may occur in advertising spending.<a href="http://blogs.8chs.com/2012/04/death-of-traditional-advertising.html#more">Read more »</a>emellaichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17320478267146514747noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947580417322282092.post-36995154226526443192012-03-30T12:32:00.000-04:002012-03-30T12:32:08.224-04:00Best Buy: On the Right Track?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Recently, Best Buy announced a new <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303404704577311322427071212.html">strategy</a>.

Local companies need to figure out the unique advantages that they derive from a local presence, and to build their operations around those advantages. In the showrooming article, I mention one approach that could be used by Target (and Best Buy), but it's certainly not the only approach.<br>

Everyone 'knows' that the world's population is constantly increasing. Indeed, the U.S. census bureau <a href="http://www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb/worldpoptotal.php">projects</a> that the world population will grow by 34% from 2012 to 2050. However, the story changes if we dig down to the country level. Consider the forecasts for the following countries<br>

The problem is the <a href="http://9to5mac.com/2012/03/07/lte-ipad-pricing-now-live-from-verizon-and-att/">price plans </a>that are available from AT&T and Verizon.<br />
<br />
Netflix <a href="http://blog.netflix.com/2011/03/netflix-lowers-data-usage-by-23-for.html">estimates </a>that an HD movie will take 'up to' 2.3 GB per hour. This means that one hour at 1080p can use up your entire 2GB to 3GB of data that you get on the carriers $30 plan. The solution to this is to download your movies over wi-fi before you hit the road. On the road, you will just do basic web browsing and email so you don't eat into your cap.<br />
<br />
So, the question is ... why do you need LTE if you can only use it use for 3g-speed data downloads? Or, why do you need the retina display over LTE if your browsing caps limit the quality of the content you can see?emellaichhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17320478267146514747noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7947580417322282092.post-91369638517235940342012-03-09T11:43:00.002-05:002012-03-09T11:44:51.600-05:00Companies Know No One Reads those Legal Agreements.

In the legal world, how can one party agree to something if they literally can't read the agreement? Terms and Conditions imposed by consumer-facing organizations have been controversial for some time, at least in the eyes of some consumer advocates. However, in the light of a recent <a href="http://http//www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/03/reading-the-privacy-policies-you-encounter-in-a-year-would-take-76-work-days/253851/">article</a> on web site privacy policies, can these really be called "agreements"? How can one party agree to something if they literally can't read it?<br>

The problem is that even a successful digital camera business couldn't carry the cost structure of a Kodak. At its heyday, the company owned virtually all of the high margin film and paper business. It is hard to conceive of a digital camera strategy that could generate similar incomes.<br>

Recently, I <a href="http://blogs.8chs.com/2012/02/dilemna-for-publishers-of-fiction.html" target="_blank">discussed </a>a few of the issues facing fiction
book publishers. My prediction is that their biggest competition will come from
authors who bypass publishers and distribute through electronic channels
(Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and even their personal web sites). Where does
this leave the publisher in a post-printing world?</div>

The traditional market for publishing fiction is under
assault. The first salvo came with the introduction of print-on-demand.
However, it appears the real threat is from the electronic book movement. One
of the most significant trends from these initiatives is the emergence of
competition from <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/story/2011-12-14/self-published-authors-ebooks/51851058/1" target="_blank">self-published </a>new comers, or even established pro's that are taking their books directly to
consumers. How should a publisher react in this environment?

The news has had articles about retailers struggling with
the concept of “Showrooming”. This occurs when shoppers come to a bricks and mortar
store to touch and feel products, and then go to the internet to buy them. Most
recently Target has been <span id="goog_1051148666"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/">highlighted <span id="goog_1051148667"></span></a>for sending a letter to its vendors asking
them for help with the issue,
but is likely a problem for other retailers with physical locations, such as
Best Buy, or even WalMart.<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It appears that Target is taking defensive action to protect
its turf, but would it be possible to embrace the trend and take advantage of Target’s
physical presence? What if Target, literally turned itself into a showroom?
Consider how this would work.</div>

Many (most?) technology patents describe individual features of an entire system, or ecology of innovation. <span style="font-size: 100%;">For example, consider a patent to recognize phone numbers in emails and to launch a dialer when the number is selected. This patent by itself is not that interesting. It is only when the invention is embedded in a smartphone or other system that includes email and telephone calling that there is utility to this patent. </span><span style="font-size: 100%;">In contrast, consider a patent for a novel drug. This patent covers the drug in its entirety and no other inventions are required to produce the drug.</span></div>

We examine the news of the day as well as the trends and implications of those trends.
Every now and then, I plan to mix things up with quirky things I've been thinking about. For example, did you know that there can't be such a thing as a full moon? I enjoy thinking and hearing about new things, and I hope you will share your thoughts and discoveries with me also.
Here is a fun post on learning things late in life. However, it mostly deals with mistaken word definitions and pronunciations.<br />
