Fortune: Apple’s next Newton

January 5th, 2010

Fortune’s TechMate segment about Apple’s upcoming tablet (referred to as the next Newton) proves to me that Michael Copeland has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.

My latest read – Free: The future of a radical price

July 18th, 2009

I just finished Free: The Future of a Radical Price by Chris Anderson. Enjoyed his book The Long Tail (review here) and learning about this radical idea in his 2008 Wired article, but I was skeptical. This book invites you to learn about “radical” sales techniques that have been around for some time but have [...]
