Apple should be hitting general public
hard with Tiger promos 03/24/2005 08:32 PM
Sometimes it’s hard to understand Apple Computer’s marketing strategy in regards to the lack of promotion for its upcoming products. Take Mac OS X Tiger for example. The latest reports in a number of Apple enthusiast sites claim Tiger will be released to manufacturing before the end of the month. And from what we’ve heard so far, this is supposed to be the best thing Apple has done since the 1984 launch of the Macintosh. Not yet for sale, Tiger sits in the top 10 on Amazon’s top electronics sellers list. Last evening while watching “Survivor” on TV (and without even realizing I was thinking about Apple Computer) I suddenly had the desire to see a teaser commercial for Tiger. Can you imagine how hard any other company in the world would be working on promotions if they had a product half as good as Tiger coming out in a few weeks? Look how Sony built the hype and suspense surrounding its new PlayStation Portable in North America. Apple seems to continually ignore great opportunities for marketing, instead relying on the “free advertising” provided by the Mac media, the odd news story picked up by the mainstream media and the big surprise product launches by the company’s head showman Steve Jobs. While these shows may have been fun for the five percent of the world population that use Macs, the routine is getting a little stale even for them after 20 years. And now thanks to the incredible success of the one product Apple has spent advertising dollars on, the iPod, the mainstream public is primed like never before to hear the hype from Apple about its computers. The two new marketing heavyweights joining Apple recently – Julia Miller, formerly Microsoft’s worldwide marketing and sales executive for Xbox Live, and Allison Johnson, former senior vice president of marketing for HP, will hopefully breathe some fresh air into Apple’s marketing department and bring it into the 21st century.

Apple in Education: Part V

Apple in Education: Part V 12/19/2004 02:51 PM
Most people think of music when they hear the word “iPod”, but the diminutive music player has other attributes that are making it an invaluable tool for the classroom. “The iPod is a portable tool for diction and sound recording, taking and reading notes, storing files and photos and listening to audio books and newspapers,” Apple says on its Education website. With enough space to store four weeks of continuous music, or 40,000 minutes of audiobooks, or a months worth of newspaper articles, the 40GB iPod is a “pretty big backpack”, Apple says. In fact, the iPod has proven itself so useful as a learning tool some schools are making it mandatory for students to own one. At the Brearley School, a private school for girls on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the iPod became a necessity on the school supply list this year, according to a New York Times article. The iPod was incorporated into foreign-language and classics courses and for about 300 girls in grades 7 through 12 for homework and classroom assignments. The NY Times reports that Apple says Brearley's mandatory-iPod program is the first it has heard of at the secondary-school level. At the post-secondary level, the iPod is also becoming a vital tool. This fall Duke issued an iPod to each of its 1,650 incoming freshmen and has tried to incorporate the device into several courses, including music, language and engineering. Last year, Georgia College & State University began lending the devices to students for use in several humanities courses. If the iPod’s multiple features already listed here weren’t enough to convince parents and educators of its importance beyond a music player, it can also keep track of schedules through its support of vCalendar and iCalendar files, which can be exported by Microsoft Entourage, Palm Desktop, and iCal. And finally, the alarm clock feature should eliminate tardiness in any student who owns one. Part I Part II Part III Part IV

Real's Hijack Of FairPlay? No Big Deal
To Apple, Real, And Their Customers

Real's Hijack Of FairPlay? No Big Deal
To Apple, Real, And Their Customers 08/19/2004 11:52 AM
As I like to remind my dear readers, here in Singapore, we don't even have photo prints and photo books in iPhoto yet, so, naturally, we can't participate in the grand shopping experience of either iTunes Music Store nor Real's Rhapsody store. I don't even own an iPod or any MP3 players (except my computers, of course). So, obviously, the latest issues surrounding Real's reverse engineering of FairPlay doesn't concern me. :-)
No, seriously. I believe it's not a big deal as many has made out to be.
Let's do one pretend exercise. Let's pretend that, instead of selling DRM-protected music files, Real is selling unprotected, no-DRM, plain old MP3 files.
Now, in this pretend world, of course Real's customer can purchase Real music files, and upload them to the iPod for their listening pleasure. (In fact, there are already such stores out there, just that they are not from Real.) Would Apple fans then be protesting against Real reverse-ennginnering FairPlay to allow their music to be uploaded to the iPod? Obviously not.
Now, of course, Real is not selling plain old MP3s. If, in our pretend world, Real is selling non-protected music files, while Apple is being forced to sell DRM-protected music files, wouldn't that place iTMS in a disadvantaged position? Music fans will flock to Real in huge numbers, wouldn't they?
Well, not really. Because Apple is selling non-protected plain old AAC files too.
After all, it is well-documented (by everybody except Apple, that is) that you can simply burn your iTMS files onto audio CDs, and the DRM is automatically removed.
Even if Apple removed this functionality due to pressure from third-parties, somebody will immediately crack whatever DRM system Apple is imposing on its customers. After all, it is well known (well, at least to the Slashdot community :-) that all DRM can be broken. That's what you get when you place the encryption algorithm and all the encryption keys together in the same customer's hands.
But let's pretend some more. Even if Apple invented a perfect DRM system that cannot be broken, the channel between the speakers and your brain will still be unprotected, so I wouldn't worry too much. Until someday where the iTMS requirements include a trip to your local Apple Store to get a decryption chip implanted into your brain, we can safely pretend that Apple is selling non-protected no-DRM plain old AAC files.
So, in our pretend world, everyone is selling non-DRMed files, that can be freely uploaded to any MP3 players out there. So, you see, it's really no big deal.
Now, when viewed in this light, wouldn't you say that the fact that Real reversed engineered FairPlay to be, well, a non-issue?
P.S. Sony will be the ultimate loser in this pretend world, as their player does not play plain old MP3s.
P.P.S. The whole "freedom of choice" advertisement campaign by Real is entirely tasteless and stupid, but that's another story.
