Apple: The "i" Stands for iconic

Apple: The "i" Stands for iconic 06/01/2004 01:53 PM

Apple's silhouette iPod ads have been far more pervasive than anyone probably imagined, and now thanks to an anonymous New Yorker (or, more likely, New Yorkers) armed with a Sharpie the posters have become a platform for expressing the various feelings of hate, jealousy, passion, and, yes, poetry, that the tropical-hued advertisements and their white audio sperm inspire. Starting with the same argument levied against the iPod's great uncle, the Walkman, the phrase, "The "i" in iPod stands for isolation," was scribbled on the first ad, replicated down the line with "irrational," "insecure," and other iWords taking the place of "isolation." Deep! Ironically, the people that felt the need to parley an mp3 player into social critique are exactly the people we wear headphones to avoid. (Thanks, Matt!)

Finding Competitive Advantage in
Training 03/14/2005 05:57 PM
Injecting e-Learning into the Corporate Training Program - The opportunity to improve employee knowledge and capabilities through e-Learning ranges from the most senior executive to the newest hire. This is due to the unprecedented reach of the web, its minimal cost, and its increasing ability to deliver the highest quality content - including video – to end users. Few areas of business are better suited than HR training and Professional Development to leverage the Internet. The nature and needs of corporate training matches the strengths of the web almost perfectly. For example, training involves delivering content to many people who are often in dispersed locations while the web is an increasingly reliable, powerful, ubiquitous and low cost media.

Day Is Night: Microsoft Says Security Is

Day Is Night: Microsoft Says Security Is
Its Competitive Advantage 07/09/2004 05:12 AM
Really not quite sure what to make of this, but apparently Microsoft believes that if they just say something it must be true. In the past few weeks there have been so many major Microsoft security problems, it's been nearly impossible to keep count. Yet, Steve Ballmer is going to stand on stage with a straight face at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference and claim that security is their competitive advantage. Even worse, he's doing this despite claiming the same thing last year, which included a number of promises about Microsoft's security upgrades, most of which they haven't actually done. Now, there are plenty of sites that bash Microsoft for being Microsoft, and that's really not worth wasting time over. However, if Microsoft really wants to claim they're serious about security, shouldn't they show us they're serious about security, rather than just telling us?

Seven open source business strategies
for competitive advantage 05/14/2004 09:16 AM
Open source presents a large potential competitive advantage for hardware and software vendors, and vendors of complementary or substitute services. Linux has contributed greatly to the adoption and success of OSS. Companies such as IBM, HP, Red Hat, Oracle, and recently, Novell, have invested in, and legitimized the use of Linux for enterprise applications -- including datacenter operations. Attorney/analyst John Koenig offers a listing of open source strategies that can bring great competitive advantages to companies if implemented correctly. Read on at ITMJ ...

Is The iPod Anti-Competitive?

Is The iPod Anti-Competitive? 08/06/2004 12:57 PM
The French online music store, Virgin Mega, has apparently decided that rather than get accused by Apple of hacking to get their songs to play on the iPod, they're simply going to sue Apple for being anti-competitive in not being willing to license their FairPlay DRM. As many people pointed out during the whole RealNetworks mess, all the site really needs to do is offer songs for sale in a non-DRM'd format such as MP3 and they'll work just fine on the iPod. It is amusing, of course, that this supposedly "anti-competitive" move is actually limiting Apple's market. Apple has made it clear that they don't make money on iTunes, but on the iPod. By making it so other music stores can't get their music on the iPod Apple is simply making the iPod less attractive. Is it illegal to make bad business decisions for your own company?

Griffin Technology has introduced RoadTrip, a 3-in-1 device that provides an FM transmitter, charger and cradle for all dock-capable iPod and iPod mini MP3 players. The transmitter broadcasts your music on any FM frequency on your car stereo, with a backlit display that shows which frequency is in use, while the charger keeps your iPod's battery at full capacity. The RoadTrip plugs into any 12-volt outlet or cigarette lighter in your car and its transmitter unit can be removed and plugged into a USB port on your computer, enabling music broadcast from it to any nearby FM stereo. Griffin has left the top of the US$79.99 device open for use with other iPod accessories, which means RoadTrip isn't compatible with the 1G and 2G iPods that have FireWire ports on top.

It's available in two models, one that fits all 4G iPods -- including the iPod photo -- and one that fits the iPod mini; the hook on the latter doesn't swivel 360 degrees, however.

SendStation Systems and RadTech have released two new PocketDock models and MiniSleevz for iPod mini, respectively.

The PocketDo ck Line Out ($29.95) also features a 6-pin FireWire port but adds a 3.5mm (1/8-inch) stereo jack that bypasses the iPod's headphones amplifier for better sound quality when connecting the MP3 player to external speakers. It comes with two six-foot white audio cables. Both PocketDock models are available now and are compatible with Apple's 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40GB iPods, as well as the iPod mini.
