Apple's Mistake
,----[ Quote ]
| I don't think Apple realizes how badly the
| App Store approval process is broken. Or
| rather, I don't think they realize how much
| it matters that it's broken.
|
| The way Apple runs the App Store has harmed
| their reputation with programmers more than
| anything else they've ever done. Their
| reputation with programmers used to be
| great. It used to be the most common
| complaint you heard about Apple was that
| their fans admired them too uncritically.
| The App Store has changed that. Now a lot of
| programmers have started to see Apple as
| evil.

Post-Medium Publishing
,----[ Quote ]
| Almost every form of publishing has been organized as if the
| medium was what they were selling, and the content was irrelevant.
| Book publishers, for example, set prices based on the cost of
| producing and distributing books. They treat the words printed in
| the book the same way a textile manufacturer treats the patterns
| printed on its fabrics.
|
| Economically, the print media are in the business of marking up
| paper. We can all imagine an old-style editor getting a scoop and
| saying "this will sell a lot of papers!" Cross out that final S
| and you're describing their business model. The reason they make
| less money now is that people don't need as much paper.
