yeahandroid: Google Music - Taking a wrong aim →
yeahandroid:
Google Music has taken aim at providing a competitive service to iTunes. And, it has done its job well. It almost does what iTunes Cloud Service has done - except for WMG standing in its way.
It also goes one step above it by providing two bonuses:
Store your own song. Songs you have not…

Parkinson's Law of Triviality
Also called as the bikeshed problem, this law states that, if the problem is less complex, there are bound to be high amount of trivial opinions about it, and vice-versa.
This is always illustrated with the bike shed vs nuclear reactor. People do not know much details about a nuclear reactor, and often times they do not argue much. Because it is complex. However building a bike shed, is not so...

Story of two companies
Asustek started out making circuit boards for Dell. They approached dell to do Motherboards for them, offering 20% less. Dell agreed, cos revenues were unaffected, while profits increased. The deal is a Win-Win.
Asustek, then took over motherboard, the assembly, supply chain, and design, in a similar fashion. Now, Asustek goes to Bestbuy instead of Dell, offering a PC that is 20% less in price.

Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale
The Saffir–Simpson Hurricane Scale divides hurricanes into five categories distinguished by the intensities of their sustained winds. SSHS for the rest of us, as described below
Category 1 - Causes damage to un-anchored mobile homes. Leaves alone your home.
Category 2 - They can lift your home, and damage windows, doors. Near-total power outages. Scattered loss of potable water.
Category 3 -...
Exiting at Top
As Legends do. Two things that I like about Steve Jobs’ resignation.
Timing - After Apple became the most valuable company in terms of market cap. Might be just to prove a point!
Philosophy - His philosophy and vision of giving only your very best!
All the very best Steve!
Google Takes Aim
By Acquiring Motorola, Google positions itself to take aim at the mobile market.
To me the most important thing is the price. This is not the price that Google pays for Motorola. It is the price that Google pays for its vision. It gives you a good idea of what is at stake in mobiles.
Below are some of the important factors in play behind this acquisition.
The patent game
My guess is that Moto...
How did Android make the iPhone better?
Though Android has been often abused, and bullied by iPhone fans, they should really thank Android for making their iPhone better.
The intention of the post is not to brag about Android, rather to highlight how an industry benefits from competition. Even the “world’s most advanced OS” benefits from its competitor.

Android and Litigation
Of late there has been so much noise about android and litigation. These are my thoughts about them.
First litigation speaks more about the competition, than about android. The fact that its competitors chose to compete in court, than in market, speaks volume of Android’s success.
Second, litigation is the last straw. If Android is going to overcome this one, there is nothing much that...

parislemon:
Steve Jobs goes to Cupertino City Hall to make the case for Apple’s new proposed headquarters. This is easily the most fascinating city council meeting ever. A few things:
1) Jobs is still officially on medical leave, but he clearly felt strongly enough about this new campus that he wanted to give this presentation. Solo.
2) This was just a day after his WWDC keynote.
3) Holy shit...
Canary in a coal mine
Canary birds served as an early warning system in the coal mines. The reason is that lethal gases take around 5 minutes to kill a canary bird, but around 12 minutes to kill a human being. That gives us some time to escape a lethal gas.
The audible clue these birds provided were vital in the dark mines. If a canary bird went silent, it meant the obvious. Also, canary birds were used as...
Coal Industry of yore
Back in the days, laborers, were offered a free rail ticket to Brooklyn and promise of a job there. Once they say yes, they were on a train, that took them to Brooklyn, West Virginia. More than 600 miles from Brooklyn,NY.
When they exit the train they were offered jobs in coal mines. They could reject them, but were not paid for their trip back. And chances are that they did not have the money to...

Alexander the Great
If you are like me, who idolize Alexander, here are some adjectives that NGC uses to describe him -
Megalomaniac
Ruthless
Cruel
Tyrant
Brash
Along with the usual -
Genius
Brave
Courageous
If the story be told in all its fairness, with all the historical undertones, it should look like this: Alexander, was rumoured to be born to Zeus and Olympus. A rumour that his mother Olympus allowed...
