Apple’s iPhone is finally coming to Japan next month (3G, July 11th), and NTT Docomo (about 50% market share) is about to lose a whole lot of customers to newcomer Softbank who has negotiated a deal to carry the 3G iPhone. Interestingly, neither Softbank nor Apple mentioned any exclusivity clauses, so it […]
What many people outside the U.S. don’t know is that coverage of the Super Bowl (American football championship game) is the most viewed television program of the year…..like, every year. And you know what that means, don’t you?: advertising revenue up the wazoo. That’s right, bookoo dolores flooding ad agencies in the highest stakes […]
Merry Christmas and all that.
TED Talks delivers another gem, this time articulated by the crafty and capable Larry Lessig:

I’ve been a firm believer in free music for a long time. Cheers to Radiohead for the bold move of releasing their latest album as a free download on their website. They’re causing quite a stir with all the music industry […]
Whatever you do, have a reason for doing it–and make sure it’s a good one. Trouble is, having good reasons to act is less than half the battle. You’ve got to convince yourself it’s worth it to change things up, and then you’ve got to follow through. And don’t ever forget this: you can talk […]
Time to break out the ol’ thinking caps…
