Your note about the brand is so true that even their self-awareness lacks self-awareness, such as this note from the SF Symphony first-timer's guide: 6. What should I wear to a San Francisco Symphony concert? Contrary to what many peop

With the original iPhone's marketing, the question implicitly being asked and answered was "how is the iPhone better than my feature phone / BlackBerry?" With the iPhone 6's marketing, the question implicitly being

Barriers to entry such as wiki markup are rarely about whether a group of people are theoretically capable of doing something. The larger problem is that an article about [x] will now only be started/improved by the cross-section of pe

In a public general-interest Internet conversation, when you reach the limit of your willingness to productively engage, it may be prudent to cease engaging.

Most already have. Looking backward, the primary competition has been web, not OS X. Looking forward, the ascent of mobile is only making it easier to deprioritise Windows.

These are obviously not actual denials given how carefully they're worded.

Because those few lines of boilerplate you would have to add exist in order to make explicit your stance on issues you probably don't even know exist, and their inclusion would come at basically zero cost. Programmers of all people should a

You seem to be implicitly thinking of 'marketing' as pejorative. I'd suggest instead that identifying an audience for a potential product is actually part of making an awesome product. There's a pretty wide stretch of territory between not

We're all ignorant of the vast majority of facts relevant to almost anything. Comprehension is expensive and scarce. That being the case, simple extensions of good faith count for a lot.

This comment is a great example of problem #3 from the article: nitpicking at wording instead of engaging with ideas.

These comments are revealing in themselves. Every system has bad actors. Open identification and criticism of those bad actors marks a robustly free society, not a weak one. Talk of positioning, imprudence, insult, and hushing up... that tr

Tying it to one platform only "doesn't make sense" in a generic and irrelevant pseudo-strategic sense. The reality is that "The Magazine" is one dude making something neat in the time he's not spending on his multiple other business endeavo

All of the costs cited are rounding errors in comparison to the scarcity of good developers' time, especially developers capable of delivering product across iPhone / Android / web. Developing on "an old clunky win laptop" in particular is

The iPhone's battery takes up a gargantuan amount of its internal space already. Multiplying the battery size by 7 would end up doubling or tripling the device size easily. See the iFixit teardown of the 4: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/i
