Microsoft shoots Windows Live Messenger, brings in Skype IM

url

there has been a fudge in all IM user data for years

and I can appreciate that MS is pushing against the fudge (in some regards), but the QQ install base is pretty phenomenal.

until the data gets away from installed, and moves exclusivity into active, then it remains a fudge.

the best data i have seen to date: http://goo.gl/zev4M

(use a hover thing to verify - it's a goog docs/pdf thing from MS research)

my only issue is that its from 2007 and obv misses tencent's huge rise (and renren's), and neither can be ignored in any reasonabe long term estimation.

Windows RT still haunted by the ghost of Microsoft's 2001 tablet fiasco

it seems like

if the surface fails, then the iPad fails with it.

angry birds et. al. (i.e. hipster toys) is not a long term model.

it seems like the novelty has already worn off (zynga shares), and we either embrace the form factor properly or the whole thing sinks. 2001 was probably a bit early (not enough processing nor UI refinement), but 10 years on, i'm not sure the iPad really brings anything to the table. As such if the MS version doesn't work, both will go the way of the dodo.

great article, thanks for standing your (unpopular) ground

Apple stores getting close to overload

url

wth

take away the spin, and look at the more likely reality

the stores are busy because...the store are also service centers.

it doesn't just work, any goon in it knows this, it will never just work, because - users.

the revenue/staff is simply a nice way to hide the fact.

likely the revenue per staff discounts the service center aspect and so their model looks better.

is seems obvious to point out, but, apple pride themselves on appearance over quality.

i have zero doubt that this attitude extends to their accounting, etc.

Download data versus piracy claims: the figures don’t add up

url

i think the real problem with the claim

is that you can actually download anything in .au at all.

each and every internet denizen from .au has always claimed to have an utterly utterly rubbish connection.

so yeah, anecdotal evidence collated over 15+ years suggests piracy in australia is no where near as good as it is anywhere else. reckon I'd find more supporters of my claim than any industry sponsored report, no issue.

the damage he has caused the entire community actually has much wider repercussions.

his not resigning sooner is indicative of the kind of desperate ethics in play.
