Just because they're talking doesn't mean a swift conclusion to this war

Google, Apple CEOs in talks on patent issues






Eric Schmidt put a lot of footwork in Germany

This is more likely what the meeting above was about

German court postpones ruling on Apple v motorola lawsuit targeting "core Android operating system"
Mannheim Regional Court in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

"The fact that Google CEO Larry Page is talking to Apple CEO Tim Cook about intellectual property matters including Android-related patent litigation shows that Google has problems in this area. How many of those problems relate to the "core Android operating system" depends on how one defines that term."




Are Apple and Google really ready for patent detente?


Must see TV!

This guy produced an Apple TBWA/Chiat Day quality video to raise $80K for his iPad Stand start-up!

Apple probably pays 10 - 20 times that amount for a commercial

Apple should hire him or Chiat/Day should

Oh yeah, it looks like a damn good iPad stand too

Apple's patent win could start a fundamental Shift in Industry Innovation





Lion broke a lot of things that Mountain Lion still hasn't fixed.

Apple doesn't like people holding on to the past, but they haven't provided replacements for what they've broken yet.

I think a lot of people will be running Snow Leopard on a separate machine or drive until there are fixes and/or replacements.

Is Snow Leopard staging a comeback?

Not what Steve Jobs and Ron Johnson had in mind for their  Store legacy

There is also a lack of, or an extreme slowdown, of store expansions under the new team of Cook & Browett

Cook is a cost cutting operations guy

I can tell the change of tone at the Keystone Apple Store

They are not handling growth well

The Fashion Mall Apple Store should have been doubled or tripled in size by now

The Genius Bar should also have been doubled or tripled in size and staffing

I'd have to give these two a "D" for  Store retailing legacy
