Apple's thriving $25bn enterprise business

Apple is now one of the top 25 enterprise companies





Silicon valley better unite behind Apple immediately and loudly, because the Feds aren't going to stop with Apple.

It's not just about the iPhone used in San Bernardino like Lynch and Obama keep repeating. 

The Government's Next Target in the Encryption War is 'WhatsApp' as Facebook Races to Strengthen it

Businesses, customers and the United States government also rely on strong encryption to help protect information from hackers, identity thieves and foreign cyberattacks. That is why, in 2013, a White House report said the government should "not in any way subvert, undermine, weaken, or make vulnerable generally available commercial encryption."

Fairygodboss Ranked Apple #1 with Women Executives for being treated as Equals







Speaking of Women tech executives...

With any luck this could be about the time the new Indianapolis Apple Store at the Fashion Mall opens.  

Maybe she'll fast track it?

Ahrendts is originally from the Indianapolis ex-urb of New Palestine and now owns Reggie Miller's former house on Geist reservoir in Fishers, a suburb, so essentially, she is a hometown girl.

They will probably take those upright posts out and install larger i-beams across the front, which will be extended about 16 feet out to the sidewalk.

The front facade will be taller and probably all glass.

The DOJ threatens to seize Apple's crown jewels






If he believes what he's saying, the guy really doesn't get it.

I think Eric Holder brainwashed him, and caused the administration to make very bad decisions not only on this, but the iBooks v Amazon debacle.

President Obama urges prudence from both sides of encryption debate, warns against 'absolutist' position








Here's the company you're keeping now, President Obama!

Note the hand gesture just like Obama's above: Sends the message that the public is too dumb to understand what they're doing, and they personally have to explain this, as though they're teaching a Sunday school class.

Answers to your questions about Apple and security







Ex-CIA director sides with Apple in iPhone unlocking case







Odd that the politicians who are concerned with security, want to do away with it.

What's that called again, oh yeah, an oxyMORON.

Now another world politician who doesn't have a clue, is extorting Apple.

We have more to fear from guys like this than from lone wolf assassins.

My friend:

Chip Hooper was "a force of nature": Friends and colleagues honor the Industry Veteran




Chip Hooper, the last great talent agent, has passed away at 53.  

I developed a personal and professional relationship with a young Chip in 1984 not long after I  began managing Henry Lee Summer in Indianapolis.   I worked with Chip for booking club dates in Chicago, then booking several college campus concerts in the midwest through the NACA: National Association for Campus Activities, of which he was a member.  

Chip moved to GMA in Minneapolis, and I called on him again in 1989 when he was an agent at Monterey Peninsula Artists in Carmel, CA to put Henry on the Doobie Brothers Cycles tour as the opening act.  In 1991, I signed Henry with Chip and MPA for the Way Past Midnight  album tour, I think we were one of his first signings at MPA .

Lisa, my wife and Henry's business manager, and I would visit Chip and his wife Laura when we were in The San Francisco bay area for meetings at MPA. The small building the agency occupied back then overlooked the spectacular Point Lobos and the Pacific coast that Chip loved to photograph with his large format Ansel Adams style camera. He created magnificent black and white photographs of the rugged California seacoast and eventually the world. Photography was more than his hobby and his escape from the music business.  It was the inner Chip Hooper. He earned many national and international exhibitions of his beautiful works of art. 

Chip would call occasionally to check in, but his music business career with the agency was so successful that eventually like many relationships, we lost touch.

It was with great sadness that Lisa and I recently learned of his passing.
