Tim Cook is the man. He owed up to Apple's clear failure.
The statement reads like a balanced and fair apology - should put a damper on the AppleMap-gate.
I am very surprised nobody has picked up this line for discussion:
"
Success in escaping [..] was also influenced by the educational level of the parents, a higher rate of success being associated with fewer years of education attained by mother and father combined. "
There's no attempt at explanation for this in the article itself..
Would it be safe to deduce that the more educated "you" are, the more passive (or "inactive") you are in the face of danger?
Has Quora reached a tipping point and became just another site for teen-advice on the internets (I'm looking at you, Yahoo Answers!) ?
Is this a natural progression for any site with a user-generated content? And how to keep things relevant?
I wonder what you think :)
"I doubt that 37signals makes tons of $$ with Basecamp"...
Really?
A few people have attempted at figuring out 37signals annual profits (which mostly come from Basecamp).
Some veeeeeery conservative figures put their profits at around 10M a year. Probably a multiple of that.
To you it obviously isn't "tons of $$". I get it!
Next, you're going to say that no one pays for "time-tracking" anymore...
The logical conclusion then is that "the reality of how people use Facebook" is going to change.
Facebook (not for the first time) is attempting to shape users' behaviour.
I am curious what sort of thinking went behind this change.
This article states that 37signals uses online ads in addition to their 'thought leadership' marketing strategy, which, if true, I would find slightly discouraging.
