Digital transformation: What the $#%&@! is a business model and why you should care

Digital transformation: What the $#%&@! is a business model and why you should care

By Michael Krigsman on June 30, 2015

Serious discussions of digital transformation invariably turn to business models and the changing relationship between a company and its customers. Business models play an essential role in defining the value that any organization delivers to its customers. When an industry or group fundamentally changes how it provides value, business model innovation is often involved. For […]

Book review–Kill the Company

Book review–Kill the Company

By Ben Kepes on July 23, 2012

I seem to be on the mailing list for book publishers wanting people to read and review new business tomes – that’s not such a bad thing – I get a heap of literature and a great way to expand my library. The most recent review copy I was sent was Kill the Company by […]

Did Apple finally get hitched?

Did Apple finally get hitched?

By Martijn Linssen on October 25, 2011

[Image by Roberta F.] Thanks to Peter Hicks for inspiring me for this title Lately I’ve noticed quite a few complaints regarding the upgrade to Apple’s iOS5. A few examples of that: the upgrade itself failing to complete, having to restore factory settings and lose all apps and files, battery draining like mad, Twitter failing […]

Of Kindles and Business Models and Stuff

Of Kindles and Business Models and Stuff

By Paul Miller on September 6, 2011

Over at TechCrunch, MG Siegler’s 2 September post on Amazon’s new Kindle has generated quite a storm. All across the web, media, bloggers, pundits, analysts and the rest are pointing to MG’s post, getting terribly excited about a new tablet that might actually challenge the iPad; something that so many others have patently failed to […]

The Post iPod Era

The Post iPod Era

By Dave Michels on June 20, 2011

In my personal version of Toy Story, my iPod plays the role of Woody – a former favorite toy that just can’t compete with the latest technical toys. It is hard to pinpoint when an era begins or ends, but I believe the iPod Era passed. I was an early adopter on the Apple iPod. […]

Sell Used Music on Redigi: A Threat to Apple’s iTunes?

Sell Used Music on Redigi: A Threat to Apple’s iTunes?

By Mark Fidelman on April 6, 2011

I remember a time when the only way to buy music was to drive down to the local music store and purchase a cassette tape.  You had to buy the whole album then.  Yes, I’m serious. When the tape got old or the music fell out of favor I threw it away, listed in the […]

Want to know why charging $12 / year converts higher than $9.99?

Want to know why charging $12 / year converts higher than $9.99?

By Mark Suster on February 3, 2011

As many of you know I run a weekly webcast called This Week in VC that’s getting between 25-35,000 weekly views across ThisWeekIn.com, YouTube & mostly iTunes. Yesterday’s show floored me. I consider Gregg Spiridellis a good friend. We’ve hung out periodically over the past few years and I have enjoyed debating many startup topics. […]

Mac App Store Insights

By Guest Authors on January 10, 2011

Its not in iTunes When hearing the news that the Mac AppStore was launched I immediately opened iTunes, but didn’t find it there. I went online and read that an OS X update is required so I ran Software Update – there was no iTunes update but there was an OS X update so I figured the […]

Business Analytics on the Samsung Galaxy Tab

Business Analytics on the Samsung Galaxy Tab

By Guest Authors on November 18, 2010

Earlier this week, I had a quick chance to use the new Samsung Galaxy Tab — the first serious tablet rival to the iPad — and check out its analytic / business intelligence capabilities. The device runs Android 2.2, which supports Adobe Flash, so the first thing I tried was a couple of dashboards suitable […]

Are You Still Using Your Real Credit Card Online?  You Shouldn’t.

Are You Still Using Your Real Credit Card Online? You Shouldn’t.

By Zoli Erdos on July 5, 2010

So iTunes got hacked and some users saw unauthorized purchases up to $600 in their accounts. I’m shocked.  Not at the fact that iTunes got hacked, but that users exposed their credit accounts to such extent.  Websites do get hacked, it’s a fact of life.  Users need to change their passwords, consider what other sites […]

SAP’s First Official iPhone Application

SAP’s First Official iPhone Application

By Guest Authors on November 10, 2009

Not What You Might Think No, SAP’s first official iPhone application is NOT the BusinessObjects Explorer iPhone Application that Marge Breya demonstrated during the keynote of SAP TechEd Vienna, and which Alexis Naibo of the SAP BusinessObjects Innovation Center used to win the Demo Jam contest. That application isn’t quite yet available on iTunes (but […]

Apple is Just as Sneaky as Microsoft, Dumping Software on Your Computer

Apple is Just as Sneaky as Microsoft, Dumping Software on Your Computer

By Zoli Erdos on September 27, 2009

Here we go again: Ed Bott points out how outrageous it is for Apple to install so-called “updates” to the iPhone Configuration Utility on a Windows computer that does not have this software installed, in fact one that has never had an iPhone or iPod connected to. He is right, this is obviously not an […]

Farting Our Way Through the Recession?

Farting Our Way Through the Recession?

By Zoli Erdos on December 30, 2008

Global warming. The U.S. losing its edge in science and technology. A growing income gap. And what are the best and the brightest working on? –asked Tim O’Reilly, Father-of-all-things-Web-2.0 at the  Web 2.0 Expo in September. Do you see a problem here?  You have to ask yourself, are we working on the right things? Some […]
