Here is a New York Times Magazine article about Apple, the iPod, marketing, product development and management.
We contend that this Community can produce a Super TiVo-like device that integrates the network into the use of the content itself. The Pegasos is building block #1 to any competent computing environment and the necessary tool required by the developer support enlisted to customize the platform for consumer use. A Pegasos computer is a desktop machine. A Pegasos computer enclosed in a fan-less VCR-like size case becomes a consumer product: a black box. The Pegasos black box operates equally well with a television screen or a computer monitor. The Pegasos black box could come with its own file sharing and downloading programs -- music, movies, video games – a preference is selected, a source found, the entertainment begins. The technology would be invisible to the entertainment experience. The consumer manages the experience through an easily understood user interface with a remote control or through a web browser and a keyboard for more sophisticated users. As the hub of the Home Entertainment Center high fidelity sound/audio can now be introduced through the 24/7 broadband Internet connection to bring existing home stereo equipment back into use. Here the Pegasos black box can be positioned to be a consumer product that would do to a TV set what MP3 did to music – any show any time.

...another interesting article : Comment 36 of 56 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Daniel Miller on 30-Nov-2003 23:09 GMT | In reply to Comment 3 (shut the f&^%& up): Wow, 209.86.254.207 is really mad. He's righteously indignant and speaking up for the masses. But somehow he's -just- -not- -quite- mad enough to screw up his courage to the point where he can put his name on his words. Oh well, maybe the mad anonymous coward will one day realize that people would take him more seriously if he stands up behind his words, instead of maintaining the quick comfortable retreat route of namelessness.
You say you are sorry to the website owner, but if you really had any respect you wouldn't take such sorry cheap shot flames and stink up the place like that.
The digital convergence device BBRV is postulating about is a good subject to discuss here. There are a lot of us Amigans who appreciate that Genesi includes us as a target market, and that BBRV listens to what we have to say and is engaged on a daily basis with the community. So you don't speak for us, and you don't speak for any masses, in fact you don't even speak for yourself. You just put a bunch of stupid anonymous insults together and that's not worth anything. It's a good thing nobody takes you seriously. |
