Garry Hare Interview Now ONLINE : Comment 19 of 364 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Joe "Floid" Kanowitz on 26-Mar-2004 15:45 GMT | It's hard to think of a worse idea than handing out 'fake' business cards, but such is marketing. They're only paper, and if they were presented as "This is what could happen," well, it's always going to be a battle of words.
(Three or five more companies down the line, I'm sure someone will inkjet off some $100s as a mockup of how much money OS8 could earn.)

So, fast-forwarding to strategy:
Question 3.9: Prior to the public announcement of your company's stake in Amiga technologies, Amiga Inc. drew some broad stroke objectives for the development and convergence of two technical innovations, the revived AmigaOS and DE type developments. Broadly speaking does KMOS share a similar outlook?
Garry: It isn't really KMOS' view that matters. We are proceeding to meet the needs of specific customers. I guess you could say that is our "strategy". I've proven, several times, that I'm not smart enough to accurately anticipate markets. My partners might be, but I keep arguing they aren't either.
Whew. First thought, combined with the earlier OS statement, "Yep, he's sick of services and ready to drive a platform." Second thought, "Wait, he's not confident he can predict on a platform, so he's going to build it through services." Hnhh. You're screwed either way these days, and this is how MS, Sun, and everyone else ended up doing it, so I guess what really matters is the availability of what's produced outside the deal with the mystery customer/product. As long as a company's product is available RANDly, they have the option of finding more customers, and aren't completely screwed if the miracle proves a CD-i instead of a C64... If their actual product is NDA, private, back-room... Say hi to Sharp, Sendo, Symbian and Nokia.
I am contracting with the best information management firm I know to help set a structure for information and retrieval over a restricted access site.
Just don't shoot yourself in the foot. ('Deny by default' is secure policy, but if your users can't get out on port 80, they're going to pick another ISP.)

Ever notice that the more computing gets 'commoditized,' the harder it is to buy something and make use of it? Either companies won't sell it to you, or they'll nickel-and-dime you to death if you buy in.

Oh well, patiently waiting for something technical, and hoping some 'Club'/post-Club benefits will continue that won't demand permanent non-disclosure. |
