Ira Glass:

All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we havegood taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years youmake stuff, it?s just not that good. It?s trying to be good,it has potential, but it?s not. But your taste, the thing thatgot you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why yourwork disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase,they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative workwent through years of this.

From a brief transcript of this video.

His top choice is the same as mine: My-Cast. It’s a really crowded market but it’s largely filled with junk. See also: Marco Arment.

Invention Is in Our DNA and Technology Is the
Fundamental Tool We Wield to Evolve and Improve Every Aspect of the Experience We Provide Our Customers.

Jeff Bezos, in his annual letter to Amazon shareholders:

State management is the heart of any system that needs to grow tovery large size. Many years ago, Amazon?s requirements reached apoint where many of our systems could no longer be served by anycommercial solution: our key data services store many petabytes ofdata and handle millions of requests per second. To meet thesedemanding and unusual requirements, we?ve developed severalalternative, purpose-built persistence solutions, including ourown key-value store and single table store.

I.e., if Amazon weren’t a serious technology company capable of inventing what it needed, if Amazon were “just a store”, its growth would have been limited by technology.

Jobs, Schiller, and Forstall Talk to Mobilized
About Location Data and the White iPhone 4

post from Daring Fireball on 27 April 2011 06:05:17 PM. © Daring Fireball

Nice scoop by Ina Fried: a phone interview with Steve Jobs, Phil Schiller, and Scott Forstall.

Fried: A bunch of folks on the regulatory side, both in the U.S.and elsewhere, said they are going to look into this. Do you guysplan on testifying before Congress? How active do you personallyand does Apple want to be?
Jobs: I think Apple will be testifying. They have asked us to comeand we will honor their request, of course. I think it is greatthat they are investigating this and I think it will beinteresting to see how aggressive or lazy the press is on this interms of investigating the rest of the participants in theindustry and finding out what they do. Some of them don?t dowhat we do. That?s for sure.

In a separate article, she talks to Phil Schiller about long-awaited white iPhone 4.
