Seeing It

post from Daring Fireball on 31 December 2011 06:03:47 PM. © Daring Fireball

Benjamin Jackson:

Here?s what I think Gruber was trying to say: at Apple, thepeople making the products are making them for the 99% of userswho don?t give a damn about having the absolute latesttechnology in their phones.
This is not to say they don?t care about their phones, just thatthey don?t know, or care, what goes on inside them. Chances are,they never will. They have other things they care about: baseball,their child, the Euro. They?re the people who have no idea whatLTE means, or how many megapixels the top smartphones can packinto a light sensor. They just want their phone to work, and theywant it to work well. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

Close, but not quite what I meant. It’s about priorities. Every mass market phone maker wants 99 percent consumer appeal. The only company I’m aware of that’s building phones for the “one percent” is Vertu and they’re a joke. The question is how? How do you appeal to the sweet spot of the market where most of the money is and most of the people are? Almost every other company than Apple is doing this the same way the computer industry always has: tech specs. Speeds and feeds, gigahertz, megapixels, megabits-per-second. This is why so many people attribute Apple’s success to “marketing” as an explanation of how their products can lead in sales but not in specs.

But they misunderstand what good marketing really is. Here’s how Apple does marketing in a nutshell: Make a great product, then let people know about it. That’s it. Neither aspect of that is easy, but the important thing is it has to happen in that order. It all starts with a great product.

And a great product is defined by the experience of actually using it (including buying it and setting it up) — not by its individual components’ technical specifications.

Tap To It introduces Mock Job Interview 1.0.1, an iOS app geared toward job seekers.

To make the app more realistic, all questions presented to the user are random and cannot be chosen beforehand.

Robert Khoo on the Business Side of Penny Arcade

post from Daring Fireball on 31 December 2011 05:02:38 PM. © Daring Fireball

From a Q&A on Reddit:

What would you say is the biggest perk about your job?
I can honestly say it’s being able to build and run a company in a way that I always thought companies SHOULD be run. We have no outside investors. We don’t bend to client pressure. Our only responsibility is to our readers. Being able to make business decisions each and every day with absolute clarity is something I think every business guy would be envious of.

Perfect.

This Will Be Fun a Year From Now

post from Daring Fireball on 31 December 2011 04:02:52 PM. © Daring Fireball

Brian Deagon, Investors Business Daily:

Apple will lose its cool factor.
With the iPod, iPhone and iPad, Apple redefined markets and defined cool. But what’s left? The iPhone is boxy, flat and feeling stale. The Samsung Galaxy smartphone seems cooler. With Google’s Android platform now the fastest-growing mobile OS, Apple’s software advantage will diminish. Smartphones and tablets will become commodity items and Apple will be eaten by the collective Android gang. Apple’s next big hope is the TV market, a tough nut to crack and where Samsung is king.
