  • andrewbaron: End of Rant. :P

    05:22:50 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: It's best to try & imagine the long-term strategy and where it could lead. And be glad SOMEONE is pushing things forward.

    05:21:45 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Eventually, as the world caught on, Apple loosened the reigns with their lock down on the iPhone, so more & more apps could be created.

    05:19:38 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Or a 2-year old as we have seen. It was smart of Apple to not include it. And it was smart to limit the platform, initially.

    05:18:47 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: It was too complex. People needed time to adjust to the new thing in a simple way. A way that even mom and dad could figure out.

    05:18:03 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Remember when the iPhone came out and there was no copy & paste? People were pissed & dumbfounded.

    05:16:58 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: And if you choose $aapl, its best to hop on and go for the ride.

    05:16:21 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: In the end, its all good because the end user is what matters. Isnt this who everyone is developing for? These people have choices.

    05:15:52 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: And finally, the end user gets stuck with the bill. Now they have to pay for the iPhone AND the iPad versions. What an industry, eh?

    05:14:12 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: And the clients would soon realize that they would now have two products to sell instead of just one.

    05:12:23 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: But soon these developers would realize that in needing to recreate the same thing, but different, they would get to charge clients.

    05:11:58 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: When I loaded up an iPhone app on the iPad for the first time, and hit 2X, I could see the WTFs in unison f/developers all around the world

    05:09:55 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: And remember they are a business too, one of the biggest in the world. Of course you are going to pay for this, nothing about Apple is cheap

    05:08:41 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: With the iPad, & Apple's OS's, these moves aren't against you personally, as a developer. They are tactics to keep the dogs f/their mission.

    04:58:59 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Apple justified their stance against Adobe Flash by saying it unnecessarily bogs down their hardware, and thus provides bad experience.

    04:57:36 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Aside: Granted the Nexus1 is not quite as nice. ;)

    04:52:08 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: But eventually the dogs would catch up. Google's Nexus1 w/Android is a splitting image of the iPhone & its open, free, so there, you have it

    04:50:48 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: When the iPhone came out, all these same arguments came out. Same w/ the app store too. Limits, limits, limits.

    04:49:10 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Now think about what's going to happen long-term, this is more to the strategy. And also the reason why you can just go along w/the tactics.

    04:47:28 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Also, you happen to have as a big mission statement "quality of design". But if you open up the designs you get what looks like Myspace.

  • andrewbaron: RT @Digeratii: BREAKING: TWITTER BUYS HAMBURGER BECAUSE THERE WASN'T REALLY ANYTHING ELSE AROUND AT THE TIME

    03:23:47 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Twitter buying Tweetie is a win for sure, it's the best app and has A++ interface design.

    03:23:34 am on April 10, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: RT @atebits: Twitter is now the proud owner of Tweetie! More details on the Twitter blog http://bit.ly/Hljp3 and from me: http://bit.ly ...

  • andrewbaron: Oh Brother. Here we go again. Telecoms say Google should pay extra for delivery of "bandwidth-hungry" YouTube content http://bit.ly/caxYQJ

  • andrewbaron: There appears to be a movement today to sell $aapl shares in a show of disaproval for the closed dev system: http://j.mp/ani9Lm

    04:00:36 pm on April 9, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Also, if 3rd party apps have grown, so should Twitter propotionately. Think about it: There's been no innovation @ Twitter, it's getting old

    12:56:10 pm on April 9, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Not buying the argument about 3rd party useage, Twitter has been trying to improve as a destination site over last year.

    12:50:05 pm on April 9, 2010 |

     

  • andrewbaron: Not impressed with 'Dr Horrible... the GAME!' http://mag.ma/unsfl8 Its due time to create some NEW content instead of regurgitating the old.
