Apple vs PC vs the old Apple

The PC vs Old Apple ads were a riot – we couldn’t wait for the next one to come out. They perfectly took what we all disliked about PCs and applied it to the new Apple world (still not enough for me to change). If these commercials were to be done today – the message would be completely different – the new Apple vs the old Apple or the new Apple vs PC – as many would agree that both systems are better than the new Apple. But if you’re looking to send a message of change on your next

The First Release

After my last post I got to thinking about what should be in a first release to make it worth the download, worth the “Get” from the App Store. Sometimes you need to ship the imperfect ship to get it out the door and start getting feedback from customers, but if it’s a dog’s breakfast you are shipping, it will be a dog’s feedback you will receive from your customers. Some general thoughts on what makes a first release succeed; Establish Table Stakes – this is the minimum quantity of what must exist in the release to be considered a
