Yes, sometimes this is true.
I’m pretty sure the Iconfactory doesn’t need help to kickstart a new social media app. The Apple echo chamber would have written, talked, shared, and gushed about it, if they just launched it themselves instead of it being a Kickstarter project.
The original Iron Chef is infinitely better than the American Food Network version. The English dub is just chef’s kiss emoji, perfect.
Om Malik writing about Apple Vision Pro
Regardless of what Apple says about “spatial computing” and “working” on Vision Pro, I believe this is the future of TV!
Yeah.
Okay.
Sure.
$3,500 (for the base unit) for a headset instead of less than $1,000 for a TV. I don’t see that being the future of TV.
Who do you think has the power in the business relationship between FedEx and Apple?
Hint: Market cap does not factor
Wasn’t the United States supposed to ban Tik Tok?
I like the HEY email idea. I do not like the HEY email price. I don’t think I’ll be paying $100 a year for a service that I currently get for free. The value isn’t there for me.
Paul Kafasis wonders about shipping Hallmark cards and exposes the hidden reality of e-commerce.
It is no longer about effiicient shipping. It is all about “get it to the customer as fast as possible” shipping.
You can thank Amazon for that change. Everyone chases Amazon shipping as the standard
Apple announced you’ll be able to link out of your app to your website for an external purchase as long as you follow their rules and pay them 27% of any digital goods you sell for the trouble of opening the browser from your app.
Chefs kiss. Perfect no notes.
Woody Harrelson is the perfect Haymitch in The Hunger Games.
Hey @vincent did you know paddle was inputting tracking pixels in your Tinylytics payment email?
I know, or at least I’m pretty sure, you’re not putting those in there. Just wanted you to be aware of it. At least, HEY email thinks there’s a tracking pixel in the email.
This painting by Sebastian Pether, Bay of Naples, looks like it could be Mt. Doom.
Donald Drumpf on the Civil War
This man baby couldn’t even negotiate himself out of a paper bag.
A most excellent lunch.
The social media world would be a better place if we had originally called “influencers” advertisers because that’s what they are.
They are not influencing me to buy something; they are advertising a product or products or “lifestyle”.
TL;DR - Stupid “News” Story of the Day
Special Counsel Has Spent $12 Million Prosecuting Trump
The US government budget is $6 Trillion dollars. That is 0.0002% of the budget.
Always More.
My random hot take at 12:30 am on a Friday night.
Google and SEO didn’t “ruin” the internet. People “ruined” the internet, and they didn’t even ruin it, because it’s not ruined. It’s just more. More internet, more people, more ads, more scams, more SEO, to get more eyeballs, to get more money. More. More. More. More.
Always more.
Tech pundits and keyboard warriors all over the place want to blame someone - one - person, company, product, service. It’s always one’s fault. This time it isn’t one’s fault. It’s all our fault. We caused it. We let it happen. Only we can solve it. And it isn’t building the same silos and mega sites and caring about page views, or page ranks, or any of the other shit that has brought us here.
If you think the internet is ruined it is because you ruined it.
Because the internet is not ruined. You’ve just been sucked into areas of the internet you think are ruined. There’s untold websites out there that you know absolutely nothing about. It’s not Google’s fault. It’s not Facebook’s fault. It’s not Twitter’s fault. It’s not SEO’s fault. It’s not AI’s fault. It’s yours. Because you’re human.
We are not meant to know everything, be everywhere, hear everything, see everything.
Quit worrying about how the internet will be saved from big tech. Go build something on the internet that doesn’t involve big tech just to build something on the internet. Share it with your friends. Or don’t. Totally up to you. Quit blaming something for ruining something that is not ruined.
