Advertisers cling to TV

“This industry looks like it can’t get out of its own way…We need measurement of the audience and their use of the system that’s clear, simple and actionable for a marketer. You need comparability with other media.” So THAT’s the problem. That’s why Google grew its US ad revenue 46% in Q3 and the aggregate revenue of 18 traditional media companies grew 1%–because Internet media companies can’t make it simple.

Misunderstanding enterprise software

By perpetuating a false dichotomy between the friendliness of consumer apps and the seriousness of business apps, all that Krigsman is doing is giving enterprise vendors cover for continuing to produce software that’s difficult and unpleasant to use.

p ft. consumer software has been more “scalable” for years now. enterprise software is only more reliable in the sense that it doesn’t get used because the UI makes you want to stab yourself.

No Swiss DMCA

A dangerous law has been passed on the 5th October by both the Parliment and the National Council almost without resistance. The revision represents massive advances for legal protection of copy protection mechanisms. It is my conviction that such technical copy protection measures are of no merit for the consumer and will ultimately also harm the content producers. A law that puts such measures under special protection is hence just as ill advised.

i am really curious if my swiss friends will pull this off.
