  • How Steve Jobs Fleeced Carly Fiorina (medium.com)

    HP agreed to pre-load Apple’s iTunes music software and store into its personal computers. This was a hugely valuable concession. Apple had only recently begun to push this key software into the Windows world. Millions of HP/Compaq customers would instantly become part of Apple’s entertainment ecosystem.

  • Bad product names confuse me (www.barelyusable.com)
    X is a Y which/for Z. It’s for V. Replace X with your product name. Replace Y with one of the choices: If it’s something on your computer, it’s a “program” > or “application”. If it needs WWW, and I need a browser for it, it’s a “service” It it needs both, it’s a “solution” or “environment” (and perhaps a > service too) If it needs hardware, it’s a “platform” or an “infrastructure” Replace Z with a short sentence which must have one of the verbs: Build Test Deploy etc. Replace V with your potential customer name. So let’s try: X = Docker Y = Solution Z = Sandboxing programs V = Developers and sysadmins. Result: Docker is an environment for sandboxing programs. It’s for developers and sysadmins.

    viewing a candidate's behavior and displayed competence on IRC networks is more useful in ways that that Github and StackExchange possibly can't provide.

  • What Happened When Marissa Mayer Tried to Be Steve Jobs - NYTimes.com (www.nytimes.com)
    Generally speaking, there are only a few ways to make money on the Internet. There are e-commerce companies and marketplaces — think Amazon, eBay and Uber — that profit from transactions occurring on their platforms. Hardware companies, like Apple or Fitbit, profit from gadgets. For everyone else, though, it more or less comes down to advertising.

  • How Does FreeConferenceCall.com Make Money?

    I've always been surprised at how freeconferencecall.com never tries to up-sell me on monthly services. The least I'd expect is that their call recording service would come at a price, or they'd remove the "welcome to freeconferencecall.com" announcement from the greeting if I pay them something.

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
