Uber drivers in Denmark must pay fine for every ride, supreme court rules
“We are changing the way we do business and are operating in line with local laws across Europe”
… Uber .. basically recognizing and saying that before this they were not.
“The important call to make is that Apple is making a bet that sustainability is a growth business.”
… The second different analysis of the morning about yesterday. In conjunction with Ben Thompson, we start to understand how against the grain Apple works.
“The purpose of yesterday’s keynote was less an exercise in selling a device and more a matter of informing self-selected segments which device they will ultimately buy, and for what price.”
Ben Thompson nails it … Great article on the click through.
Field Notes … Ok … I guess I am in …. easy to work out which way I am going …. Meanwhile there was some two and forth recently on covers for same … oh for proper search … can any one point / recommend ?
It Must Be Me. Not You.
That day you walk into a coffee bar with a big beautiful Espresso Machine behind the cashier.
“A latte please.
Sorry?
“A latte”
Cross talk behind the scenes asking someone else if they know what I was talking about.
A third person enters the scene ….
How can we help?
“A latte please.”
She turns to the two young kids …
Latte … It’s a coffee drink …
Oh … never heard of that … thank you.
Third person turns around and starts to make the drink … The coffee appears and she disappears behind a curtain, to emerge three minutes later with one of those ice blended abominations.
“No. sorry, I wanted a Latte.”
So you’ve changed your mind?
“No. Not at all. I have wanted a Latte since I came into the store.”
She turned around and made one.
It really is rather nice … But what did they THINK I was talking about?
…. and so with the Apple event behind us - let us return once more to rampant frivolity.
iPhoneX ‘r’
iPhoneX ‘s’
and should have been
iPhoneX ‘t’
… too obvious?
I am pretty sure that Phil just recites this stuff off the top of his head … no teleprompter needed … he rolls that way.
Can’t wait to have everyone listening and talking to their iPhones without headphones … I think Hieroymous Bosch painted that vision somewhere.
They need a ‘Chief Product Naming Officer’ at Apple.
Every year … “we are delighted to be releasing the most advanced iPhone we have ever created” … would be sad if it wasn’t … no?
Hermes … where the straps are four times the price of the watch.
All day battery life … that’s 18 hours … the space time continuum over at Cupertino must be something else!
Historical analysis to explain the day? We will see.
I was wondering how Kavanaugh was going to get away with it … He did seem to be and then today I read that Evidence of Kavanaugh Perjury Mounts After Durbin Releases More “Confidential” Documents … So maybe he won’t.
Algorithms to fix underrepresentation on Wikipedia
Now that is very cool.
Apple Events App downloaded and queued.
Coffee imbibing in process.
And though most of the news is going to be about the phones that are going to be the new iPhone X … I think I am more interested in everything else.
