Apple is now backpedaling on a recent initiative to decrease retail staffing and make cuts at some of their more “bloated” international stores. This is the second high-profile acknowledgment of a “mistake” on Apple’s part in recent weeks, with Apple … Continue reading

Love the URL for the letter — signifies the forward movement this startup company has with the partnership.
Link: Double Down on Facebook (In the UK) →
Though I expected credits and payments to be a good move to generate revenue, a casino game seems just… shady. Not to mention far from the image of Facebook which “connects people.”

Thom Heins, Blackberry CEO: We don’t have the economy of scale to compete against the guys who crank out 60 handsets a year. To deliver BB10 we may need to look at licensing it to someone who can do this … Continue reading
Link: The Daily Lays Off 50 Staffers →
The Daily is a good idea in principle — as tablet marketshare goes up, so will news media on tablets. The issue is the experience continues to be subpar compared to free alternatives. Slow loading times, laggy page turns, and … Continue reading

YouTube has said it is going to put another 200 million dollars into its channels that it began experimenting with 8 months ago. YouTube has launched close to 100 channels and attracted a few big names thus far.

Nintendo reports Q1 loss overall, but the sales of 3DS consoles is telling: Sales of its 3DS, launched in February last year, more than doubled to 1.86 million from 710,000. Weak demand for its latest console forced Nintendo to slash … Continue reading

Microsoft provides monetization details for developers. In contrast to Apple, the lowest priced apps will cost $1.49. Psychologically, the $.99 price point has always been impulsive. I know many would think it is no big deal to spend “a dollar.” … Continue reading
