Filed under: Rumors, Steve JobsFirst the good news. Dan Lyons, the man behind Fake Steve Jobs, has suggested that his fictional alter-ego may be ready for a return. Earlier in the summer, Dan left his job at Forbes for Newsweek, and stopped writing as Fake Steve in the process.However, this week he starts that Newsweek job, and told Mac Soda that Fake Steve is to be a part of that. Which is great, as Fake ...

Las cosas podrían ser todavía más deprimentes, porque al saber que existe un documento de 52 páginas que describe dicho ordenador o calmará a los fanáticos, o hará que las ansias por tenerlo sean aún peores.

Filed under: アップルブルームバーグが27日に、間違ってアップル CEO、スティーブ・ジョブズの死亡記事の草稿を配信、後に撤回するという事件がありました。米国の様々な媒体が伝えるところによればジョブズ死亡はまったくの誤報で、御本人は生きていらっしゃるようです。ブルームバーグからどのような記事が配信されていたかについては GAWKER の記事で知ることができますが、それによれば「(実際に死亡が確認されたときに)コメントを求めるべき相手: スティーブ・ウォズニアック、ジョン・ルビンスタイン (元 iPod 事業担当)、Heidi Roizen (ジョブズの元彼女)、ラリー・エリソン、アル・ゴア、ビル・ゲイツ、...」といったものや、「株価が下落した場合: この株価の下落は投資家やアナリストには予想されていたことで...Gene Munster によれば...ジョブズがアップルを去った場合には25%程度は下がることが予想されていた」などの内容が用意されていたようです。新聞社などではこの種の死亡記事を準備しておくのはよくあることで、今回もそうした準備稿を誤って配信してしまったものと思われます。[Via Engadget, CNET]Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Bloomberg is saddened to report the death of Steve Jobs. More saddened: Steve Jobs, clawing feverishly at the silk-lined lining of his casket while the dying light of his battery-deprived iPhone casts a symbolically significant "Golden Egg" upon the claustrophobic walls of his journalistic entombment. Bloomberg's piece is lovingly wrought and almost religiously reverent. Jobs full title is prominently displayed in the headline: "Arbiter of Cool Technology XXXX," the successor to a line of divinely ...

两天前，苹果公司的市值超过了谷歌。 数据交汇在 1588 亿美元附近的时候，你可以想象美国加州库布提诺几栋办公楼里响起的零星欢呼。我们或许可以说：“苹果终于变成了一家比谷歌还大的大公司了”。 但这对于苹果公司的股东们来说，却未必是一件值得高兴的事情。不知不觉间，苹果公司版图扩张的速度正在与其一贯内向的管理方式产生脱节。 我们曾经将史蒂夫·乔布斯称为“全世界最微观管理的完美主义者 CEO 之一”。但不要忘记，“微观管理”不等于专注细节。实际上，它根本算不上是个褒义词——“微观管理”通常用来形容员工团队已经充分证明自己的执行能力之后，控制欲极强的老板却依然要对所有细节指手画脚的管理方式。 凭借微观管理的方式，乔布斯可以用惊人的速度在1997年重返苹果公司之后接连创造一个个商业奇迹，逆转颓势并达到今天的高峰。“撼山易，撼乔布斯难”，这是《商业周刊》在报道苹果期权问题时使用过的大标题。 最新的正面案例是苹果的 MobileMe 。在这款产品发布的当天，2008年6月9日，谷歌公司的内部邮件组在同一主题下出现了成百上千的回复。他们惊讶于苹果这个长期在互联网领域毫无建树的公司，可以迅速创造出一个在概念和用户体验上遥遥领先的云端服务。 但也正是这种控制一切的管理风格，让苹果始终陷于“小公司”的无形桎梏。一个为 iMac 模型表面上一颗若隐若现的螺丝而大发雷霆并立即把员工踢出公司的小心眼老板，如何在了不起的产品线之外构建一间真正伟大的公司呢？ 苹果公司宏伟的平台化战略日渐明晰，无所不至的管理方法也随之失效。聪明绝顶的乔布斯当然明白这点——他正在试着放手，但结果却扇了他一记耳光。 回到 MobileMe 。这个线上服务在7月11日正式开放注册之后遭到了如潮的抨击——糟糕的服务质量、大量的数据丢失、艰涩的用户体验让《纽约时报》为它取了一个绰号：MobileMess (移动混乱) 。乔布斯站出来悔过，说这玩意儿根本没有达到苹果水准，但也于事无补。 “要记住，放话让 MobileMe 通过的也是史蒂夫。”后来，参与此项目的苹果前雇员指出了症结所在，“最大的失败在于苹果公司对‘计划失败’的容忍能力，在于项目组不愿意告诉史蒂夫‘我们还没有准备好’。” 项目组负责人曾经信誓旦旦地说：一切就绪，而乔布斯也决定充分交出自己的信任。 经历了这样的事情，乔布斯还会不会在他的“放手之旅”上走出坚定的下一步？答案是肯定的，只是这种转变或许需要更长的过程。再偏执的自我沉迷者，也知道自己终有因体力不支而交权的一天。况且这一天曾经离苹果只有咫尺之遥。 收放之间，可以清晰地看到这家公司成长的烦恼。从这样一个角度来观察眼下的苹果，所有动向都会显得分外有趣。

Namely, users have downloaded some 60 million programs for the iPhone representing sales of about $30 million since the launch last month -- a 30/70 revenue split between Apple and developers, respectively.
