Dan Frommer put Microsoft’s recently reported 525 million Windows 7 licenses in perspective: Since…October, 2009, Apple has…

Netflix Discovers It Has a Marketing Problem

Adage reports that Netflix is replacing its chief marketing officer Leslie Kilgore. You don’t say? I’m nearly as surprised as I was when yesterday was Thursday.

Samsung Will Obliterate Apple with This Very Lame Super Bowl Ad

Samsung doesn’t seem to be able to beat Apple in their legal copycat battle. But at the very least, they’ll have this slightly insulting, mostly obvious, certainly expensive Super Bowl ad to help propagandize. War is all hell. https://gizmodo.com/samsung-has-like-totally-never-ever-copied-apple-5845036 The commercial—a clip of which you can watch above—portrays Apple fans as (ironically?) poorly-groomed, zealot sheep.…

Why People Love Beats By Dre Headphones

Part of it is branding, to be sure. But in Pitchfork’s Resonant Frequency column, Mark Richardson rails not against the quality of the Beats line of headphones and its signature, overloaded bass, but rather argues that they’re a viable alternative for a new era of music. Richardson’s main issue with audiophile logic—and something that I…

All Local News Teams Should Use Puppets Instead of Court Sketches

If you’re a local news outlet that’s been blocked from entering a courtroom to cover an event live, you have two options.
