Apple's Jobs doesn't see threats to iPod - report

NEW YORK, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) doesn't expect the iPod media player to be hurt by Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) Zune, Chief Executive Steve Jobs said in a magazine interview. >> REUTERS

Gotshrimp >> I agree with Steve. MSFT hasn't been able to come up with a compelling media experience. I beleive the reason is the lack of inspiration from a user point of view. Apple has created the standard, the minimum requirement of a good service and device or vise versa ;-) So keep it simple and slowly build the experience to a more compelling one would my advise be. I love to see the market developing just as we thought two years ago..

Yes why, I like movie film, but got kicked out for the board of FOX

Digital rights management remains a big issue

Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places?          If people do not recognize me and it doesn't bother me, am I not a Superior Man?

Congratulations dear Sas und Steef

What a crazy time

At this moment in time things get busier than ever. Its hard to find the right people for our ventures since bubble 2.0 has hit mass market levels and all good people are working. (A good thing BTW)

IIP will soon launch  and we will get the chance to prove our concept, but like  anything that isn't there already you need to make everybody understand why the world will be better of with you. In a world where everything (or almost everything) already exist and small details make the difference this is hard. Not because its difficult to explain, but because its difficult for people to understand the effects small nuances have on large structures.

The proof is in the eating of the pudding they say and thats just what we will do. The challenge is huge and with a world full of greed and lack of transparrency it will be hard to make the critical mass beleive we are better of with full disclosure and honest sharing. Only those that add value should be rewarded accordingly and if they do a super good job in creating value they should get super returns. Is this just a dream or can we really make that fly? I yesterday watched an interesting piece on Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) about technology. It made me beleive even more in what we do at IIP and the track we have chosen to empower businesses doing business instead of wanting to own their piece and doing this with a group of people that beleive that two can do more than one is already a dream come true. (OK, it was very late ;-)

India

Yesterday I met with a great guy from Dehli. He is a venture capital guy and runs a business focussed on Europe and India. I have to say that it keeps surprising me to see the great talent India has and hope that the western world will do more than just follow the opportunity to make money. Their is much more to get from India and economic growth is just a small part of what we can really achieve together. Why do we fear the power to be? Sometimes it feels like India is trying to do what we in the west do to hold on to prosperity, the fact is we fuck up the planet and most of it's inhibitants, will India follow the same route? It makes me feel happy to see that clever people think along the same lines and are actually building a base of change and influence. Dare to share....

Ben toch maar gaan stemmen ;-)

Re-virgin at L43

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of celebrating the first L43 hosted event Re-virgin. A mix crowd from all over the world joined together for a very nice dinner, opera, magic and discussions about this sliding world. For a first time it was a super cool event and the people that attended were pretty nice ;-) Thanks Simone, Eckhart and many others for a fantastic night.

Jason woke up early ;-)

On my way to models at work, Jason for a cup of coffee and a bizzy day.
