Money for nothing, Web browsers for free
Update to yesterday’s post and also an earlier one about Apple’s new version of Safari for Windows. Why would Apple develop a product for Windows? Aren’t they arch rivals and bitter enemies?

Confirmed: I'm not crazy
Safari for Windows is supposed to be faster than either Microsoft’s IE or open-source Firefox. Steve Jobs says it’s faster, so it must be true, right? But that certainly wasn’t my experience.

And as anyone can tell, it’s crappy. Choppy and misshapen, it […]
Are you attracting the wrong kind of customer?
Who’s your perfect customer? You don’t need to be an FBI profiler to pin down the kind of customer you want. Now consider: What kind does your marketing actually attract?
