Shipley on product whoring and other shipping theories

[Comment]

February 9th, 2008 in Links

Will Shipley talks about hype, product sluts, advertising, and licensing in his funny, smart way. Worth watching if you plan to release software, ever. I normally don’t post things from Daring Fireball (most people here read him already), but this talk is totally worth the 1.5 hours.

Order produce online, available in my area with free shipping. It’s like it’s 1999 again.

The Death of TCP/IP

The Death of TCP/IP
How do you push for the acceptance of a new protocol? First, make the old one unworkable by placing millions of exploitable TCP/IP stacks out on the Net, ready-to-use by any teenage sociopath. When the Net slows or crashes, the blame would not be assigned to Microsoft. Then ship the new protocol with every new copy of Windows, and install it with every Windows Update over the Internet. Zero to 100 million copies could happen in less than a year, and that year could be prior to the new protocol even being announced. It could be shipping right now.
