“Guy English: People who understand how Apple works and who comment upon it regularly should apply themselves to understanding the problems Apple faces. It’s good sport to shoot down the loons, that’s for sure. That’s easy. It’s time to criticize the champ.”

“Seth Godin: In the digital world, the more free samples you give away, the better you do. The miserly mindset that afflicts the merchant watching inventory walk out the door at the market is counterproductive in the digital world. That’s because more free samples cost you nothing. The scarce resources in the connection revolution are connection, attention and trust, not molecules, atoms or strawberries.”

“John Biggs, TechCrunch.com: Amazon, for the longest time, served as a final lifeline for the paper publishing industry and it seems that (the DOJ lawsuit against the Big 5 book publishers’ efforts to fix the prices Amazon must charge for ebooks) is a way to strip the last vestige of respect from those gatekeepers who, for far too long, made the sale of ideas a process of getting widgets onto shelves. Like the CD makers before them, they just don’t want to give up what has served the industry for so long and so lucratively.”
