1. 先講三叔
引述Chinese Engadget︰
有人要在韓國媒體面前夾著尾巴逃跑囉,上週才喜滋滋的向大家宣佈三星將要推出線上音樂服務的三星數位媒體部門總裁 Choi Gee-sung,現在只能當眾自打嘴巴。建議Choi可以用「嗯,因為現在三星對經營線上音樂的服務沒什麼興趣」的藉口來推搪。
先因為平價供貨給 Apple 而受圍攻, 接著 Apple 決定飛起三叔, 然後三叔宣佈自行開展 online music store, 一星期後又反口。
Creative發表最新一季業績,盈利比上一年同一季度急降86%。星藉CEO,也即那個聲稱與蘋果打甚麼MP3 War的Sim Wong Hoo,指Creative盈利倒退是因為與蘋果激列的減價錢。故此,Creative決定要保持價格,不再減價,才能保得住盈利。
一年前, iPod Shuffle 還未推出, Creative 就大鑼大鼓要玩 price war, 結果一年後成績不升反跌, 其實 Creative 的所謂 price war, 價錢好像從未比 iPod 平宜過。 MarGrass 的評論有詳細提及, 可以參考。
So Sony… sorry, no more alliteration… says—damn—that their BMG induced spyware wasn’t so bad after all and that only malicious music companies would be able to ruin your PC. They did release a patch and said:
However to alleviate any concerns that users may have about the program posing potential security vulnerabilities, this update has been released to enable users to remove this component from their computers.
嗯, 在軟件上放 spyware, 還說沒有甚麼大不了, 又暗示其他人大驚小怪, SORRY 真不愧為我最喜愛的公司之一。「only malicious music companies would ruin your PC」, SORRY 不就是其中一間嗎? 還是 Gizmodo 夠絕︰「It’s like the guy who punches you in the bar and then backs off, calling you crazy.」
基本上, 有這種級數的對手, Apple 只要不犯大錯, 就足以維持皇者地位, 雖然很多人仍然以為 iPod 只是賣牌子。
