Apple reportedly joins talks with cell providers to launch new ‘e-SIM’ cards | Jonathan Tarud
http://jonathant.com/2015/07/21/apple-reportedly-joins-talks-with-cell-providers-to-launch-new-e-sim-cards
Apple reportedly joins talks with cell providers to launch new ‘e-SIM’ cards. This would be a welcomed feature. I carry a small pouch filled with SIM cards. The idea behind the talks is a universal standard for embedded SIM cards ( e-SIM ) that are built into the phone and not user accessible. These subscriber identity modules would allow customers to sign up for service on any network they wanted, then allow them to switch at any time (obviously with some limitations placed by the carriers).

Don’t follow your heroes | Jonathan Tarud
http://jonathant.com/2015/07/28/dont-follow-your-heroes
Don’t follow your heroes. If you wanted to start a successful software company today, you wouldn’t want to follow Bill Gates’ playbook. Creating a new desktop operating system, and an expensive office suite of applications to run on top of it, won’t work in 2015. It worked for him in the 80’s and 90’s, but that was a different time. Understand what others did, but don’t try to copy. It usually never works for many reason. I learned this the hard way.

Speed as a Habit. Dave Girouard writing for First Round Review:. I’ve long believed that speed is the ultimate weapon in business. All else being equal, the fastest company in any market will win. Speed is a defining characteristic if not the defining characteristic of the leader in virtually every industry you look at.

Google’s product strategy: Make two of everything | Jonathan Tarud
http://jonathant.com/2015/07/14/googles-product-strategy-make-two-of-everything
Google’s product strategy: Make two of everything. Found this on Hacker News after I posted the previous link about Google’s cost cutting. Ron Amdeo from Ars Tecnica wrote this back in October 2014:. Google likes to have multiple, competing products that go after the same user base. That way, if one product doesn’t work out, hopefully the other one will. Throwing shit at the wall to see if it’ll stick will work eventually but not the best strategy.
