Microsoft Moves For Long Haul; Apple Needs To Take Notes,Pt 6
By Chris A. Heidelberg, III, Publisher & Executive Producer
The truth is that the media companies still do not get the net and will not for a while because of the fact that suites and not creative types took over MSM (mainstream media) from the time of the AT&T breakup until 2006, The fact that the networks put up their own ad driven sites makes no difference their content will still be limited even if they collude as NBC and Fox are with Hulu on the web, Fortunately for Apple they already have the devices, the outlets, and the computers; all Apple needs to do is to create an additional outlet that is a hybrid of its iTunes and .mac outlet and MARKET it hard! This will also enable Apple to develop its movie rental download and subscription movie and music downloads for consumers who want it.
Moreover, Apple will be able to develop its own original content and user generator based network, AppleTv, for independent and new content producers and make it ad based by partnering with Google. In truth, Apple should develop its own label and studio for new producers, artists, and directors and really get behind it to develop some compelling and quality content that embraces digital technology, The music labels and studios would really have to deal with them then, They could really market their AppleTv and iTunes Network as an entire network for the independent, underdog and edgy groups, artists and producers,
Finally, Apple will find by developing AppleTv it will become a bigger version of Facebook. I cannot believe that Microsoft is taking chances like Apple is known to do and Apple is using the old software iPhone bricking tactic. It is like Bizarro Land out here, but money makes good people act irrational in short term situations. Alright let's see what Apple does they always seem to come up with something to shut up the critics. I guess that means mean me? But I like Mac, so I guess I am not caught in the distortion field that some say Dr. Jobs has. Well Steve, I have given you new keys to car, start her up and make these things happen! We know something is up on the social networking side because of your now famous interview with Bill Gates. Just do it man, shock the world again. I know this is not all that you've got. You cannot retire until after you have Apple winning the HD conversion war with your convergence tools!
