Eric Herz called me freaking out, how do you find the rental movies at the iTunes Store?<\/p>\n
Then the blogs picked up the story.\u00c2\u00a0 There aren’t many movies available for rental, and it’s almost impossible to find all of them at the iTunes Store.\u00c2\u00a0 Does Jobs not have a complete, easily accessible list of rentals so no one will see how pitifully short it is?<\/p>\n
Are you buying a MacBook Air?\u00c2\u00a0 Are you willing to forgo an ethernet connection?\u00c2\u00a0 How long until every hotel is wireless?\u00c2\u00a0 Hell, you’ve got a router at home.\u00c2\u00a0 As for the SuperDrive…\u00c2\u00a0 It is an extra machine, it is a business machine, right?\u00c2\u00a0 If you’ve only got one computer, buy a MacBook Pro.\u00c2\u00a0 But if you’re going on the road, or surfing in bed, is a MacBook Air sufficient?<\/p>\n
Did you buy an iMac without a floppy?\u00c2\u00a0 The one with only USB?<\/p>\n
When was the last time you bought a serial peripheral?<\/p>\n
Are you looking forward or backward?<\/p>\n
This is what got the record business in trouble…\u00c2\u00a0 Looking backward.\u00c2\u00a0 So worried about physical retail that it made online acquisition free!\u00c2\u00a0 Is the movie business about to do the same thing?<\/p>\n
Read Seth Godin’s blog about this.\u00c2\u00a0 The guy’s fucking right.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s looking to the future, not worried about preserving a past that’s built on quicksand.\u00c2\u00a0 The movie studios are so busy protecting the DVD cash cow that they’re driving people to BitTorrent.\u00c2\u00a0 Because you can’t get what you want when you want it legitimately online.<\/p>\n
Seth is right.\u00c2\u00a0 Make it so cheap it’s not worth it to steal.\u00c2\u00a0 Build a business that scales.\u00c2\u00a0 So you can make money in the future.<\/p>\n
Read this.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s brilliant.<\/p>\n
