...329 comments, 309 called-out Comment Now Follow Comments Image via CrunchBase Microsoft needed a great Christmas season. After years of product stagnation, and a big market shift toward mobile devices from PCs, Microsoft’s future relied on the company seeing customers demonstrate they were ready to jump in heavily for Windows8 products – including the new Surface tablet. But that did not happen. With the data now coming it, it is clear the market movement away from Microsoft products, toward Apple and Android products, has not changed. On Christmas eve, as people turned on their new devices and launched their first tweet, Surface came in dead last – a mere 2% compared to the number of people tweeting from iPads. (Kindle was second, Android third.) Looking at more traditional units shipped information, UBS analysts reported Surface sales were 5% of iPads shipped. And usability reviews continue to run highly negative for Surface and Win8. Including CNNMoney’s well thought out article about why transitional products like Surface have an inherent, likely insurmountable design failure.

Five CEOs Who Should Have Already Been Fired (Cisco, GE, WalMart, Sears, Microsoft) Adam Hartung Contributor This inability to make a big splash, and mount a serious attack on Apple/Android domination, is bad news for Microsoft especially because we now know that traditional PC...

...Security Mac Viruses Many Mac users believe their systems are impervious to threats. This is a naïve falsity of course because no computer system is invulnerable. It is a known fact that Windows can be very prone to virus infections, but since there are so little Mac viruses, people like to get it in their heads that it isn’t possible. Mac OS X is built on the UNIX kernel, one of the most secure operating systems. UNIX creates a file system in which the user isn’t the most powerful role on the computer and needs root permission to really make any major changes. It is technically more secure, but the only other real benefit is that Apple doesn’t populate a large percentage of the PC marketplace. Apple used to encourage this way of thinking, but after the Flashback virus (Perlroth, 2012), they decided it wasn’t a good idea to lie to their customers. Apple replaced their “Why you’ll love a Mac” website containing “It doesn’t get PC viruses” to “It’s built to be safe” (Mlot, 2012). Since malware really only exploits existing bugs or holes in an operating system, it is up to Apple to fix those holes, and they do a pretty good job of it. But in any case, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Some pretty good Mac antivirus include MacKeeper, Kaspersky, and Trend Micro (Sutherland, 2014). Preventative Maintenance With the threats to OS X made real, there are some simple tricks to keep a Mac up and running. The first of which is the ever-important data backup. Time Machine, is Apple’s...

...1. Use the value chain and competitive forces models to evaluate the impact of the Internet on book publishers and book retail stores such as B&N. * A internet no mercado livreiro potencia as suas forças competitivas, uma vez que se tornam mais intensas ao permitir uma integração entre empresas, a internet está alterando o mercado livreiro, mudando o poder relativo de compradores, fornecedores e dos seus concorrentes, além de permitir novos produtos substitutos e facilitar a entrada de novos concorrentes no mercado. 1. Concorrentes tradicionais, se por um lado com a Internet aumenta o número potencial de clientes, também aumenta a concorrência, quer para editores, quer para livreiros. É fácil para a concorrência saber que tipo de livros vendem e a que preço é praticado. Neste aspeto as livrarias conseguem tirar vantagens competitiva se nas suas livrarias tiverem um grande volume diferenciado de stock e praticar táticas agressivas de preço. Foi o que inicialmente fez a B& N, que retirou do mercado as pequenas livrarias, uma vez que as pessoas procuram os grandes espaços porque têm mais escolha. A internet pode ser uma ajuda importante a conseguir obter uma vantagem competitiva, quer para as livrarias como para as Editoras, através de parcerias e sinergias onde os seus sistemas de informação e processos de negócio se ligam.
