The Era of AAPL is Over

I got a few comments from my “Tech Pair Trade of the Century” post awhile back along the lines of “Short AAPL? Good luck!” and “Long RIM? Good luck!”. So it was with interest I noted this week (13F week, when all the “big boys” file their 13-F’s with the SEC) that two very large [...]

How to Leave easyDNS

[ If you're interested in the backstory to this post, read on, if you want to skip straight to how to get the hell out here, skip down to How To Leave easyDNS ]

I have been listening to Doc Searls’ The Intention Economy lately, it is an amazing book for a number of reasons – but suffice it to say (for now) that the book introduces “VRM” – Vendor Relationship Management. VRM is the natural compliment to CRM and is conspicuous in its absence from most business models. Yet if I may be so bold, it correctly
