"Postmodernism is a change-or-be-changed world. The word is out: Reinvent yourself for the 21st century or die! Some would rather die than change." Leonard Sweet, cultural historian.

Quote du jour

Steve Jobs in an interview with USA Today on whether he fears the new iPod Touch will cannibalize iPhone sales:

“If anybody is going to cannibalize us, I want it to be us. I don’t want it to be a competitor.”

This ought to be the ongoing mantra of every local media company in America. It’s a textbook disruptive innovation response. When IBM, for example, got into the PC business, it helped cannibalize its mainframe business, which was already being attacked from without.
