Linux is the ultimate flat management style, and its complex products have limited or no mass consumer appeal. Microsoft's weak management is also producing increasingly chaotic feeling products. Google's flat management has served it well in the production of an accomplished search engine, but its share price is down 37% since the peak and its many attempts to diversify are looking shaky.
Steve Jobs of Apple, on the other hand brings the geeks down to earth and designs proprietary, easy to use and aesthetically appealing products that consumers love. Unless Logitech also embrace this philosophy I believe their geeky Squeezeboxes will never achieve mass appeal. My qnap is working again but now my transporter is stuttering. Playing music should be a joy not a battle. -- willyhoops ------------------------------------------------------------------------ willyhoops's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45950 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
