Direct From Houston: Dell is Born
In 1999, Michael Dell was giving a lecture on the ABCs of entrepreneurship to a business class at his psuedo-alma mater, the University of Texas. When it came time for the question and answer period, one of the students eagerly stood up and asked Dell why, despite being worth over $17 billion, he continues going to work each day. “You’ve got so much money,” the student said. “Why don’t you just sell out, buy a boat, and sail off to the Caribbean?” Dell stared back at the student and replied, “Sailing’s boring. Do you have any idea how much fun it is to run a billion-dollar company?”

On The Job: The Launch Of Apple
While the 26-year-old Wozniak was content with his computer hobbyist group, the 21-year-old Jobs had a greater vision for the future. After seeing a computer that Wozniak had designed for himself, Jobs began to think about the marketability of such products. He convinced Wozniak to leave his job at Hewlett Packard and together the two began working on constructing a personal computer. Jobs’ passion and Wozniak’s engineering talent would soon combine to become a revolutionizing force in the computer industry.
Sloppy naming
If you've got more than one product or service, you have a problem. You need to decide if there's going to be an architecture to the way you name things. General Motors has a division, Chevrolet. Chevrolet makes cars, and each car has a name (Corvette, Impala). They have an architecture in place that makes some things clear very quickly.
Lack of Focus
As the stock market continues to flounder around (mostly the wrong direction) and some people in the middle east continue to try to destroy each other, I woke up this morning pondering failure. I thought of another “classical entrepreneurial lesson” that we made at Martingale Software – lack of focus.

Ten Questions With Michael Raynor
Michael Raynor has a doctorate of business administration from Harvard and works for a big-name consulting firm so I had to overcome several deep-seated prejudices to read his new book The Strategy Paradox: Why Committing to Success Leads to Failure (and What To Do About It).

Lesson #1: “I’d scrap things together – try this, try this, try this”
Steve Wozniak could not be considered a failure by any stretch of the imagination. However, he has experienced his fair share of failures in his life, and it is to those failures that he attributes his success.

Tasting the Fruits of Success: Apple Computer Corporation Takes Off
Wozniak and Jobs began spending an inordinate amount of time together, talking, planning, and envisioning what they could achieve as a pair. And they never stopped building.

iWoz A Geek: The Early Years of Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak
He might not be as well known as the ‘other’ Steve, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, but Steve Wozniak had just as much impact on the computer industry as we know it today. From designing over 50 mini-computers on paper in school, to founding Apple I and Apple II in the mid-1970s, Wozniak’s passion for the technology has forever changed the way the world does business.

Be An Orange
When a prospective buyer is looking at your product or service, he or she is really comparing you to the competition. So the question is, are they comparing an apple to an apple or an apple to an orange? It is vitally important in marketing that you find a way to be THE orange! In other words, what is it about you that makes you completely DIFFERENT from your competitor?
Premium Apple App Store? Mac App Store?
There are rumors that Apple is planning on introducing a “premium” section on the Apple App Store for selling more expensive third-party programs. I think the idea has some merit.
Perception remains that Jobs IS Apple
Whatever you want to say about Apple, it’s a brand that is considered one of the best. In the latest brandchannel’s brandjunkies 2009 report, Apple won accolades in several areas. However, it’s also a company that is viewed as having its future tied to CEO Steve Jobs—and that’s an image that needs to be changed.
Study: 2.5 million U.S., Canadian Households ready to buy an Internet-connected TV
There have been rumors that Apple plans to release its own television set later this year. I’m dubious, though I’d like to see it, along with a real beefing up of the Apple TV. However, if Apple did make theie own television, they’d probably want to have built-in Internet access.
The Sellers Research Group’s take on Apple’s financial
Apple announces its latest financial results today at 2 pm (Pacific). Naturally, we’ll be covering the announcements in-depth. But first I wanted to give you the predictions of what Apple will announce, as determined by the Sellers Research Group.
Apple won't: a) buy EA, b) buy Twitter, c) launch its own game console
Tough economic times or not, Apple is rolling in dough. It has an US$29 billion cash balance, so this has led to some crazy speculation on what Apple will do with the moolah. There's been talk -- crazy talk in my opinion -- that Apple will buy Twitter and/or Electronic Arts.

Apple’s Decisions Could Be Impacting Your Bottom Line
Apple and its founder Steve Jobs are making decisions that are impacting you even if you don’t realize it. As it turns out, Apple has been making changes lately that will impact Internet marketers and Internet entrepreneurs around the world. If you want proof of Apple’s massive clout, all you have to do is look at statements they have made concerning Flash.
Why Apple is the "Apple" of Tech
Why does Apple continue to dominate the market despite growing competition daily? Because they are "Apple" and no one else is.

The New Rules of What-If
If you own a computer or read the news, you’ve probably heard of the “two Steves” – Jobs and Wozniak, who founded Apple Computers in 1976. Far less likely is that you’ve heard of Ron Wayne. He designed the Apple logo and along with Steve Jobs and Wozniak, was one of the original founding partners in Apple. Afraid that their new startup computer company would fail, Ron sold back his 10% stake in Apple for $800, only 12 days after he got it. If he’d held onto that $800 stake, even as a silent partner, today he’d be worth around $22 billion.
