  • "Apple Seems Slightly More Apologetic as It Removes Page Resizing Code" Gizmodo UK 11/9
  • "Minding the store: Apple's Retail head was recently replaced. The hire seems to have been a mistake dealt with quite swiftly. It is tempting to think that the firing of a manager is due to a failure in their performance, measurable in quarterly reported metrics. But this is not often the case. It may be true of sales or some operations, but most strategic management decisions take months to make and years to implement before you can have the luxury of measured results. And even then the dependencies of performance are many and outside the control of specific managers." asymco 11/9
