Buy and live in a houseboat and sail up and down the Pacific coast from the top of North America all the way down to Mexico, Central and South America stopping and living at various ports along the way.
This is great work. I remember my parents buying Oxygene on vinyl in 1982 at a yard sale when I was nine and I played it nonstop on my “Kiss” record player at the time.
This is the right move by camera manufacturers. The low end, compact camera has been replaced by people's smart phones and computational photography. All the innovation in the small compact market is on phone cameras. It's just not compelling or fiscally responsible to continue to spend money on R&D and manufacturing in the low-end compact market if you're one of the large camera companies. The money to be made is in the professional market. Higher margins, more expensive camera bodies and glass. Feels similar to what Ford did when they stopped making sedans/compacts and went full on trucks, crossovers and SUVs. The only real money maker that I've read about on the low end is the Instax line by Fujifilm, which fills that nostalgic, film based approach.
It seems to me the great differentiator is risk-taker vs. risk-averse, not so much "smarts." The examples given in this article, Elon and Zuck have both been wildly successful at some endeavors(Tesla,SpaceX,Facebook) and have failed spectacularly at others (Twitter, Meta-verse) But they both are risk-takers. And on a long enough time-line even seemingly successful "masters of the universe" will fail at some point in their careers. What one then hopes is that you collect enough wisdom on your journey to make fewer mistakes as you go.
Very true. Furthermore I'm curious to see where Twitter will innovate moving forward. After S. Jobs "slashed and burned", he set his teams first on the iMac and then iPod in Aug. 1998 and Oct. 2001 respectively. I keep reading articles about how Musk wants to turn Twitter into an "app for everything" similar to WeChat in China. I'm a bit skeptical.
This feels very reminiscent of when Steve Jobs came back to Apple in an official CEO capacity. He laid off 3000 people in his first year as CEO and was ruthless with axing unnecessary projects and product lines. He also installed key NeXT employees into positions of influence. The rest is of course history. I'm curious to see how this plays out for Musk and Twitter.
I think this shows that Final Cut Pro on iPad was never really in the cards. Furthermore, Apple is using this Davinci Resolve release in their own marketing materials. I love Final Cut Pro, but as time goes by it seems like it's headed the way of Aperture, after competitors like Adobe Lightroom took over the marketshare - cancellation. Especially when other developers are creating great software like Resolve and LumaFusion. Not to mention hundreds of film editors wrote an open letter to Tim Cook "begging for Final Cut Pro commitment."
