iPhone Component Suppliers - Cypress and Marvell?

Rumor has it that Samsung is making all the processors for the iPhone.

Akamai: Doomed To Commidification

Huh? MSFT and YHOO are AKAM customers, not competitors!

Logitech Should Gain From Holiday Electronics Sales

LOGI is also beating the crap out of its competitors. I just hope they don't make too much stuff for the Zune!

Microsoft's Zzzune (The Sound Of iPods Flying Off The Shelf)

The Zune is a repackaged Toshiba Gigabeat. It's a joke!

Toyota Versus GM/Ford: Classic Hedged Pair Trade

If you like Toyota, why even bother with F/GM? F/GM will move on any kind of random stuff. Gov't bailout is possible, you never know.

Stunted Marketing in Video Games: Nintendo the Only Ones Getting it Right

"They will never capture more than about 10% of consumers." Then how did the Halo series do so well? Way more than 10% of Xbox owners bought Halo and/or Halo 2, and there are plenty of other successful FPS shooters on consoles. But more diversity would be good, and I think Nintendo will do more damage than people think.

RealNetworks' Glaser: Waiting for an iPod Killer To Jumpstart His Business (RNWK, AAPL)

RNWK has burned a ton of customers with their horrendous software. After dealing with a version that would continually take over my computer and assign itself to play all media files AGAINST my wishes, I vowed never to use a Real product again. Even Windows Media Player isn't that bad.

The Beginning of Online Video's Long S-Shaped Curve Towards Innovation and Monetization

There aren't many obstacles to putting web video on TV, though it would certainly help if more videos were in long enough to be worth the trouble of putting them on TV, widescreen format, and at high resolutions. Think about it, a lot of computers have DVI outputs, which can go right into HDMI inputs on HDTV's. If the video is of a high-enough resolution (480P or higher), it will look just fine on a TV so long as the bandwidth is there.
