How Apple Dominates (In Slides) What makes Apple tick? How is it that it came back from the dead to surpass both Google and Microsoft in market cap? French consulting firm faberNovel takes a stab at explaining Apple’s success and its strategy against its two main rivals in the SlideShare above. (In the past, faberNovel has created similar slideshows about Google). The 48-slide presentation, titles “Apple: 8 Easy Steps To Beat Microsoft (And Google),” boils Apple’s strategy down to eight steps including “the arrogance of simplicity” (Step 1) to customer lock-in (Step 3), selling at a premium (Step 4), cross-selling products (Step 5), and, of course, think different (Step 7). Much of this is not new information, but seeing it all in a detailed slide presentation helps put Apple’s various moves in context. Apple starts by stripping away complexity from computing products, paring down features in favor of making their products more effortless to master. Google is already all about the cloud.

What to Read Today: American Jobs, Google, Nokia & un-Social Net From Andy Grove’s point-of-view on American jobs to Google’s growing power and the importance of solitude for leadership — here are some of the most interesting pieces I have read over the past few days.

And the Real Real Social Network!

Forums - Vegas Pro - Video Messages OH. MY. GOD! To echo what "The dude" said earlier, "Halleluya!" The thing that was absolutely KILLING me was the the project would render just fine on my slower laptop that has less RAM, but absolutely WOULD NOT render without crashing on my desktop. But this solutions did the trick! I can only guess that there is something about the memory usage on the laptop that kept it just this side of whatever magic memory line was causing the crashes on the desktop. One thing I'd point out about CFF Explorer is that (at least on my install of Vista 64-bit), once I had checked off "app can handle > 2gb address space," I had to close down and re-open the program before proceeding to the next file. In case anyone is wondering why I'm not just using Vegas 8.1 since I'm running Vista 64-bit, it's because the project in question, edited in 8.0c, will not even fully open in 8.1 without crashing right to the desktop with an exception in the MSVCR80.dll.

Good-Bye, Microsoft Money! 16 Powerful Personal Finance Programs As of today, Microsoft Money is no longer available for purchase. Microsoft has essentially conceded that there’s no demand for the product. From the website: With banks, brokerage firms and Web sites now providing a range of options for managing personal finances, the consumer need for Microsoft Money Plus has changed. After suspending annual updates of Money Plus in 2008, Microsoft is announcing today that we will no longer offer Microsoft Money Plus for purchase after June 30, 2009. Now that Microsoft has thrown in the towel, where does that leave existing users of Money and Money Plus? First, it’s important to note that Microsoft intends to support Money Plus at least through 31 January 2011. A number of online personal finance management and planning tools are available, many for free, on the Web. It would have been nice if Microsoft had provided a list of these “personal finance management and planning tools”. Thrive is another online tool similar to Mint.
