Tim Cook On Apple TV: “We’re Going To Keep Pulling The String”
Posted by TechCrunch
Apple CEO Tim Cook talked about the company’s TV plans tonight at the D10 conference. His comments were all pretty vague, but if nothing else, he hinted strongly that Apple does in fact have plans for future TV products.
When interviewers Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher pressed Cook on whether he thinks the current Apple TV product is good enough, he said, “We’re going to keep pulling this string and see where it takes us.” Mossberg then suggested that the current version of Apple TV doesn’t solve all of the problems with TV watching, to which Cook replied, “I agree” — but he didn’t want to talk about it further. Of course, a full-fledged Apple[...]

I recently took the post of CEO of ShopCo, a startup focused on reinventing the circular shopping business. Through the vetting process of considering the post, I learned and had to re-learn some important lessons.
It goes something like this: You’re in the running for the CEO’s job at a startup. Already a creeping sense of uncertainty has set in as you prepare for the next interview. What do you need to know about the company? What rocks do you need to peek under?
Senior executive changes are happening at lightening speed in the tech space. Seasoned managers move from one early-stage company to another, and from established companies and venture firms into the startup world. Some of the sav[...]

Xbox Live finally gets an Amazon Instant Video app
Posted by VentureBeat
Amazon will now offer its streaming Instant Video service to Xbox 360 owners via a brand new app that was released today.
The move will make all streaming purchases, rentals, and free Prime videos available through the popular gaming console. It also means the Playstation 3 is no longer the sole game console to feature Amazon’s streaming video offerings.
An Amazon Xbox Live app makes perfect sense for the company. Not only has media usage on the Xbox risen above the console’s main purpose of gaming, but it’s also part of Microsoft’s overall strategy to break into the digital media market. Several other music and video streaming services are already available on the co[...]
