The best slave does not need to be beaten. She beats herself.

The ridiculous situation around Apple’s AppStore review process.

A new reviewer is apparently all it takes to endanger the jobs of 45 employees and to kill a product that clearly filled a niche…

The problem is, though, that too many business models are based on the existence and good-will of one other company (same with Facebook et al.)

It might feel as if they are your subcontractors, but in fact, it is just the other way around: you are nothing but one of quite a plentiful cheap (well, even quite profitable, to be honest) suppliers in an unknown territory of flaky despotism.
