Behind the scenes of FortyOneAcres

I'm a futurist with a foot in the past. Talking about technology and gadgets are my passions...and I'm a huge nerd when it comes to comics. If you can imagine a kid from the 1940's who sat by the radio listening to tales of heroes in the future while reading comic books and wishing they had Dick Tracey's watch...that's me.

Steve Jobs is the archetypal entrepreneur of our age, right? And he is not an innovator, right? He’s the guy who comes second or third and makes it better.

Wow got a few more responses than I thought I’d get to the question about HTC being the next Apple.  And I pretty much agree with y’all. Apple controls every aspect of their products: design, marketing, apps, software…even the accessories to a point. HTC is not even close to having that type of control. HTC has to play by Google’s rules and make adjustments to whatever Google puts out. I could never imagine Apple giving that type of control of the software or any other part of their devices to anyone else.

The big difference between Apple’s service and its two rivals is that Apple will use a “scan and match” system to sync what’s on your hard drive to the cloud, so you won’t have to actually upload the bulk of your library to its servers. Instead, the service will simply mirror your collection with songs it already has on hand. (If it doesn’t have a particular song in your collection, it will go ahead and upload yours.)

if you have had any tech related conversation with me then you’d know that I am not a fan of the Apple iUniverse…I can respect their hustle, but that doesn’t mean I’m a fan. Here are a few alternatives to Apple’s music market (iTunes).

So Apple may be charging $25 a year fro it’s cloud service…this only leads me to wonder how much Google is going to charge for Google Music once it comes out of Beta…
