I’d like to convince a lot of people (my boss, my parents, my friends, etc) to try out the new iPhone. It would make life so much easier if more people around me would choose an iPhone (and hopefully — and this is my main point — buy a Mac as well after they got hooked on Apples simplicity).
If they would speak english, i would just leave ‘em alone with one of Steve Jobs keynotes, but most of my people simply do not speak english well enough to get it (“Boom!” just ain’t enough to cut their cheese).
Where, dear Apple, can i find a Keynote with German Subtitles?
Sure, the Germans (replace Germans with Italians or Dutch or etc if you like) have a little iPhone buzz going on as well, but this seems to be limited to those “few” who understand what an iPhone “can do”.

I just read an article on boing boing about how the internet and “everything being digital these days” makes things worthless, because copies of the original are everywhere (feat. the book “Better than free”).
When copies are super abundant, they become worthless.
Nope, it only seems so.
Because worthless would equal zero. The internet is not making anything worthless (that is practically impossible), it just scrambled up the known rules on how we make money, how our marketing works, who we bill and to whom we sell it.
