This article from Wired on the success of Apple is a mixed bag. The entire piece basically describes how Job’s overbearing management style simultaneously motivates, demeans, and pushes people to create his vision. At the same time, you can’t argue that he’s been right. I personally have 3 iPods, a Macbook Pro, and I’m seriously considering an iPhone. This brings up an interesting question: Is it okay to be an asshole if you’re right? The answer is yes, if you’re okay with building a company that revolves around you.

On a completely unrelated note, I love this quote by Michael Capps of Epic:  “the narrow range of folks who can afford to do high-end, Direct X 10 PC gaming are also the guys who really understand how BitTorrent works” (source: gamesindustry.biz).

Also: Pandemic’s Josh Resnick had a great talk at GDC about the difficulties of starting a game studio. I unfortunately missed it, but heard about it through Nick. Today an article came out that hinted they are looking at the Free-to-Play model. EA has had some success in this department, so it’ll be interesting to see what they’ll do.
