Strange choice of marketing.

There was a TV program trying to get women to develop apps.

I couldn't work out how on earth these women were going to do any programming, since they clearly had no interest in it. Half way through the program, it was clear that they just wanted to design something that works in a certain way, and expect to hire some real nerd to do it.

In a sense, Steve Jobs was just a screaming prima donna who just badgered and bullied real techies into coming up with the goods.

I never had the thick skin to bully other people into working for me, so I had to bury my face in technical manuals to do the work, and look on people like will.i.am with loathing.

"strategic adviser to its board" just means he's going to come up with funky ideas to acquire, then rip off customers.

I am thinking Freemium Games.

E.g. You have to keep buying fertilisers and Monsanto seeds to keep your farm going: or you get repossessed. :eek:

Let's get them hooked on virtual portfolio games, where the shares and funds just seem to boom, and hardly ever bust. Pop Up: Get your ISA today!
