On the business, strategy, and impact of technology.
LinkedIn and Samsung both had negative reactions to their earnings, but both are in the middle of a shift to a better position going forward; Sony’s results were worse on an absolute basis but better received because they’ve already gone through the hard work of focusing on what works.

In a shocking — but perhaps not surprising — announcement Evernote CEO Phil Libin said the company would be seeking a new CEO. How well is Evernote doing, and will they ever become a private company?
E3 Day Zero was also yesterday, and while Sony in particular had some compelling announcements for an old guy like me, how sustainable is the current console business given the end of exclusives? Also, Sony’s Playstation Vue announcements sounds like a big deal, but they’re really not interesting at all.
Good morning, The promised update to Stratechery is imminent — if all goes well, it will happen in the next 24 hours. I will include more details in tomorrow update, but the primary impact on subscribers is minimal. Specifically: Your Stratechery login will be your email address, not your old username The first time you […]
Good morning, Moore’s Law really is fifty years old: the original paper was in 1965, not 1975. Ugh! On to the update: Samsung’s Retreat While I have used the smiling curve to explain the dilemma facing publishers, as I noted at the time the very concept came from the world of Asian OEM’s — Acer […]

Please note, if you have login issues, make sure you use your member name, not email address on the login page. I’m hoping to address some of the site […]
Good morning, As I noted, this week’s Daily Updates might be irregular; indeed, today’s is arriving several hours late. I apologize for the delay. I also apologize that the first two items are U.S. centric (yep, TV again). On to the update: The NBA and the State of TV The NBA’s ratings have been declining […]
2014-09-18 Good morning, From my email, it seems like my post yesterday about Apple Watch surprised a few of you (please check out the full piece on Stratechery, as it differed from yesterday’s email in a few key areas). I don’t like changing my mind, but I hate being wrong more, and I changed my […]
Good morning, I’m working on a piece about Apple, the cloud, and culture; I think it’s pretty interesting and I hope a good contribution to what has happened this week. It will hopefully be up later this morning. I’m pushing my piece on payments and the wearable to next week. On to the update: China […]
