... these companies still haven't learnt that they should include proper details
of the methodology with these analyses.
For example:
1. Kindle sends info on "Acme for Beginners" book to central system -
system doesn't store any ID for it;
2. Collecting system sends back - OK, don't send me info on this book again
unless re-read from the start;
3. On second reading, Kindle sends info along with note that it is in fact 2nd
reading;
4. Repeat from 2.
If they described something like that I'd be happy.
Do I believe it's really anonymous without such a description? Not a chance!!!

Seems like it should be possible to trick said robot if one knew how it works
unless it is programmed to avoid such tricks as well (even then, I doubt it
would be "every time").[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

As PJ's footnote correctly points out, Microsoft didn't have a very positive
effect with Nokia...
But here's the question: what happens to the significant and lucrative corporate
smartphone market. Business people have used Blackberry handsets because of easy
integration with email infrastructure and the fact that they work so well with
Corporations.
Apple seem to have a reputation for 'disdain' of large corporate clients when it
comes to handsets, yet we also read that companies fell in love with iPads.
I'm just wondering what it would take [after the perhaps near-inevitable
implosion of RIM] for the corporate world to move to the iPhone?
Could we be looking back, 5 years from now, and saying, "That was the
moment when Microsoft's strangle-hold on big business finally broke. The iPhone
opened the door to the Corporate world, and the iPad and Macs happily followed?
It's hard to say. I suspect that the massive price premium that Apple charge for
their iMacs and Macbooks will keep them out of most companies [unless some hefty
discounts come through].
As corporations move to embrace mobile computing, a fully integrated, vertical
strategy from Apple could really make a difference, but one with the potential
to be difficult for FOSS... since Apple are potentially less open than
Microsoft.
Time will tell...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
