    Why did apple stocks cut price this week ?

    INVESTING 
    What makes Apple special is that they never sold a product or software, they sell an image and identity. Apple's design has always been cutting edge and ahead of current design trends, but now they are suddenly following others. Their core-evangelists have always been trendsetters (designers and...

    Why did apple stocks cut price this week ?

    INVESTING 
    Apple didn't listen to their users, or attempted to involve them in a major rebranding. They changed the identity of their iOs, and a lot of people connected personally to the old design. This move costs Apple users, and the stockmarket responded to that.

    I have a 9 figure idea, but I don't think I can make the deadline.

    IDEA 
    Stop making it about you. There is a place for promoting yourself, getting feedback and replying to it. That is not in the thread of someone else. You are simply ignoring netiquette and it is not appreciated, deal with it. I3ond: Nine figures is a lot, and highly unlikely that a first version...

    My Brother - advice

    PEOPLE 
    This is true, in the end this is a nurture vs nature debate after all. And case by case the influence of the social environment differs, and so does the responsibility of the people involved. But especially when it comes to family members who tend to train themselves into habits towards each...

    My Brother - advice

    PEOPLE 
    And now from an entirely different point of view. Because in all honesty, although I agree with everyone here, there is always more going on. And someone should step in for the brother. If someone gets treated as a loser, and important people around him make assumptions and constantly confirm...

    My apologies, that was a very harsh reaction ;) I have just seen too many local companies going under and leaving a giant wreckage because they tried to adopt a very straight forward American approach to a culture that does not work well with it.

    [Progress thread] Transmedia lifestyle brand

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah there is, and it could give a good boost at the start. I'm approaching some of the key people to beta-test with me. And change the app based on the feedback. But I see involving key influencers as a scaling opportunity, not a launching opportunity. The need I'm fulfilling with the app is...

    [Progress thread] Transmedia lifestyle brand

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the tips! Especially instagram, didn't think about that one yet. I'm initially planning on having a very small campaign just to try things out. Even though the app is fun and well designed in my opinion, it is going to be flawed when it will meet with the expectations of the users...

    [Progress thread] Transmedia lifestyle brand

    EXECUTION 
    A very small update. The app is nearly done, but I got stranded in the apple enrollment procedure. While waiting for this I started setting up the content I want to write for the website. As I still need to set up name for the whole thing, I'm tempted to start using my own name right now. And...

    E-Commerce Problems. US Business Setup.

    In the Netherlands there is company called Suitsupply, right now it is taking over the US. Why I mention this is because this company started selling suits next to a highway in the middle of nowhere. Now, dutch people are known for not caring about fashion at all, and if he would have opened a...

    E-Commerce Problems. US Business Setup.

    I would just start locally. Your local market is so small, that there is a big chance common things from western europe or the US are being imported for very high prices. So plenty of opportunity to test ideas. You also don't necessarily have to go to the US, aren't you in the EU? That opens up...

    Where should I start to create a Mobile App?

    Is there any need for it to be a dedicated app, or can you create a simple website with smart responsive design? native app: faster, easy install, complicated to make, every platform needs its own version Website app: Works on all platforms, slower, easier to make especially with database...

    [Progress thread] Transmedia lifestyle brand

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah indeed! And I think if you do it right, you can attach the clients to your brand for decades. The app is just the beginning. There are a lot of places that are inspiring men about the old ideals, but barely any places teaching the ideals and where they come from. So that seemed like a...

    [Progress thread] Transmedia lifestyle brand

    EXECUTION 
    Some small progress! I started testing out the app on different communities. My approach basically is - find a thread where someone is asking about color-matching between ties, shirts and suits - run a quick simulation in the app - screencap the simulator and post the result. - wait for...
