Hi! I'm Jonathan

parislemon:

AT&T: 10 times the iPhone 3GS first day sales.

Apple: 600,000 first day pre-orders.

Next batch of iPhone 4s not shipping from Apple until July 14th now.

Two thoughts:

1) It’s going to be a nightmare to activate these things on day 1.

2) How much are the first batch going to sell for on eBay? $1,000? $2,000? More?

I failed.  Miserably.  I didn’t get my pre-order in yesterday, nor today.  If anyone snags an extra one they want to sell - let me know.  I’m willing to pay extra.

When paid is better than free.

In no particular order:

• Easier to rank in your category with a smaller number of sales.
• The ability to put your application on sale.  Don’t underestimate the traffic sent by people looking for price-drops. It’s not insignificant.
• The momentum of switching from free to paid provides an excellent temporary boost in the rankings.
• Paying users give a crap and want it to work. Freetards give you a 1-star rating and move on. Or leave a dumbass review that clearly shows they are from Arkansas.
• The perception of value.

Dear New York Times Website,

I like to click and double click sentences, words and paragraphs while I’m reading. It helps me focus on what it is in front of me.

With that in mind, please remove that god awful script which continually pops open new windows when I click.

best, j
