Is anyone else a late adopter? I have no interest in early adoption. Too costly in time. Bad return. Better to let the market do the R&D and select the best once established. But I mean, Viber is awesome. 🙂 Wish I was an earlier adopter. 🙂

THE PURPOSE OF CRITIQUE – CONSUMPTION
So, the purpose of critique is to prevent us from constructing our amazing commons by enticing every possible individual to increase consumption rather than save and invest in the commons. You see, declining prices also are part of the commons. Wealth is not created by consumption, but by increases in production that are captured in the commons. In other words, Westerners act as shareholders. We did not need to invent the corporation, because we have lived it for 6000 years.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/05/upshot/why-is-the-economy-still-weak-blame-these-five-sectors.html?smid=tw-shareNYT’S DAILY MISSION TO SWAP DECREASED HUMAN CAPITAL FOR SORT TERM CONSUMPTION
You do realize that the NYT is all about Critique right? That western civilization produces the worlds greatest commons, and that the Cosmopolitans have been trying to force us to increase consumption and therefore profit the merchants and bankers, at the expense of constructing our competitive advantage: our ability to create commons by denying short term consumption.

– Of the Forbes 400 from 1987, 327 people have dropped off the list. Of the remaining 73 people, those with the highest annual rates of return are generally self-made entrepreneurs and investors—not heirs—with an average annual real rate of return of 5.6 percent over the last 26 years.
– The rate of return for the Forbes 400 as a whole, 2.4 percent, is roughly equal to Piketty’s estimated returns for the entire population.
– Wealth today is largely generated by entrepreneurial skill, with the number of entrepreneurs on the Forbes 400 list rising from 40 percent in 1982 to *****69 percent in 2011*****.
– The role of inheritance has diminished over the last generation; the share of the Forbes 400 that grew up wealthy has fallen from 60 percent in 1982 to 32 percent today.

Northern European society rewarded producers and punished everyone else. We used high trust, and high suppression of free riding to force everyone into the market productivity.
That is a very inhospitable place for free riders and parasites and the unproductive.
How do the unproductive make room for themselves in a productive society?

DEAR MICROSOFT : SELLING TRUTH I have never been able to get you to take my advi
DEAR MICROSOFT : SELLING TRUTH
I have never been able to get you to take my advice. Nor have most of the major advertising agencies succeeded in getting you to take their advice. We all fail because you think you are smarter than we are. Thats why we all agreed a long time ago to give you what you want until you fail, and become desperate enough to listen to us.
Good advertising is the truth, spoken succinctly and elegantly. There are many other kinds of advertising, on which to ride your brand, but while beer can sell with something as simple as sex, and snacks with farcical humor, the more complex, expensive and serious the product or service, the more important is selling the ‘truth’.
The truth is that Microsoft products help you get your work done. And if you want to make a living, then you need to know how to use them. Everyone else is selling cheap entertainment. You can’t play in the entertainment space unless you sell hardware, and even if you sell hardware, to take advantage of your brand, you must market to serious people doing serious things.
There is margin in business products that can NEVER exist in consumer products. So stop trying to be fashionable for consumers, and be excellent for people who want to have a job, get work done at their job, associate with people who have jobs and get work done. And enjoy life with people who have jobs and get work done.
The way to succeed is to tell this truth and trivialize all other products on the market. The global recession continues and will continue since the world economy has rebalanced its labor pools and today we live in that ‘normal’ state which we will live in for a very long time to come.
As such, Microsoft products are for people who REALLY want a better life, and everyone else’s products are for people who want to pretend they have a better life – for a few moments at least.
You would fare much better with TV ads showing EMPLOYED young people and unemployed people using non-microsoft products. Because honestly, that’s the truth.
So please stop making a fool of yourself. You succeeded. You’re now IBM. So sell to grownups on the one hand. Sell to gamers on the other. Because those two audiences you can speak the truth to.
Truth works, always and everywhere.
