CNET: Five tech firms at a crossroads

September 10, 2004, 11:03 am

Good articles over 5 companies (Tivo and PalmSource are among those five that I know) that were innovators. Quote: “Each sells a product or service considered brilliant. Each has drawn raves from consumers …. But that’s not always enough.” Competitors (or we can blatantly said copycat) are lurking behind to take (and even overtake) their market shares.

What’s new:
Apple used to own the home computer market. Today it’s in single digits. Brilliant first movers often falter as the rivals catch up.

Bottom line:
Five companies flashing all the brilliance of early Apple are reaching
the point when the wolves start nipping at their heels. Can they stay
ahead of the pack?

PS. Been a while since I blog (and I knew it was long, because the URL disappears from the Mozilla’s location-bar auto-complete list :-) . Anyway, another bomb explode in Jakarta yesterday :-( (. It explodes in front of the Australian Embassy, and again, just as the previous bombs, the victims are all Indonesians :-( (. (Note that it does not mean that I would support the bomber should the victims are Australians they are targetting to). Sad .. sad … sad .. :-(

And so is another slaughter in Beslan, Russia last week. Many victims were children. What a world we are living now :-( .
