If you don't cannibalize yourself someone else will
If you don't cannibalize yourself someone else will - Steve Jobs
Microsoft must be thinking on the same line to use Windows On ARM to cannibalize Windows x86. This move will reset ISV's product landscape (esp. system software products) dramatically. If ISVs are not seeing this scenario as a possibility, nobody can save them.

MS: Please change this name "Windows on ARM"
Here is the announcement of Windows on ARM: http://forwardthinking.pcmag.com/operating-systems/294103-windows-on-arm-3-big-questions
If x86 Windows and WOA are not the same, please change the name. That will remove some ambiguity over whether it is a same old Windows or not.
I understand MS is trying to even the play field for all ISVs (including system software makers). If I can't write a system driver and develop unique product on WOA, why should I care about WOA unless WOA has significant market share.

My next flat TV should have...
1. Insanely thin.
2. Play music from my hub and put screen in sleep mode.
3. Eliminate all external speakers need.
4. Seamlessly work with Remote app on tablet and phone.
5. Voice controlled remote.
I hope Steve Jobs "Finally, I cracked it" statement of upcoming Apple TV cover my wish list.

Netflix Customer Loss Worse Than Forecast
Couple of lessons should be learned from Netflix.
1. Keep the subscription price less than $10.
2. Don't change the price if you are offering something less than $10.
I noticed the price change only via Mint when it altered me that something is over the budget. That put the question on my mind whether I need Netflix. I still have Netflix only streaming. Most likely I'll keep the streaming.

eSocial habits
I don't want to copy other's eSocial habits. I'm still in search for social network that has same features as my real life.
