Competition – that’s the basis of a capitalist economy. It’s the American way. The theory is that consumers will support the best products and services. Thus, the inferior companies will go wander off into the snow and die. It’s the stuff from high school history courses. It’s one thing to theorize about competition, it’s another to experience it first hand. New software called “SpriteDeck” reminded me of the intensifying Corona vs. GameSalad battle.

The Poor Man’s Apple TV

Gift cards are peculiar gifts. Instead of simply giving money, people buy these decorative symbols of store credit. It does seem like a nicer present than cash, as some thought is involved. The gift-giver may not know exactly what to buy, and it is certainly undesirable to purchase the wrong gift, so it’s at least narrowed down to the right store. But what if they guessed wrong?
