Apple’s overall gross margin for the quarter was 44.7 percent.

This is for mostly hardware, mind you. Incredible.

Also - remember about a year ago, when they announced margins were going to tank because of some cool new thing? What will come out of Apple next if they are going to cannibalise the margins with something seriously cool? Are they going to?

The dark humor in this is that the same people who delight and celebrate investing in disrupting other industries are blind or in denial about it happening to their own.

Courtney Love does the math - Salon.com

A very long, not always coherent, but nevertheless eye-opening look at the music industry.

If only artists understood half as much about the business side of labels, distribution, and risk - we would probably all be better off for it. Acta, sopa, pipa - all that crap because of the incredible power of some gate keepers that don’t want to deal with change (unless it is a change of the laws to their own benefit).

At least they will die in the long run.
