CNN has a feature called “Connector of the Day“.  It’s an expose’ where the taste makers who are doing it big in their industry are profiled. This one spoke to me because a lot of us aren’t aware of how strong some brands are establishing themselves.  Enter Diddy, who (if you don’t know) has a 500 million brand in Sean Jean (that’s why he doesn’t care about the music as much). And we get to find out the in/outs of is his clothing empire (yes it is an empire). So courtesy of CNN here’s “Connector of the Day” with Sean Combs…

 

I know we’re all blindly enamored with this new iPad (hell my company makes apps etc.).  But let me say this “out loud”.  The only 2 reasons the iPad exists are: to make the gaming experience better with a bigger screen (and to compete with the other gaming vehicles: Wii, PS3, X Box 360 etc.) and to take over the publishing  game (again the iPhone screen was to small for readers). So don’t get overly out of sorts with this.  If you have an iPhone/iTouch and a Mac, your fine.  With that being said here’s where Apple IS the “Nike” of tech as of today.  Whatever they do, the tech industry decides this is the platform they have to be competitive on.  Case in point:  Google will launch a digital book store as early as next month that takes on Amazon,  Apple  and Barnes & Noble with Google ‘Editions’.
