- How Amazon Game Studios convinced developers to join its team | Polygon "Frazzini said developers at Amazon Game Studios get to influence the direction of the technology and products that Amazon launches. They work closely with those behind Amazon Web Services to help shape the cloud infrastructure and to inform them of their needs.

- Tech companies are liars: Samsung edition - Quartz "It turns out, however, that it actually took Samsung an entire year just to sell one million Galaxy Tabs—not the widely reported two million—according to Forbes. In other words, Samsung guided analysts toward an erroneous figure, and then let it stand instead of correcting it. + This isn’t a small deception. It made it look like Apple’s share of the tablet market fell dramatically—from 95% to 75% in just two weeks."

- The Cost Of Permission Culture: Or Why Netflix Streaming Library Sucks Compared To Its DVD Library | Techdirt "The problem is that, unlike earlier movie-rental options, streaming rights fall fundamentally within a permission culture. Netflix is a great illustration of what's gone wrong here. It's gone from having a nearly unrivaled catalog of films available to rent to being the butt of Onion jokes. What happened: It shifted from a system where nobody had a veto power over its operations, to one where it had to get permission and make deals with Hollywood. Sometimes it's difficult to find the concrete costs of living in a permission culture, but the decline of Netflix's selection is an important cautionary tale."

- The playbook: why Amazon's Fire TV is a guaranteed hit | The Verge - newnetland The playbook: why Amazon's Fire TV is a guaranteed hit | The Verge:The Verge: "Amazon doesn’t innovate by crafting new product categories, like Apple does. It also doesn’t make much money selling its hardware. Instead, it takes all the data it gathers as the world’s biggest online retailer, breaks down exactly what’s available and what consumers want, then produces a piece of hardware that it can sell cheaply in order to bring consumers into its ecosystem. Just as Netflix created House of Cards to satisfy the particular tastes of its viewers, Amazon made the Fire TV because millions of buyers are already looking for it. To understand the Fire TV is to take one glance at Amazon’s best-selling electronics list: two Roku models, Google’s Chromecast, and the Apple TV are the only non-Amazon devices in the top 10. The world’s largest online retailer just took on all three."
