March 10, 2012
The March 10, 2012 broadcast combines family humor, practical technology judgment and unusually revealing personal reflection. Dr. Dave explains that reliability often improves when people install less software, admitting that he deliberately breaks his own rules so he can discover real problems and solutions for listeners. A discussion of Internet business models recalls the late-1990s dot-com bubble and anticipates the challenge of turning Twitter’s short visits into advertising revenue. The second hour preserves a funny “wireless placebo” reaction to the iPhone 4S, Dr. Dave’s memories of trying to emulate Bruce Lee as a teenager, his application of the “conventional mess” metaphor to life and business, and his first assessment of the 2012 iPad as evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
