Henry Ford?
Reuters: “Second-hand retailer Poshmark Inc on Tuesday forecast third-quarter revenue largely below estimates and warned that its marketing efforts were taking a hit from Apple Inc’s new privacy controls over digital advertising tracking.”
I think the other shoe is about to drop on all those companies that have been feeding off of Apple’s customers’ personal information. And that’s some pretty big names indeed….
This says more about the lack of character of the Power Play author and about Leo LaPorte’s audience who would waste time listening to his commentary.
Hmmm, sounds similar to something we’ve heard in the past…oh yeah…”Apple is a computer company, what makes them think they can make a mobile phone and compete with all us phone makers who know everything there is to know about mobile phones”, or some variation of that, doubtless accompanied by much swearing and laughter. Of course, while they didn’t know it at the time, the whole world changed on 1/9/07 and has never been the same since. I’m not sure we can accurately envision all that Apple could bring to the automobile field. Especially not the auto folks. THX1138 anyone?
