Story on osOpinion: ' According to published reports, Ernest Prabhakar of Apple Computer informed attendees at the USENIX BSD Conference earlier this week that BSD is now three times more popular than Linux on the desktop. BSD's rapid rise in share is obviously due to Mac OS X's UNIX heritage, which incorporates Free BSD's kernel in the underlying core of the company's new OS. And OS X is targeted directly at desktop consumers. ' Comments 10:41:53 PM

Theory of ecomnomic competition: been thinking through a couple of concepts from disparate fields, wondering if there is a kind of 'grand unified theory of competition' that describes any arena that can be viewed as economic competition. A mature market is one in which there are a few big winners and lots of little ones (power law distribution). A market change shows itself via a 'speciation event', the sudden appearanceof lots of new entities, the majority of which crash. The big winners grow organically, benefitting from constant application of small advantages. A corollary is that it's unlikely you can launch a big, fully-formed competitor at one stroke and expect success (pets.com comes to mind).
Now I'm looking for instances which prove or disprove this admittedly rough and incomplete theory... |
