Listen "August 2001: Apple & Nintendo"
Episode Synopsis
Get ready for a lazy summer episode, baby! The most interesting thing Apple did this month was release Mac OS 9.2.1, so Josh & Matt take up a topic that they've been thinking about for a while: Apple & Nintendo; they seem similar right? They're both hardware and software vendors with total control over their product vision, and they focus intensely on how their products are designed and how they are used. This month we put those assumptions to the test and see just how similar Apple & Nintendo really are. We also take a letter from a listener and put the Karnov debate to bed. === QuickTime Machine Attention Developers - Apple Offers WWDC Session Recordings.
