1. The Law of Leadership: It is better to be first in the market than better. Charles Lindbergh was the first person to fly the Atlantic Ocean solo, who was the second? Bert Hinkler. He was a better pilot, he flew faster, consumed less fuel but no one remembers him. The leading brand in any category is almost always the first brand into the prospects mind. Hertz in rent-a-cars, IBM in computers, Coca-Cola in cola.
2. The Law of the Category: If you can't be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in. Who was the third person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean? If you didn't know the second, you figure you don't know the third, right? But you do, its Amelia Earhart. Now, is Earhart the third person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean or the first woman to do so?
3. The Law of the Mind: Its better to be first in the mind than to be first in the market. Is something wrong with the law of leadership? No, but the law of the mind modifies it. Its better to be first in the prospects mind than first in the marketplace. Which if anything, understates the importance of first in the mind. Being first in the marketplace is important only to the extent that it allows you to get into the mind first.
All manual and rugged as hell. I took three cameras to Thailand the two modern electronic ones broke from the humidity and heat, the Old K1000 worked perfectly and I got some great shots. I bought mine on e-bay for eighty bucks.
I think this is a response to consumer complaints regarding the current practice of stickering fruit with its product code. I can't ever seem to get those stickers off without bruising the fruit.
Years ago a friend of mine was moving up from bag boy to checker at a supermarket, he had to memorize all the codes for fruits and vegtables and pass a test. Now a checker reads the code off a sticker, shifting the burden to the consumer.
I don't think the color change adds enough value to balance the annoyance of removing a sticker from every piece of fruit you buy.

Big Blue is doing all right compared to, oh I don't know, Wang.

As for Apple not being first. Read the third law. Apple broke legal downloads mainstream.
Dude, this is why I never link back to my work on slashrot.

I don't mean to flame you, but you might want to take a look at that.
If you were just trying to get some free QA, I tip my hat in your general direction.
Good day sir!
