Adventures in eBusiness

By now most people who have too much pre-elections time on their hands have started getting fatigued with the impossibility of sorting out political parties and have turned their attention instead to something more meaningful -- namely, the ecology and future of the Stuffosphere, which is more influential than politics anyway.

Below: the official archestra guide to the Stuffosphere. This explains why you like their stuff. It also explains why they want each other's stuff, which they can't have, so they'll have to one-up it or put each other out of business. So far, Apple is the most competent at putting other guys out of business, but that just explains why they are in this picture in the first place.They are most at risk, because their act is the easiest one to screw up.

Key points to presume, gratuitously, from the guide:

- facebook should buy Yahoo and Netflix (which then gives Microsoft something to do for a while with both Skype and Bing)

- google should consume Hulu and fix Motorola so that it can have a real tablet play and assure that YouTube dominates streaming

- apple should figure out how to absorb Pixar, Kodak's world, Adobe's world, and the Gaming worlds

- amazon should go into banking or something
