“

How much, where and when is determined by the competitive environment and how well a producer can distinguish his product in the mind of the consumer. That will be the challenge of the New York Times when it begins charging for online access next year.

“The issue is not how much people value access to a particular newspaper, but whether comparable content is available elsewhere for a cheaper price,” says Varian.

Perhaps the most brilliant practitioner of getting people to overpay in a world of cheap knockoffs is Louis Vuitton, the luxury goods maker.

“I never knew a designer that got hundreds of thousands of dollars to design a logo. Mostly, designers get paid to negotiate the difficult terrain of individual egos, expectations, tastes, and aspirations of various individuals in an organization or corporation, against business needs, and constraints of the marketplace. This is a process that can take a year or more. Getting a large, diverse group of people to agree on a single new methodology for all of their corporate communications means the designer has to be a strategist, psychiatrist, diplomat, showman, and even a Svengali. The complicated process is worth money. That’s what clients pay for. The process, usually a series of endless presentations and refinements, persuasions and proofs, results, hopefully, in an accepted identity design.”

“She would have been eligible for the DREAM Act (should it pass) had she chosen to stay and wait in a perpetual limbo, but Chan decided to take control of her life and guide it towards another destiny. She received a full-tuition scholarship to pursue graduate studies at a top Canadian university and jumped at the chance to finally be treated as a human being with full inalienable rights, something the United States failed to grant her during her lifetime here.”

“You wouldn’t think of Craig Newmark as a technical genius, his genius is in understanding what people wanted to do with the Internet, and what they could do, and never mind if it was part of the conventional wisdom (at the time) of what the web is for (making money) — Craig went ahead and did what he wanted. I’ve compared him to Aunt Jemima, and I’ve scolded him publicly for being such a wuss, but it’s been a long time since I underestimated the deliberately understated Newmark.”

“As the tournament unfolded, the story transformed. It became less about Williams’s tennis prowess and more about her serve. Williams managed to turn that serve into a third person, its own character. She had a talk with her serve. She described her serve’s career.”
