One.

I used to have 5 or 6, some related to different companies, some for junk, etc., but now I find it much easier to just use a single address for everything.


He's right in that we won't remember either solely for the money the made. But Steve Jobs will be remembered along the lines of people like Thomas Edison. And he'll probably be studied in business classes for a very long time, both for the smart and not so smart moves.


Isn't their plan to transition to a different customer base in an effort to not be a bargain based store anymore?

There are bound to be loses during the transition.


Same thinking here. Good overall article, but instead of losing all "price discriminators", and nothing in return, Ron is hoping to transform JCP into a retailer that caters to a different class of consumers I believe.


I for one was really impressed by JCPenney's sales, but I haven't had the need to by clothes since then (that I would find there, anyway). Could it be that the people who like honest sales spend less money?

Doesn't really explain why people STOPPED shopping there once they offered these more honest prices.


I didn't see the ad campaign, but I would guess JCP's main problem is that JCP is still a junk store that I go to to by cheap junk I need for a short term, if they win on the Internet price search. Trader Joes never has sales, and they do great. The have. 99 prices though.

They mentioned in the blog post about the release that it would be 50% for the first 24 hours, and a free upgrade for recent purchasers.


Fair play, didn't read the blog post. Just watched the video


Product menu > Build will build your app. You can tell Xcode where to put the app in the Locations preference pane, but if you want to distribute an iOS app you'll have to use the app store.


I've been a fan of Chocolat lately. Simple, straightforward and easy on the eyes.

Is there an advantage to having it run in a browser? Desktop-style web apps always feel out of place compared to native apps. I prefer apps that fade into the background when I'm using them so I can focus on what I'm doing, and if an app feels non-native it tends to be more distracting than useful. It's like adding one more layer of complexity.


Now you also have the skills to work with a sales team. Consider that a bonus to your programming skills.
