    The Next Target: TV

    Apple and Google have tried before, but seems they both are renewing their strategies. Rumor has it that Steve Jobs left a strategy to take over TV to Apple. Google is thinking of leveraging both their actual pipes and YouTube as a professional content generator to get into the space too.

    If either of these work out, it’s big news to AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, Netflix, Samsung, Sony, etc. It’s big news to all of us who still watch TV in a way not quite the same as we use the Internet (despite DVR and networked HDTV sets).

    Will talk about IPTV and Video over Internet architectures in a December lecture.

    Legacy of Jobs 

    Four industries revolutionized by Steve Jobs:

    1. Computer (and related consumer electronics) industry:
    From the first successful personal computer to the first successful tablet: Apple II, Mac, iMac, MacBook, iPad.

    2. Software industry:
    The whole concept of apps, the 10 billion download from App Store. UI. iOS.

    3. Entertainment industry
    10 Billion download from iTunes, revenue-piracy tradeoff, moving into iCloud. iPod. Pixar.

    4. Communications industry
    iPhone, a device that changed the network. Turned the whole wireless and networking industry upside down.

    For an individual to achieve any one of the above would have been near miracle. For one person to do all four, and across three stages of life, including mid-life with cancer, is simply beyond comprehension.

    There’s Mozart and Beethoven. There’s Newton and Einstein. There’s Edison and Jobs.

    Now, Jobs dropped out of college (to be able to learn in the way he wanted to learn) and started his company at the age of 21. Most of the students in this class are around that same age.

    Are you going to drop out of Princeton next semester?

    Are you going to devote yourself to your passion before turning 22?

      Haha. It’s definitely easier for Americans/greencardholders compared to international students to drop out of school to pursue his/her passion. For international students on F1 visas, dropping out of school essentially means having to go back home.

        Good point. International students cannot easily drop out. I was raising the first question to “domestic” American students only.

        Here’s a way to ‘effectively’ drop out and then a way to delay drop-out gratification:

        1. Petition to create your own major, or just spend minimal amount of time on courses you don’t even want to take but somehow have to take, so that you have more energy to pursue other interests.

        2. Get into PhD program and take leave of absence using OPT to pursue your interests. I heard (you have to verify with immigration lawyers) that international students founding a company can get H1B through the company they found.
