This bit of corporate politics has been passed around as internal folklore for years – more than a decade, even.
In some ways it’s sad to see it published.
It used to be nice to have a little secret.
Wow! ‘Snapple’ finally leaked!

re: Wow! ‘Snapple’ finally leaked!
The article’s quite interesting, especially the bit at the end where Scott says, “The answering machine put voicemail by the desk, and then it went back into the network.”
Now, I have an answering machine on my work desk, not because voicemail isn’t available but because I found voicemail a pain to use and I never had a blinking light telling me that I have messages available or a display of how many messages I had waiting. So, I think Scott’s got it all wrong there. He seems to have an ideology of “The Network is the *****” where you have to replace the **** with everything. Maybe soon he’ll be chanting “The Network is the Toothbrush.”
There are some things which are best as part of a network and others which are not. In the case of the iPod, I’d say not, as it’s a portable go-anywhere device which you want to use anywhere, especially places where there’s no networking.
