Software Success. Being Number One
- How come you can recognise the tune of the number one song of 1968 as being Hey Jude by the Beatles, but not the number two song?
- Why has the iPod had the success that the Zune has been denied?
- Why are Herman Miller chairs cool, but their functionally equivalent competitors lame?
- Why is Ruby hip but Java square?
