Ondrej Holzman Akwenzeki kaningi, kodwa icala elibandakanya ama-iPod ne-iTunes, lapho i-Apple imangalelwa khona ngokulimaza amakhasimende nezimbangi, ayinaye ummangali ngalesi sikhathi. Cishe abasebenzisi abayizigidi eziyisishiyagalombili bamele umdondoshiya waseCalifornia, kodwa ummangali omkhulu ulahlekile. IJaji uRogers liwachithe lawa angaphambilini. Kodwa ummangali unethuba lokuqhamuka namagama amasha ukuze icala liqhubeke.
Ngemuva kwe-Apple, abasebenzisi abalimele bafuna imali eyizigidi ezingu-350 zamaRandi (uma betholakala benecala lokwephula imithetho ye-antitrust, ingaphinda iphindwe kathathu), kodwa okwamanje banenkinga enkulu - alikho igama elilodwa elifanelekile ohlwini lwabamangali abahamba phambili. . NgoMsombuluko, iJaji uYvonne Rogers likhiphe owokugcina kubo, uMarianna Rosen. Ngisho naye akakwazanga ukunikeza ubufakazi bokuthi wathenga ama-iPod akhe phakathi kukaSepthemba 2006 noMashi 2009.
Kungalesi sikhathi lapho icala lancishiswa khona ngaphambi kokuba liye kumajaji. Ngaphambi kukaRosen, ijaji liphinde lachitha abanye abamangali ababili, nabo abahlulekile ukuveza ukuthi bathenge ama-iPod ngesikhathi esibekiwe. Njengoba icala lingenaye ummangali, weza I-Apple ngesonto eledlule futhi ijaji likhiphe isinqumo esivuna yena. Ngesikhathi esifanayo, nokho, akazange avume isiphakamiso sika-Apple sokuthi lonke icala lisulwe etafuleni ngenxa yalokhu.
Abamangali banesikhathi kuze kube uLwesibili ukuthi baqhamuke nomuntu omusha ongase abe ngummangali oholayo omele abasebenzisi ababalelwa ezigidini eziyisishiyagalombili abathenge ama-iPod ngaleso sikhathi. Umkhokheli "oqanjwe ummangali" uyimfuneko ezenzweni zekilasi. U-Rosen akakwazi, ngoba u-Apple unikeze ubufakazi bokuthi ama-iPod akhe athengwe ngesikhathi esihlukile kunaleso asishilo, noma abenesofthiwe embi.
Abashushisi bathola ithuba lesibili
UJaji Rogers ukhuze umshushisi futhi waveza ukuthi akathandi ukubhekana nodaba olunjalo njengoba amajaji besenesonto lonke elalele ubufakazi. "Ngikhathazekile," kusho uRogers ngoRosen namaphini akhe ukuthi bahlulekile ukwenza umsebenzi wabo futhi bahluleka ukuthola ummangali osemthethweni.
Ngenhlanhla yabo, nokho, ijaji lazizwa libophekile “ezigidini zamalungu angekho ecaleni” ngakho lanikeza abameli ithuba lesibili. NgoMsombuluko ebusuku, abamangali bekufanele balethe uhlu lwabamangali abasha kwa-Apple ukuze lubuyekezwe ngabamele inkampani yaseCalifornia. Ngemuva kwalokho kufanele bethulwe phambi kwejaji ngoLwesibili.
Kodwa ummangali kufanele mhlawumbe athole umuntu ofanelekayo kumakhasimende ayizigidi ezimbalwa. “Kunabamangali abazimisele futhi abakulungele ukubandakanyeka futhi sizobafaka enkantolo kusasa,” kusho ummeli wabamangali uBonny Sweeney izolo.
Ukuqulwa kwecala cishe kuzoqhubeka, futhi kuzoba kubahluleli ukuthi banqume ukuthi ingabe izibuyekezo ze-Apple iTunes ne-iPod esikhathini esidlule zenzelwe ngokuyinhloko ukuthuthukisa imikhiqizo yayo noma ukuvimba ukuncintisana ngokuhlelekile. Abamele i-Apple, eholwa nguSteve Jobs (owafakaza ngaphambi kokushona kwakhe ngo-2011) kanye nesikhulu se-iTunes u-Eddy Cuo, bathi baphoqwa izinkampani zokuqopha ukuthi zivikele umculo abawuthengisayo, futhi noma yikuphi ukuvinjelwa kokuncintisana kwaba "imiphumela emibi" kuphela.
Kodwa-ke, abamangali babona ezenzweni ze-Apple inhloso ecacile yokuvimbela ukuncintisana ekukhuleni emakethe, futhi ngesikhathi esifanayo inkampani yama-apula yalimaza abasebenzisi, isibonelo, abangakwazi ukuthatha umculo othengwe ku-iTunes futhi bawudlulisele kwenye ikhompyutha futhi badlale. komunye umdlali.
Ungathola ukumbozwa okuphelele kwaleli cala lapha.
