The real story of Borders. 50% of their stores were profitable. Their problem was terrible management, and awful digital strategy. http://buswk.co/sPvWBN

Otis Chandler is 59% done with Steve Jobs
Jobs is amazing - he did a lot of the negotiations with musicians and labels for the itunes store himself. Amazing to hear about how he worked with Bono on marketing partnerships.
