It took less than a week for Beeper Mini to run into a wall.

      From a business perspective, this was the stupidest possible investment. There is no way Apple was going to let this fly.

      Why would you sink so much money into such a stupid product?

        A lot of people seem to live in a delusional bubble where they don’t realize all the shitty things about apple products are by design.

      Back in 1999 MSN messenger had support for chatting with AIM users, it was quickly blocked by AOL and for a while there was a game of cat and mouse between Microsoft and AOL until Microsoft quietly dropped the feature

      Yep. I wish Beeper had just stuck with the PC and iOS apps.
