Ted Waitt Is No Steve Jobs
from the try-try-again dept
Remember those TV commercials when Ted Waitt took over at Gateway again? They made him out to be the savior of the company and lots of people started comparing what he might do to Gateway with what Steve Jobs did to turn around Apple. It might have been a little early. So far, most people haven't seen much to indicate a turnaround at Gateway, and analysts are starting to get restless. Waitt puts on a optimistic face for the interview conducted here, but he's going to have to get more creative than EverCrack PCs if they want to stand out from Dell.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
