Oh it's VERY effective. If you've read the statistics of how ads exposure on younger audiences leave a lifetime of mental imprint and how it affects their limbic system, you'd think it's TOO effective.

I was illustrating how companies align their interests with the audience. (and media distribution channels,roduction houses, etc).

Don't think this is all about money, though. Because us FOSS crowd need to find better ways to align our interests with the masses,and it's not always about the $$$.

In that case the following things where disruptive (some are not technologies):
- marketing (IMHO)
- packaging (box, bag, the feeling you have when leaving the store and everybody can see what you've bought)
- multi-touch did disrupt all existing products. It did not stop the sales, but it told avarage Joe who the new boss is.
- kinetic scrolling

so far, VERY few companies have been able to make money with / from OSS
redhat, maybe...
?

thus, no, indeed, OSS isn't about money
never was, never will be.
it is free, as in... free beer

Not aimed at the same existing customers / the mainstream does not mean that disruptive technology is any less aimed at customers. That's the whole point of it.

are you describing rotten iPotatos' business plan?

didn't you forget something?
jailbreak?

I did not, that was the first eco$i$tem. Enclosing/dis-powering of the user was intentional.

Sony also has the eco$i$tem.

Google.
Palm. hp.
Cisco. Linksys.
(just about all network gears equipment maker)
Moto.
Lenovo.
IBM.

The companies mentioned above are just a very very small fraction of those who have made HUGE amount of money by selling products/services powered by opensource components. (And managed to align their interests, somewhat, with the FOSS movement still).

So, no.

There are some very very creative people out there.

Question (!)
isn't Maemo.org NOKIA's ecosystem for the Maemo platform?
but it is open source, thus, no it doesn't bring any money directly.

so we're talking about disruptive marketing, not disruptive technologies? yes. apple know how to do disrutpive marketing, i agree on that. (plus, they know how to reach their target group of consumers willing to give up dignity and control.)

now can we all go back and anticipate the N9 again? no matter if it'll be disruptive (i start hating this word even more than i already hate ecosystem), it'll at least stop the rumors for a while.
