Impressive Device

Having a look at some lightreading articles ran into Jeff Han's "interface-free," touch-driven computer screen, which can be manipulated intuitively with the fingertips, and responds to varying levels of pressure, quite an impressive piece of kit !

On top of all the potential (i.e. the usual sex driven devices!) i think his point around data visualisation is a key one - plotting complex data mining information and allowing the end-user to manipulate it using a tool like that will make understanding of the internals of businesses easier (hopefully).

Kudos to Jeff ! and hope to see it in the iPhone soon ;)

My new heroine, KUDOS

Oh wow ... I like how Joanna Rutkowska writes ... she's my new online heroine! In a virtual battle she would kick Mark Russinovich’s bottom !

And she's a cutie patootie:

Ohh even those that do no evil seem to have disgruntled employees?

"Driving the latest flare-up is testimony by a former Google employee that the company earned $809,000 in AdWords revenue from EasyDownloadCenter.com and TheDownloadPlace.com, now-defunct "bootleg movie download" sites.
According to the Journal, Google assigned account executives who advised the sites on what keywords they should be selling, which implies Google had knowledge of the illegal nature of the sites."

One wonders: a do-no-evil employee denouncing or a disgruntled employee - which shouldn't exist as do-no-evil should produce disgruntlement. I also like the precision of the earnings ! nicely put.

Mozart ...

Reading some GMAT reference ... "The study showed that listening to Mozart made students temporarily more intelligent. While not everyone agrees that it helps, no one has ever seriously argued that listening to Mozart hurts."

Now shopping at amazon ;)
