   Let me know how it works. I can't afford that.

   "The Essential Drucker" has the best excerpts form "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" in a tidy 3-4 chapters. It's highly recommended if you like reading "The Art of the Start" and those types of books.

   All I have to add to this excellent post is "a fool and his/her money are soon parted". It wasn't different back in the 1990's and it's not different now.

   This is a good discussion. The flipper mindset is probably localized to software tech, and maybe that mindset is required. The reason is the constant change of technology, the shifting attention span of web users, and the maturity of the fi

   If these are the 25 leading IT research projects, then the field is dead. Some of these aren't research, and others don't seem to have much depth to them (e.g., "All About Twitter", "Videoconferencing for Dr. Phil", "Drivers Wielding Cell P

   I read page 1 and jumped to page 5 without reading 2-4 without a loss of continuity. Guess I saved myself some time.

   Maybe you're running against the rotation of the Earth, thereby causing you to go back in time. It worked for Superman.

    I don't, and I think you are correct about the rule. But, I have anecdotal and second-hand accounts that it isn't always the case in practice.

    That might be true for small companies, but large companies (Intel, MS, Google, etc.) might realize cost savings by the difference in wages paid to immigrants versus U.S. workers. I think the immigrant vs. American worker stems from a fear

    You're not forward-thinking out-of-the-box. These best-of-breed phrases are multi-disciplinary across vertical and horizontal markets.

    I know. I caught that. My point is that is the kind of logic that the rest of society might latch onto. The risk is that study drugs are at a non-trivial risk of being perceived as a silver bullet for the larger societal problem of deficien

    To the contrary, scientific research is very, very competitive. There is a lot of competition to be first to discovery, first to publish, first to patent, and to win grants. This is especially true for cancer research. I don't know anything

    I agree with it, too. I don't see the big deal with myspace or facebook, in a big picture kind of way. Now that people are on it and have built out some social graphs, they're asking "now what?" and there is no good answer. What is the big

    Chia pets were profitable. The pet rock, too. That doesn't mean they were important, except to the people who realized the profits.

    Here is some evidence against using these drugs for recreational/non-ADHD use: http://www.cesar.umd.edu/cesar/drugs/ritalin.asp http://www.biopsychiatry.com/methylphenidate/ritalin.html http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/4870.php

    Pius is absolutely right. You might look to funeral homes, religious organizations, and Hospice for some ideas on how to handle the topics of terminal illness and death in a tasteful manner. But the core idea isn't a bad one.

    I don't know if there is a good reason and I don't know if they are safe for long term use. What I do know is that using them for non-prescribed uses is illegal, as are painkillers, HGH, and other drugs. If you guys don't like that, then lo

    So, anyone can take any drug they want, but steroids are idiotic? Why? Are you discriminating between scientists and non-scientist bodybuilders? Or are you singling out steroids as unacceptable and anything else as acceptable? It's not "wet

    I, too, believe in freedom. But freedom doesn't absolve you of personal responsibility for your actions. If anyone could consume any substance they desire, it would have a detrimental effect on some basic level of social order (and I'm not

    Illegal in the U.S. Your country may have different rules. Taking aspirin is the same as taking Ritalin for ADD. It is not the same as taking it for a use for which it is not prescribed. Logic notwithstanding, the law sure as hell does matt

    Then let scientists take whatever drugs they want. Pot, heroin, cocaine, PCP, LSD, peyote, mushrooms, Vicodin, whatever. Taking prescribed medication for a use other than for which it was prescribed is illegal. So, by your logic, what's the

    If a product doesn't revolutionize mankind, then it's not worth the valuations. Tech would die without hype. It's the frictional force between us and the fate suffered by aerospace engineering.
