   Yes indeed. It's the exercises and feedback that help a lot. I believe that the optimized future is MOOC Problems to start, Texts and Recorded lectures to help where you struggle, humans to help when the texts and recording miss your

   They also add a lot of value to the companies along the way. If the partners instead created a high tech strategic consulting firm, what would their daily rate be? This method allows them to share the upside and downside of the advice, as t

   I've heard this "there are no more big changes left." Perhaps folks in the Valley are too close to the change to see it. Universal mobile connectivity is huge. Instant access to the world's information is huge. Instant

   I'm trying to figure out if this was purposefully meant to be ironic.

   This is why the problem inevitably gets worse over time. If you think it's bad at Microsoft, visit IBM. It's mostly insiders, and everyone has a way of looking like they hit their metrics, while the company falls apart.

    I don't see it as so bad, given how much others have written Microsoft off. I think their stock performance highlights how little they've done to build on their legacy and expectations. Now they have a chance. When I read the f

    Taligent anyone? It will be interesting to see how this works out. The one thing Apple lacks is the monster enterprise salesforce that IBM has. And that may be the strongest thing that IBM has left.
