it usually helps to turn the question around - "what if we don't do this?" end of the world? end of the customer? etc. same triage as in medicine. once customers get silent, it gets dangerous. as long as they are screaming, t

Snow Crash sums this up nicely: Until a man is twenty-five, he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world. If I moved to a martial-arts monastery in China and studied r

no doubt, but this is the NSA. a data breach in an organization built around security and data intelligence. if facebook screws up, ok, not their core competency - but the NSA?

LinkedIn's value is not centered around your personal profile - it's about the other people that are linked to you and will always have an up-to-date CV/contact details for you. It is a self-updating rolodex, Outlook Contacts

I think it is reasonable for a sales person to only sell products by his employer. If you walk into an Apple Store, wouldn't you expect to get the best Apple solution for your problem? Same in a Microsoft store, just with a Microsoft s
