The tech industry is a virus.

I paid huge money for the iPhone, so it’s not like it could be anyone’s “business model” to use that data. But now, as far as I know, some unknown startup in California has all my data.

There is SO MUCH CAPITAL available at so little cost to so many that the timeline from innovator to idiot is measured in days, hours and probably even milliseconds. The guys who are actually smart and uncover new opportunities can’t even get in a position large enough to make it worth their while before the imitators and then idiots pile in right behind them.

Mr. Pink’s talk about motivation. 

I am convinced that motivation has never been understood enough, and this gives you a (scientific) proof: common beliefs do not match the reality. According to what seems to be logic, one can make mistakes: every way of seeing reality is also a way of not seeing it.  

Very, very meaningful the examples about Linux and Wikipedia. 

Moreover, I am totally fascinated to see how the speech comes into life with the drawings! Lovely.

If you are using Openoffice for a presentation and for some reasons the program is not responding as fast as you were expecting (or as slow as if you want to throw your chair and everything out of the window) I suggest you to try a small plug-in in order to be able to reduce the size of the file you are working on.
It is called Sun presentation minimizer, and eliminates all sort of unecessary things that make the file too  slow for your not-extr-powerful-not-so-multitasking PC, such as delete the non-visible portion of the  images that have been cropped, or by transforming OLE objects into non-interactive lightweight images.  I must say I found it helpful.  And it seems to work for Powerpoint too.
