If you want a nice beach read (in November) that’s filled with light anecdotes, lots of “truthiness” and Wikipedia-based references, then I highly recommend Malcolm Gladwell’s new Outliers: The Story of Success. In it, you’ll learn such bold proclamations as: Talent takes practice (and lots of it) Success takes luck Success also takes access to social advantages Emotional intelligence (or, as Gladwell calls it, “practical intelligence”) is more important than IQ So if you wanted ...

Twenty tears ago, “advanced information retrieval” was a tiny niche activity, carried out by IT experts on behalf of users. Today, Google and other search engines provide self-service advanced information retrieval to billions of users around the world. Advanced business intelligence is similarly about to undergo dramatic change and democratization over the next few years. The new BI will be: Self-service, not controlled by IT departments. Cloud-based. Powered by a new generation of massively parallel ...

The first thing that must be said about Outliers: The Story of Success is that it isn’t an end all theory book about success. People expect that because his first two books were paradigm shift theory books. In The Tipping Point you get the “social trends and ideas spread like viruses” theory and in Blink you get “street smarts is as powerful and as important as books smarts” theory. If you’re looking for new insights ...

One of the charges of the National Intelligence Council is to make predictions about the shape of things to come. Yesterday, they stopped peering into the crystal ball long enough to give us their appraisal of the world of 2025. U.S. economic and political clout will decline over the next two decades and the world will be more dangerous, with food and water scarce and advanced weapons plentiful, U.S. spy agencies projected on Thursday. ...

MSNBC is reporting on research that a team at the University of California is doing with which they can duplicate a working key based on nothing more than a picture of that key.

Did U.S. intelligence listen in on the personal phone calls of Tony Blair and former Iraqi president Ghazi Al-Yawer? That's what David Murfee Faulk, a former Arab linguist who worked at a secret NSA facility, has told ABCNews.com. Murfee Faulk says he saw and read a file on Blair's "private life" and heard "pillow talk" exchanged between Al-Yawer and his then-fiancee. The U.S. and Britain have pledged not to collect information covertly on each other, ...Shared by Jason Gooljar (3)Contribute comment
