Two Porsche's not belonging to guests - parked outside the five star Hyatt Hotel in Jeju, a positive association that benefits both the hotel and the car company. The officially negotiated and unofficial/ambush associations between brands, objects, people. How the current status quo changes as more of the association occurs in the digital space(s), as the medium has a degree of autonomous mobility. In an urban environment where mass commuter traffic on the 'roads ' ...

Last evening, we asked what are the costs and consequences, as well as the market reaction to, the imminent bailout of Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE). Your responses were inspired and informative. (For a brief history of the GSEs, see this earlier commentary). This morning, its page one news. Here's what the major papers are suggesting is the likely outcome: • Conservatorship: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be brought under government control; ...

Over the last 5 years or so with the pronounced emergence of inexpensive multi-core COTS compute platforms and the rabid evangelism of virtualization, I have debated many times with folks who continue to suggest that "big iron" -- high performance equipment in the compute, network, security and storage domains -- is now "extinct" and that nobody buys bespoke equipment any more. Many of them argued "All you need is a COTS PC, package up OS/Applications ...

Imagine what would happen if GM and Ford collaborated to invest in the components and architecture of a better public transport network -- and then licensed it for free to cities, states, and countries. Imagine what would happen if pharma players directly invested in better hospitals and clinics -- instead of in trying to own the relationship with doctors, and furiously outspending one another when marketing blockbusters. Imagine what would happen if Wal-Mart invested in ...

I think that this is apples and organges. There is a huge cost, relative to open-source software development, to building public infrastructure such as roads and squares. Further, the benefits to Wal-Mart and P&G from such investments are questionable at best. Cars run on roads, and people like public squares, but the analogy doesn't hold for this new browser because it is enabling fundamentally new capabilities for GOOG. That is, control of its own destiny for web-based apps like GMAIL, GCAL, etc and the basis to compete with MSFT in the OS layer. Many future developers are going to skip the Windows layer and develop apps directly for the web on the back of Chrome and efforts like it.

Hank Williams points out that the front page of the Angelsoft website is really great. For those that don't know Angelsoft is a free web service that many angel investors use to manage their deal flow. We've looked into using it to manage our deal flow and I wish we could use it, but we don't currently. Hank and his commenters mostly focus on the twittervision style map on the front page that shows the ...

Next Generation <anything> Sick of it. Sucks monkey balls. Is about as relevant and non-sensical to me as "kosher ham." I've been really annoyed by this term since I ashamedly added it to my lexicon of "roll-off-the-tip-of-my-tongue" buzzwords years ago for reasons I can't rightly remember. Too much TV. I suppose temporally, anything not shipping, regardless of how (r)evolutionary it may or may not be, is technically "next generation," but it's today overly (ab)used to ...

Whenever we release a product in beta as we just did with Google Chrome, we can always count on our users to come up with ways to improve it. This week's example: several eagle-eyed users and bloggers have expressed concern that Section 11 of Google Chrome's terms of service attempts to give us rights to any user-generated content "submitted, posted or displayed on or through" the browser.You'll notice if you look at our other products ...Shared by Adam (15) Adam Dempsey (13) AfroWhitey (8) AidA (91) Alan Root (21) Alexandar (8) alphakamp (30) andré.friedrichs (57) Andrew Girdwood (33) Aneel (32) baardoa (30) badpazzword (20) Benjamin Golub (20) Bob Caswell (15) Bonstio (11) Brian Landau (20) C.K.
