I came to similar conclusions to you; once we start giving in to those feelings, the police state has really come.Stuart Stanifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182839827506265860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-24016774065367823082013-07-01T06:09:33.809-07:002013-07-01T06:09:33.809-07:00There are those of us here in the UK who are incan...There are those of us here in the UK who are incandescently furious about the de-facto totalitarian police state our governments have set up.<br /><br />When a democracy subjects it's populace to mass surveillance, it is not a democracy.<br /><br />Chris Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16843133350978717556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-85128925998476555052013-06-30T18:07:05.417-07:002013-06-30T18:07:05.417-07:00...I found innovation systematically undervalued i...<i>...I found innovation systematically undervalued in the corporate world, as a result of the focus on near term results.</i><br /><br />In the 90s, larger companies in particular developed the habit of "outsourcing" R&D: let start-ups try a half-dozen different approaches (on the cheap), then buy the one that looks like the best bet. So many ways this can go wrong. Buy the wrong company. Pay way too much for the tech. Let the tech staff who really believes in the approach go, or even shove them out. Try to force a round tech peg into a square business-model hole. All practices pretty much guaranteed to push innovators out of your line of business...Michael Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01472223216496790376noreply@blogger.com
