Jackson Rodney commented on How Can You Make The Most Of Technological Revolution? on June 3, 2009, 5:35 PM
I've been following Cooley for some time now and he may be the one of the few people willing to speak up and call the economic crisis for what it is, a big government screw up by way of dumb policies leading to bad outcomes. His points on technology are all well and good, but I'd love to see more of him on the crisis and the botched recovery (like the other clip in this series) -- that's where this gentleman truly shines!
Jackson Rodney commented on Tom Stewart: How Can You Make The Most Of Technological Revolution? on June 3, 2009, 5:26 PM
Stewart makes good points on tech investing, but I think the best piece of advice I've seen on this front in awhile comes from this BT interview a few months back. It's called advice for Jamie Dimon, but I think anyone with enough investing wherewithal to place bets on Africa and Asia needs to see this clip (it's actually how I discovered this site): http://bigthink.com/topics/business-and-economics/ideas/clay-christensens-advice-for-jamie-dimon
Jackson Rodney commented on Tom Stemberg: How Do You Succeed In Business During a Recession? on June 3, 2009, 5:17 PM
As a native Bostonian, I remember watching Staples grow from an experiment that few thought would go anywhere into the pride of our region. Stemberg's words should be taken seriously by anyone who has any interest in entrepreneurship and building something from nothing. Serious kudos for giving him a voice here!
Jackson Rodney commented on Can Open Source Make You Rich? on June 3, 2009, 5:41 PM
I'm still not sure I understand how to make money from open source after seeing this video. It sounds like the speaker simply has to work harder and face more competition. The person who can reconcile the product benefits of open source with the right market incentive structure will probably make the big money!
