World’s greatest business model?

Published on February 27, 2007

Being laid up for the last couple of days provided me with a ton of time to think about whatever I wanted. So I got thinking - what’s the world’s greatest business model?

Cisco caves!

Published on

I’m willing to bet that every employee at Cisco gets a free iPhone (Apple’s iPhone that is) for the rest of their life. Although they both get to use the iPhone name, Apple is the clear winner here.

“Listening” to what we read

Published on February 16, 2007

Here’s a strange idea - listening also applies to reading. How often do we read into something that’s not really there?
