‘We have broken speed of light’ - Telegraph

Wow, will I be able to time-travel in my life time? ;-)
[From 'We have broken speed of light' - Telegraph]

For instance, an astronaut moving faster than it would theoretically arrive at a destination before leaving.
The scientists were investigating a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, which allows sub-atomic particles to break apparently unbreakable laws.
Dr Nimtz told New Scientist magazine: “For the time being, this is the only violation of special relativity that I know of.”

The Merchants of COOL

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

The world is changing and everyone is saying that. So it’s nothing more than boring and you are getting deaf whatever they say, until something hits on your head. As far as we are in the IT industry and trying to invent new technologies and innovative services, it’s hard to ignore a new generation called Net Gen. They take new things without any fear. They don’t take precedent rules. PBS has a show called FRONTLINE and they’d done a special report, ‘The Merchants of Cool‘. This show gives us some insight about today’s teens. You can watch the full program online here.

Now let’s get back to our real life and watch people around you who are under 25. If you don’t have anyone around you, go out and find them and meet them and talk to them. You will find that they are a new human race absolutely. In the “Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything“, authors claimed that this new generation would change not only market place but also our working environment. It’s our job to leverage their yet-unleashed power and to drive their passion for innovation.

“Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything”

For myself, I am trying to learn WIKI and to find best ways to collaborate with Net Gen. It won’t be easy to adopt open source concept and to find my position in the new world. To be honest with you, God, it’s a hassle until now. I only hope that no more new generation will come in the future. Not again, at least not in my life, plz. ;-)

Change is inevitable.

The world is changing. It’s changing much faster than we expect.

Joe Schoendorf, a partner of ACCELL partners for 20 years and a former employee of HP and Apple for 40 years, talked about “The Global Shift - Everything is Changing” at Stanford Summit. I strongly encourage you to take 15 minutes of your precious life for watching this session. In the end of the session, someone in the audience asked him about what his biggest mistake was. He answered back by confessing one of his mistakes: Laughing at Bill Joy’s idea of creating workstation. (Bill is a co-founder of SUN Microsystems. ;-)) Joe, himself was one of the bozos which Guy mentioned in “The Art of Innovation“.

Also you might want to check out another session, “Introducing the New Captains of Innovation” of which Guy was a moderator. I really liked the part when he teased about “Aggregate Knowledge”. Who in the world creates that kind of name for a company? ;-)

Change is already happening and it’s inevitable. It’s time for us to catch new opportunities.
