Fascinating… but not sure I’d be an early adopter on this. What is really interesting is how many companies are taking a run a Apple’s refusal to let OSX load on non-apple hardware. It appears there are several lawyers that believe there is a valid defense available. We will just have to wait and see.… Continue reading OS X-installing EFi-X now shipping for $155

Vision, Innovation and what you think you are doing…
The single biggest barrier to innovation is a lack of imagination. The second biggest barrier is the failure to commit to your imagined future state when everyone else tells you that you’ve got it wrong; that you are not making sense; that investors “won’t get it” or some other variation on the theme.

The New York Times published an article yesterday entitled Eureka! It Really Takes Years of Hard Work in which they point out (rightly so) that innovation is not an epiphany… but a slow process of building on what you know. … innovation is a slow process of accretion, building small insight upon interesting fact upon… Continue reading I’ll say it again… Innovaiton is a process
