  1. Merry Christmas to everyone. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe holiday.
  2. @NoStaticST: You didn't mention mobile which is on your blog. That is at an inflection point & there will be very rapid adoption of new apps
  3. @NoStaticST: There will be money made and a lot of money lost in both cloud computing and green tech in 2010: http://budurl.com/bdy4
  4. @nullvariable I think figuring out more universal principals and creating a platform is our opportunity.
  5. @nullvariable Software open sources is the special theory of relatively. Now we need the general theory that is more universal.
  6. @nullvariable I think that is where we are. Trying to figure out the principals that make this work.
  7. @nullvariable So maybe one of the principals of broad open source is it can be done in relatively inexpensive equipment broadly available
  8. @nullvariable Hoowaki could tell you how to create a microstructure, but it would take $100K of equipment to do it.
  9. @nullvariable Perhaps if you could produce it with a $1000 lab, but not if you needed an electron microscope.
  10. @n2dsky Does the term "dynamism" resonate with you? Is that the phenomena we are experiencing.
  11. @nullvariable uploading software and letting thousands of people download it and fritz with it for free.
  12. @nullvariable how would they distribute thousands of material samples around the world. That's expensive. It's not like uploading...
  13. @nullvariable You're missing my point, I think. I was at Milliken proposing they innovate in a more open source fashion. The issue became...
  14. @nullvariable Even if they did, it's more costly to share samples of materials with thousands around the world.
  15. @nullvariable You can do that on a PC in your bedroom. Not many people have research laboratories in their basements.
  16. @SwampFox Open source isn't as clear when developing physical assets as when developing intangible assets like software.
  17. @nullvariable I didn't say pay for ideas. I said pay for physical assets. An advanced material isn't a bit where the next copy is free.
  18. @AndyArnold The best and brightest are not coming to the US like they used to. Problem is going to get worse.
  19. @AndyArnold What's wrong or harmful to KPMG keeping me from competing for clients they trained me to serve?
  20. @AndyArnold Congress this week is destroying the freedom of individuals to make decisions for themselves. Govt run a muck. It's tragic.
