As we move deeper into the shallows, so to speak, we naturally seek a guide. Contemporaries offer little help. Those that know the technology cannot see beyond it, and those that don’t know the technology cannot see into it. Both end up trafficking in absurdity. So we look to the past for our prophet. McLuhan is the natural candidate, but it turns out his vision only extended to 1990, and even then he was half-blind. The transformation of the telephone from a transmission mechanism for voice to a transmission mechanism for text – from an ear medium to an eye…

In the post titled, “Is this right time to start an online business?” you can see a nice comment by Fabio (f). I would especially recommend you to read the last point where he says: “everybody is good enough to run a business with a overall growing economy. Running a business during a global crisis, well, it’s more than just valuable experience…”

Time (Fashion Week): If Saint Germain and Avenue Montaigne seemed a little desolate on this sunny Saturday afternoon in Paris it might be because all the chic shoppers had migrated up in the Bastille neighborhood to check out Paris’s newest concept shop, Merci, which opened Thursday.

ubergizmo: Researchers at MIT (where else) have stumbled upon a brand new battery material which is able to recharge 100 times faster compared to standard lithium-ion versions found in your computer or phone. Assuming further research and quantum leaps in development occurs for this new battery material, chances are we could be looking at cell phone-sized batteries that could be charged in just 10 seconds! This new material solves current battery problems by creating a “fast-lane” for ions to move around the lithium iron phosphate material. When a special surface coating is applied to the old material, ions are allowed to speed around the battery at nearly unimaginable rates, hence the rapid charging capability.
