"A great talk." Jack Tsai, Founder, MA WebCenter, Seattle; on Mark Anderson's talk on "IP Driving the Global Economy: A Tough Talk About China" to the students of the Shanghai Institute for Foreign Affairs, guests of the University of Washington, and selected Seattle business leaders.
"SNS is my favourite technology newsletter." Garri Jones, CFO, Circle Health, U.K.
"My board members have forwarded your newsletters to me and I've seen some of your TV interviews on China and cyber espionage. Because you are an expert in the field, I would like to invite you to speak on an executive panel at the RSA 2012 Conference in San Francisco in February. The panel would be on: 'Protecting Intellectual Property in the Age of Cyber Warfare.' Your interviews and newsletters on the topic have been brilliant." Kate Munro, Bit9.
» Getting the PC Slowdown Wrong
Steve Jobs calls this the "Post-PC Era," so maybe it's all his fault. On the other hand, Gartner ought to take its share of the blame, since it was the first to start putting out misleading titles about PC vs. pad and netbook sales suggesting the former was a dying breed, not seeing that pads and netbooks were fulfilling certain PC tasks.
Today, if you didn't know better, you would probably be thinking along these same lines. Yesterday is so "PC," today is so "Pad," and tomorrow is so "Phone," no?
