beyond the scope of
fair competition. ”

opinions.

the worm.
· Mobile phone apps are about ME, about my
personalized style and experience.
· Unauthorized use of music on the Internet is not a
technical problem but a business issue.
· But for now it is important to explore where information
exists and what gives it meaning, thus separating good
information from bad information.

the mechanical
inventions yet made
have lightened the
day's toil of any
human being. ”

people will pay you.
· Everybody gets so much information all day long that
they lose their common sense.

the rhetoric of an 'information guru' or 'a technology
evangelist.

8. In conclusion

· Integrate 24/7 network effects
· Reinvent customized content
· and remember: A spoon does not know the taste of
soup, nor a learned fool the taste of wisdom.
