I’ve been quite busy over the past few weeks wrangling all the technical aspects of TEDxManitoba 2012, which took place this past February 9th. Being a part of the steering committee for the event was an incredible experience, as was working with my crew in my position as technical lead. I was also fortunate to make a number of new connections and friends through the experience — as well as, of course, hearing some fantastic ideas worth spreading. After the event went so well, I wanted to write up a quick overview of how we pulled off the day’s technical aspects so I could give credit where credit is due. (Lost? Read up on TEDx Events.)

It’s being noticed that Apple’s (AAPL) market cap has shot up to the stratosphere, and suggested by some that it’s Only A Matter Of Time Until Apple’s Market Cap Is Bigger Than Microsoft I say don’t hold your breath for it to get — or stay — there. Paul Kedrosky wrote yesterday about Apple, Wal-mart, and the “Market Capitalization Bigger Than” Thing, concluding “When we press our noses against the market glass and ‘oooh’ and ‘aaah’ at a company’s market capitalization exceeding something it shouldn’t … let’s just say bad things tend to happen. Eventually.”
I agree — just take a look at the context he gives it. Do you really think that Apple is worth over $200 Billion today?

As good as most of them are it’s a rare TED video that No presciption prednisone makes you want to stand and applaud with the crowd even though you’re only streaming a recording of a past event. But this TED Talk by Pranav Mistry has some truly jaw-dropping stuff, particularly for those who haven’t much considered the extent to which we could be interfacing our digital world our the natural one. Some of this looks like genuine science fiction. Haven’t heard of him? I hadn’t either. “Pranav Mistry buspar no perscription worldwide is a PhD student in the Fluid Interfaces Group at MIT’s Media Lab. Before his studies at MIT, he worked with Microsoft as a UX researcher; he’s a graduate of IIT. Mistry is passionate about integrating the digital informational experience with our real-world interactions.” He is also the inventor of SixthSense.

Kevin Mitnick
has been dumped by his web host and cell carrier because they can’t keep crackers and script kiddies out. Their solution — rather than dealing with the security implications — is to dump the customer. Mitnick is a $20,000-a-year for AT&T because of his roaming charges, and could help them find a solution. But no… evidently it’s best to just ditch the customer. Maybe they didn’t realize we could all do the math… your AT&T data is no more safer than his.

My friend John La Grou
of Millennia Media and SafePlug is an inventor and an entrepreneur, to name just two of the bullets on his resumé. As readers here will know, I’m big on thinking differently — not an easy trick, but one which gives you the fresh perspective to break out of assumed molds. It’s a skill that is necessary both to inventors and to entrepreneurs. At the most recent TED conference, John gave a very brief TED Talk on one of the inventions he’s worked on, a new kind of “smart” power outlet that reduces the risk of fire considerably more than GFI plugs and standard circuit breakers could hope to do. It’s an idea he and some friends arrived at by thinking differently.

I recently commented on a discussion about a No presciption prednisone planned migration to Linux in order to avoid having to deal with Windows Vista. It seems that No presciption prednisone it takes more searching than one should expect if one is No presciption prednisone attempting to find positive reviews. Some companies are electing to not to No presciption prednisone make the switch at all, waiting instead to see what the No presciption prednisone next version will bring. Vista is easily the biggest flop in the product line since Windows Me purchase synthroid/thyroxine amex online without prescription. When I purchased a No presciption prednisone new HP laptop last year, I received a coupon for No presciption prednisone an upgrade from Windows XP to Vista (the unit shipped with XP), I didn't bother to redeem it. My laptop is running Mandriva, and No presciption prednisone though it still dual-boots to XP, I haven't used the No presciption prednisone option in more than a year now. The recent discussion got me thinking about my own migration from No presciption prednisone Windows 2000 to Linux, and what advice I might offer.

I was dropping the No presciption prednisone kids off at school yesterday when I got a call on my cell phone from No presciption prednisone an editor I've worked with before at CIO.com. It took a minute to sink in, but she was telling me that Sun Microsystems had just purchased MySQL. They wanted to No presciption prednisone get a story up fairly quickly on what this meant for No presciption prednisone CIOs, and they thought I'd be a good person to tackle it. Now, the No presciption prednisone last time I wrote for them about MySQL (of which I'm a fan), I got raked over the coals a No presciption prednisone little, but then I was writing as the dark horse. Of course I took this No presciption prednisone one on anyway, and "Sun Acquires MySQL: Impact on the CIO?" was up within a No presciption prednisone few hours. Go ahead and read it; I can wait, then No presciption prednisone we'll carry on.
