Totally agree re: RIM. I’m amazed that they are STILL in business, considering the response to the Playbook.

Simply beautiful. I too have been forging an amazing relationship with my 87-year-old father. This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing it, Prataap!

I’ve been plugging addresses into chooserenewables.com to find a place where I can get the most out my next move. New York state looks mighty generous, very appealing to get 75% of my wind turbine paid for with a very short payback…free energy in just a few years.

What about harnessing the human energy produced on treadmills on airplanes to fuel the plane in flight?????

My favorite is no. 5…not really a prediction, just a wise comment that describes me at my dreamiest…hallucinating! It makes me laugh every time I consider it. Great observation.

Yes, I like that line: “China could be left in the dust.” Very provocative! I was wondering how much of your personal preference went into that thought? I don’t really see the US and India forming a tight enough or respectful enough alliance to bury China or for that matter wanting to. I think they’d much rather own China. On the other hand, I think that the US and India are fundamentally alike in many ways that the US and China are not, e.g. entrepreneurial, capitalist, democratic, open, outward looking, and perhaps most important, both the US and India are lovers of the English language! Also, of course, India is the quintessential former British colony, in that regard the experienced older sibling who by its example helped give the younger American colony the impetus to break away sooner.

I also think that the heritage of India’s caste system is similar to the US heritage of slavery. All of this makes India akin to the early American wild west. Although she admires American economic and civic culture she is neither starry eyed or cowed by it, just as the expansive US west was never cowed by the eastern establishment. India is the new California!: movies, technology, capital, science! Growth!

And now after the Mumbai bombings maybe there is an even tighter bond with India, that is if Pakistan doesn’t pull it all apart.

The NBA has a program that rookies must attend in order to play. They teach them the fundamentals of how to handle fame – such as: what to do with their money; how to handle the press; how to handle dubious offers for endorsements; how to stay faithful to their spouse, etc.
Perhaps we need this for our techno-wizards? Maybe we can avoid some of the early burnout and instead encourage them to continue their high levels of innovation and creativity!
