Solar or Light Powered Computer Chip

20111014-000713.jpg

This is a mind bender, every time I look at this my imagination runs wild. Computer chips have kept up with Moore’s Law and performance has improved year over year for decades, but so has the energy consumption, which has dropped significantly over the years. Would be cool if compute devices could be powered by light, friction from your pocket or finger tapping.

Presentation Zen: Steve Jobs on marketing & identifying your core values

Via Scoop.it – Story and Narrative

[Wonderful!]   In this presentation made on the Apple campus, Steve says that marketing is not about touting features and speeds and megabytes or comparing yourself to the other guys, it’s about identifying your own story, your own core, and being very, very clear about what you are all about and what you stand for…and then being able to communicate that clearly, simply, and consistently.

What Will Become Of Social Media?

We’re a good seven years into social media spreading and it has generated a huge impact in many ways yet it still feels like it could be a bunch of bologna.

One thing’s for sure, we’re beyond having to rely solely on major media outlets to tells us what’s happening in the world, although for the most part social media parrots established media and at best augments it with authentic voices from bystanders or insiders. It also has us augmenting or adding media to the meaningful relationships and family in our lives. I like this part!

I think social media can really help people fight back against companies and governments, more than maybe the advent of the telephone, but it seems lots of tech and media has done this over the centuries. Our times are about more awareness, more access and faster pace of change. Still feels like a crapshoot, so play to have fun!!
