    Pretty impressive examples of html5. Maybe interesting for the crowdsourcing game?

    Your link points to a restricted LinkedIn page... Here's the original link: http://www.15inno.com/2010/06/07/apple/

    A pretty standard Apple-o-getic (ah ah) blog post. How many times does the guy say 'I like Apple'? Anyway, I'm having a hard time understanding the point he is trying to make. Apple should open up its innovation? It shouldn't because they are so hip, cool, a 'unique company' and an 'exception to the rule'? Mah..
  • Ma Ru on 14 Jun 10
     
    I think the point is the guy bashes the "open innovation theory" (whatever the theory is) with his main argument being that Apple is not open and at the same time very successful.
  • LeopoldS on 14 Jun 10
     
    this guy is actually one of the most fervent supporters of open innovation and tries to promote it whereever he can ... his problem is that at least at first view Apple does not confirm his theory ...

    lol, the 'about' page is priceless bullshit: http://www.15inno.com/about-15inno/ "Corporate Mind Exchange (CMX) events in which corporate innovation leaders discuss relevant challenges and issues. No academics, consultants or start-ups; just corporate practitioners." We are doing it wrong, Leo. We don't need no stinking Universities! "Network groups in which 12-20 innovation leaders from different companies meet 4-6 times annually to discuss challenges and issues. Workshops and events with thought leaders and practitioners." What the hell are "innovation/thought leaders"?

    A bad workman blames his tools... P.S. Polish version of this proverb is much nicer, and says that poor ballet dancer blames her skirt... but it's nothing compared to the Russian version, which says about a male ballet dancer who blames his... well, guess yourselves...

    To Coordinating Lead Authors, Lead Authors, and Review Editors for the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) "I would also like to emphasize that enhanced media interest in the work of the IPCC would probably subject you to queries about your work and the IPCC. My sincere advice would be that you keep a distance from the media and should any questions be asked about the Working Group with which you are associated, please direct such media questions to the Co-chairs of your Working Group and for any questions regarding the IPCC to the secretariat of the IPCC." and an amusing related memo on how to deal with reporters if you can't avoid them. I particularly enjoyed the list of words that mean one thing to scientists and something else to other people. https://docs.google.com/fileview?id=0B88iFXWgVKt-NDc2N2FiM2QtYzQzYS00MWMxLWE4MGEtZjUwZDlmNzc3MTcz&hl=en

    This. Memo. Is. Awesome.

    quite weird this note of IPCC... I feel more like people have to be educated...
  • Nicholas Lan on 21 Jul 10
     
    i agree. however, (and perhaps it would have been useful to post my source which didn't seem so interesting at the time) the contents of this particular memo seems to have been interpreted as a more or less direct consequence of "ClimateGate" rather than standard practice. http://freakonomics.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/14/what-we-talk-about-when-we-talk-about-climate-change/ On the other hand, I'd suggest that talking to the press is not necessarily a great way of educating the public, there being some truth i think to the contents of the memo.
  • LeopoldS on 21 Jul 10
     
    don't know why this seems weired or shocking - looks like some good practice advice to me
  • pacome delva on 21 Jul 10
     
    well compare to ESA it's sure it doesn't seem weird. Imagine one second a journal article about climate change: "We contacted Dr. X of the IPCC, who refused to answer to our questions..."
  • LeopoldS on 22 Jul 10
     
    this is not what the memo recommends ... it just says speak only about what you can confidently speak about and refer to others for other questions ...

    Why don't you try this out? 10 minutes group meditation before every ACT meeting... Should be fun!

    Great, just great!! The conclusion seems to be "Thus IBMT could provide a means for improving self-regulation and perhaps reducing or preventing various mental disorders." Why all this neuro-bio-nonsense?? Wasn't this conclusion known before just using good old classic psychology and similar? Again one of these studies that thinks to provide new evidence just because they made a boring brain scan...
