Fred Wilson Here is one question and my answer: CM: Historically, as the economy comes out of recession, it creates transformation and change. Which segments have the potential for transformation in an eventual recovery? FW: Every industry that is based on knowledge or information or some other form of non-physical matter (atoms vs bits) is going to fundamentally transform and this downturn will be the darwinian forcing function.

Hello, Marshal,

John Crisp: A few questions for Sister Sarah | Oakland Tribune | Find Articles at BNET Image via Wikipedia Straight Talk From an Educator ! "Even worse, some of the edge in Palin's speech likely arises from the arrogance of a certain kind of intolerant religious faith that is very much at odds with the humility inherent in the teachings of Christ. People who buy into this version of faith don't have much patience with those who don't, and the certitude of their convictions sometimes leads them to take positions that seem doubtful to strictly rational people."

Initial thoughts on the Palin nomination Friday, August 29, 2008 by Dave Winer. 1. It certainly was creative and thought-stimulating.   2. However... it shows McCain thought he was losing to Obama and needed to do something bold that would stir things up. And he certainly did that.  3. However... no matter how well they vetted her, even if nothing terrible shows up, she has no experience in the world, and virtually no experience in the United States. What does she know about American cities? Our industries and businesses? Economic issues? Balance of trade? The military? Katrina? He picked her because she was the governor from the state that was furthest away from Washington. Point made. But despite what the Republicans say about her qualifications, she has no grounding to run this country. Might as well pick someone from another country.   4. They say she's as qualified as Obama, but that's wrong. They should get to know Obama's background and how intelligent and studious and thoughtful he is. Read his books. He's incredibly well educated, and I'm sorry running a successful campaign for the Democratic nomination for President is much more experience than being the governor of a very small state with no budget problems (they have a built-in surplus because of tax revenue from their natural resources and a very small population to spread it out over -- Alaska is a very strange state, unlike any of the other 49).
