A brief editorial comment on the problem of conflicts of interest that emerge between companies that sponsor academic research and the recipients of such grants. Of course, when the field is pharmaceuticals, the problems become very big.

Marco Cantamessa on 27 Jul 09

The diffusion of netbooks exhibits many interesting traits of radical and disruptive innovation: the change in technical tradeoffs and product architecture (though not of core technology), the downsizing in performance (good enough for a new market), the inertia shown by incumbents.

The cloud computing paradigm is getting closer. Now Google is launching Chrome as an OS. While there appears to be widespread acceptance of the paradigm, we should not forget that Microsoft is strongly entrenched as a standard. The Chrome browser still has 2% market share!

Things are moving in the world of automotive. Now parterships are under way to provide the necessary infrastructure for electric vehicles (at this time, no one is talking about hydrogen any more). What will be the impact on the automotive industry? And what about the gasoline distribution industry?
