Sony's Digital Book Downloads from the Public Library - BusinessWeek - 0 views
-
One of the neat features of the Sony Reader is that you can “borrow” electronic books from participating libraries, including ones in New York, Chicago and my public library in Seattle. So I went to digital media page on its Web site and searched for Eclipse. It turns out that six of the library’s eight copies of the book in Adobe’s eBook format, which works with Sony’s eBook devices, were available to borrow for 21 days. I typed in my library card number and PIN, clicked download, and a few seconds later, the book was on my PC. Then, I connected the Sony Reader via the USB port and the book zipped over to my device.

Time for action on innovation, not more study By BARRIE McKENNA From Monday's Globe and Mail If more recommendations from important 2008 federal report Compete to Win had been implemented, Ottawa might not still be talking about innovation deficiencies
-
If innovation was measured in the output of reports about innovation, Canada would be a world leader.We're not. We are a laggard. The report tracked Canada's progress over the past two years based on 24 different indicators, such as the percentage of GDP spent on research and development, R&D spending by businesses, investment in machinery and equipment, PhDs and high school test scores. Since the council's initial report in 2008, Canada's performance is down in 15 categories, stagnant in three and improved in just six.

Here's a passage from L.R. (Red) Wilson's seminal 2008 federal report, Compete to Win: "We rank poorly across almost all aspects of innovation: the creation of knowledge, the diffusion of knowledge, the transformation of knowledge and the use of knowledge through commercialization."
