Cloud computing

Ray Ozzie:

The sentiment is clear:

Just packing software, collecting money, and then producing a new version a few years later (wheter people want one or not) is no longer a sustainable plan. The relationship with customers must be constant and continuous. Instead of discrete one time transactions, the money - wheter from subscriptions fees or advertising - will flow constantly. For the user, everything will happen when it's needed, as if pulled down from a cloud. (cloud computing)

Ozzy draws the line at the idea that you can do anything and everything in the cloud, that every application can become web-based, that the desktop is dead. Some things, he says, still require local computing, offline persistence, and the control that only one's own desktop processor offer.

Ray Ozzie is the writer of Symphony and Lotus Notes. He said Google is more rival that Steve Jobs.

"I love competitions. But when we're behind a competitor, I hate it when we find ourselves just chasing their tailligths."

The pursuit of happyness

Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. Don't even me (the father tell to his son).

You got a dream. You gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves they want to tell you, you can't do it.

If you want something, go get it. Period.

Be confident !!!

You can make more friend in two months by becoming interested in other people that you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what your heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.

Dale Carnegie

Charles Connolly

"Be not too slow in the breaking of a sinful custom; a quick, courageous resolution is better than a gradual deliberation; in such a combat he is the bravest soldier that lays about him without fear or wit. Wit pleads, fear disheartens; he that would kill Hydra had better strike off one neck than five heads: fell the tree, and the branches are soon cut off.

Francis Quarles

Saturday:

"If I had an hour to solve a problem and my life depended on the solution, I would spend the first 55 minutes determining the proper question to ask, for once I know the proper question, I could solve the problem in less than five minutes."

Albert Einstein
