RIM Director to BlackBerry Critics: No, You’re the Idiots | Techland | TIME.com

Ease of use and range of use requires a lot of thought.

The product needs to sell itself. Marketing is not the weakness, the product needs to outperform the iPad family linked to Apple computers.

RIM has an opportunity, but only a window, to do catchup on Apple. Its management needs to understand the hunger for technology software based on increasingly camera TV like hardware that can do an infnte number of jobs, not just reliability. It's all about integrating more and more gadgets into one object that is portable and high capacity.

The new device is a library, a photographic source and storage device, a movie projector and screen. It will replace the store, the movie house, the camera shop, the preacher, the music bar. It is a portable workd inside your pocket that can capture everything, show everything, decifer everything, treach everything. It's the new indstrial interface for all manufacturing and design. It's the big picture and the library. Its so much that RIM still doesn't get it, but could, and wow.

Minimum is an amazing camera, and amazing screen.
Go beyond 64 gig to 256 gig.
Rev up the motor.
Rev up security.
Bolster the phone and reduce charges per call.
Get all apps to do portrait and landscape.
Improve the art work and ease of use!

The case for celebrities at book festivals | UK news | guardian.co.uk

How much hype should the organising group give a book festival and how far should one move from bookish? These are questions book festival organisers in the UK are asking. Do the books and authors properly promoted sell themselves or do you want to defray costs by adding celebrities from outside the book world? The celebrities help lower averge costs assuming more people attend. The question to ask is whether the festival is self sustaining as a book festival or should another name be given to it, such as arts festival.

The new ball game in transportation vehicles

You just know in your gut that a revolution in transportation is just around the corner. It is! Sure gas or solid fuel vehicles will be around as hybrids before the new technology. But, they are only stopgaps to the ultimate substitution. 

Electric energy driving everything from transportation to homes has to be the way forward. Over time smaller and smaller lighter and lighter energy units will power everything, make everything mobile, efficient and capable. 

The economies of scale in manufacture will eliminate numerous traditional industries and create new ones. 

Yes, we are headed towards a cleaner world. Just look and see:
