Every time I read one of these, makes me wonder if I'm seeing the next Apple, Microsoft or Google: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2010/01/ces-what-you-missed.html#more It only takes one good call on these small companies. I worked with someone whose college roommate was Steve Ballmer's sister. My friend bought MSFT stock when the question was Bill who? She's living very comfortably, thank you for asking. |

HOLY CARP!!!

Richest anesthesiologist I know went all in on Intel many moons ago. There are not many anesthesiologists who own a chalet in Aspen and a villa in Tuscany. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

If I invested $5k in Wal-Mart when I was born (1982), I'd have almost 3 million dollars right now.
