 | John Mauldin on the Future of Technology
This weeks post from John is very non-financial, but it goes off on an interesting tangent analyzing technology opportunities of the future.
Here are some of the topics he covers and key quotes on each:
Nanoscale: “Batteries made from carbon nanotubes hold tremendous promise for better storage (by 400 times less weight per wat...

| Slow Motion Hummingbird Video
600 frames per second in HD. Very cool.
According to the NewScientist, Male hummingbirds impress mates by diving at high speed, then pulling out at 10 Gs, more than fighter pilots can take.
As they speed towards the ground, they travel nearly 400 times their body length each second.

| 20/20 Rule for Vision Improvement
My eyes continue to get worse every year. I am sure it is because I stare at a computer screen all day every day, and my eye doctors agree.
Katie recently found me a new eye doctor. He had great ratings on Yelp and I must say that he is much better than my Read more articles on this topic at Green Taxi 20/20 Rule for Vision Improvem...

| Human Computer Interface Becomes Minority Report
In college in 2001, I took a class called HCI. Human Computer Interface. It was all about how humans interact with computers. For our final project we created software for an early phase Wacom tablet, which is actually very similar (basic functionality-wise) to what Apple is about to mass produce with the iPad.
Now, in 2010, Read ...

| Behavioral Marketing
From Michael comes a great TED speech by Sendhil Mullainathan on how to use behavioral marketing to solve our real problems.
It jumps around a bit with interesting examples, but the idea all comes together toward the end, so watch the whole thing.

| Fixing Haiti Over the Long Term
Let the corruption begin.
That telethon last week was incredible. We got an all-star concert to watch that brought in $100 million in donations. Donations toward what?
Does anyone really know where their $100 million went? Surely it will go straight into the hands of some homeless Haitian, right?
First of all, I am not sure how mu...

| Two Steps Backwards in the Mortgage Industry
Roger Lowenstein, in the New York Times, suggests that homeowners should walk away from their mortgages. His theory, in effect is that homeowners must walk away from their mortgages in order to straighten up the banks into not lending more than the homes are worth.
I agree with the premise. The system is broken. Banks make Read more ...

| Tiger’s Bad Press
I love the quote I saw in Newsweek yesterday:
“Tiger proved there is such a thing as bad press.”
It is amazing to think about, yet fairly true. There have been very few examples in history where any press cannot work in someone’s favor. Unfortunately for Tiger, he is the exception.
