- [via Yuvaraj] From a paper by Howard Gardner presented in 2001 on the education of children and adolescents: I will argue that we should depend primarily on two foundations or bases: the science of learning, and our own values as human beings living in communities. Let me comment on both. First, the Science of Learning: |

- The Economist takes a look at innovation in big companies, suggesting that "rather than chasing wonder new products, [they]should focus on making lots of small improvements:" Blockbuster new products are harder and harder to come by, and big companies can do much better if they focus on making lots of small things better. Adrian Slywotzky of Mercer Management Consulting says that, in most industries, truly differentiating new-product breakthroughs are becoming increasingly rare. William Baumol, a professor at New York University, argues that big companies have been learning important lessons from the history of innovation. Consider, for example, that in general they have both cut back and re-directed their R&D spending in recent years. |

- NYTimes has a profile: In just two and a half years, Mr. Jobs, Apple's chief executive, has managed to take a well-designed hand-held gadget, add software connecting it to Macintoshes and Windows-based personal computers and convince the recording industry that he has found an elegant solution for ending its nightmare of digital piracy. In doing so, he has shifted the emphasis of Apple from what made it famous - hip, even lovable computers - to what he hopes will keep it relevant and profitable in the future: products for a digital way of life. |

Metaweb (Apr 25 2004 23:21 GMT) - [via Prakash Swaminathan] Nova Spivack has a nice post on what he calls as the Metaweb - the web which connects Intelligence (also see the graphic): The Metaweb is the coming "intelligent Web" that is evolving from the convergence of the Web, Social Software and the Semantic Web. The Metaweb is starting to emerge as we shift from a Web focused on information to a Web focused on relationships between things --- what I call "The Relationship Web" or the "Relationship Revolution." We see early signs of this shift to a Web of relationships in the sudden growth of social networking systems. As the semantics of these relationships continue to evolve the richness of the "arcs" will begin to rival that of the "nodes" that make up the network. |

Or perhaps it's for movie fans to get better acquainted with the comic book. Whatever. Taste the wonders of a Hellboy timeline and a videographed Mike Mignola interview.... |
