Surprisingly good amount of (vague but) helpful points in there. Robert is a smart guy, especially when you realize that all of his insights and thoughts go from gestation to broadcast in about .043 seconds.

Scoble is passionate and honest… even if he may or may not be right. He wanted it to work. I did a compare a while ago comparing his shows on fastcompany with Podtech. The growth was very impressive :)

Now there is good deal. Buy just about any Mac and get a free itouch or ipod nano. I believe they are doing this since they have the new 3g iphones coming in, but still a good deal anyways.To know more about this please visit http://simplisticthoughts.com/category/linux-an....

Re: “Fire idiots quickly” It's not that I think one shouldn't fire idiots (although I personally try not to hire idiots in the first place) but if one is trying to build “a place where excellence is expected, allowed, and is enabled” being the tough decision maker (vs. inspiring leader), rewarding only revenue (vs. rewarding success/innovation) and firing people (vs. supporting them in a constructive manner to help them succeed) is the way NOT to have that happen - particularly in the digital space where innovation and experimentation means the necessity of the freedom to fail.
