  • Self-confidence is common thread

    Moxie may be the only thing that separates young tech entrepreneurs from equally bright peers. A common theme emerged in conversations with a dozen such start-up founders: Self-confidence was evident from what they said and how they said it, with rarely a boast or expression of false modesty. A few are briefly profiled here: Loopt’s Sam Altman: Anywhere else, Altman, 22, would be just another youn

  • Robert Scoble on the Best iPhone Applications | Fast Company

    We had just turned off the video cameras after my interview with Mike Cannon-Brookes, CEO of the enterprise-wiki company Atlassian, when Mike pulled out his iPhone.

The only other person I know whose iPhone usage can match Mike's is my own 14-year-old son, Patr

  • Microsoft in Perfect Position to Undercut Previous Yahoo Offer

    Let me speculate. Microsoft's (MSFT) failure to acquire Yahoo (YHOO) put it in the perfect position to come back at a much lower price. On a cash flow basis, assuming MSN were profitable equal to the rest of Microsoft's properties (i.e. Office and Windows), it would be valued at roughly $10B to $15B for owning 10% of the search market. That would make Yahoo worth $15B-$22.5B for owning almost 15%
