Last class started with gifts to everyone - Martin Varsavsky gave us Foneras, since we heard about this product and idea throughout the whole course. That was smart - guess, which wifi router I will use when come back to my father's appatment?
Ok, it's time to post some notes (those are not direct quotations since sometime I simplify notes).
* If you're always successful, you start beleive in every shit you produce. Moreover, people around you start to believe in the shit you produce. Critical evaluation becomes weaker.
* I was shocked when I told a successful entrepreneur that I amazed by his way of behavior and he answered that his children hate him. Are you sure you want to copy this?
* Google earnings are 5 times less than Microsoft's, but marcap of Google is 2/3 of one MS has. Market surely appreciates Google more than MS and beleives that Google will overcome MS.
* After a failure you may be afraid of starting something new. Martin had a break of couple years after his biggest failure before he shared FON idea at his blog and it was appreciated highly.
* Question to Google owner: What is your limit?
Answer: Electricity.
Btw, computers consume enormous amount of energy. Google consumes the biggest amount of energy in US among corporations. More, than mining companies and aluminium plants.
Well, I will miss this class. It was really insightful.
