An interesting article at Reuters summarizes Sergey and Larry’s talk at TED about the “Google Top 100″ new ideas; the “high-density clusters” of engineers that sparks innovation; and its group-supporting software and room design.
Google’s co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, addressing a technology conference in Monterey, California, on Saturday, said they encourage their employees to […]

So, knowing the various intellectual affinities for robotics and web technology be many of the ISIS crew, I was wondering if we might be able to help my friend with developing and/or architecting his live robot design concept.
His name is Ridha Azaiz, a graduating high school senior in Germany and a rising star is robotics […]

thefacebook.com has now been expanded to include Stanford and Columbia. the Harvard guy somehow got all the information about dorms and classes and integrated it into his system. i’m a little worried about that, because if people start signing up for his system, then we may have a little trouble in differentiating ourselves and stealing […]

David Kelley because he just sees things the rest of us don’t.

We need funding like this for our little incubator.
“In the past year, the college has amassed $5.4 million in state and federal funds for its business incubator that will specialize in assisting design firms in Long Island City.”
The business incubator focuses on Long Island City design firms, but also offers help to other New […]

Google has introduced a wireless version of their shopping service, Froogle. The interface is clean, the functionality simple. It is a perfect example of a service that is more useful once made mobile. Perhaps events@stanford will be the same way…
The question then stands: how long will it take us to beat them? Steve?

TED, the ultimate emerging tech/worldview fest is on now in Monterey.
