Stressful, to say the least. Now imagine if that panel included the likes of Sergey Brin from Google, Queen Noor of Jordan, Watergate-buster Carl Bernstein, Harvard psychologist Dan Gilbert and Ugandan journalist Andrew Mwenda, and furthermore, imagine if the entire audience was... http://www.jamescogan.com/ http://www.jamescogan.com/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 17:12:09 -0500 As mobile devices like the iPhone gain in prominence and usage, one has to wonder if the telecom company's worst nightmare is indeed coming to fruition. Will flat-rate data plans and sexy mobile computing interfaces turn telecom carriers into a bunch of dumb data pipes? While I can understand on a very 'old skool' business level the fear of losing grip over their customers mobile... http://www.jamescogan.com/ http://www.jamescogan.com/ Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:33:00 -0500 ... http://www.jamescogan.com/ http://www.jamescogan.com/ Fri, 08 Feb 2008 09:21:53 -0500 * I'm sooo late cross-posting this here.

"If The Number '5' License Plate is Worth $6.8 Million, What Is Your Domain Name Worth?" Is it crazy to compare the recent auction frenzy for vanity license plates to the burgeoning domain name aftermarket? According to Traverse Legal, the answer is 'yes'.

Independent thinking, especially in large corporations, is often valued or encouraged until it actually needs to be put into action. At which time, the power hierarchy and the 'save my ass' mentality usually prevents the independent thinkers from ruling the day.
