CU there - Vincent RITHNER

I went home and Google'd him and learned he co-discovered the Ebola virus. Some people, when you meet them, you just know they are smart. They exude smartness. They make you feel humble without even saying a single word. I felt that around Peter Piot, I shot his badge, not to remember his face but so I would remember his name to do some research on later. I was blown away. This is the problem with Davos. You get thrust into a room with 50 interesting people and you have no idea what makes them interesting. I wish I had known more about Peter before I had met him, but there is something interesting about the serendipity of meeting someone new. Some of the most interesting people I've met have been people I've met out of the blue. How about you? - Robert Scoble from Bookmarklet

It's funny when he liked an item in there http://friendfeed.com/e... I was thinking, "the name's familiar" and was Googling it then Maureen chipped in and I was like 'wow' too, it's a small world on the internets. - Sally Church

"The processor uses Intel’s Turbo Boost Technology " --> Just like KITT in Knight Rider - RAPatton

"KITT, come here, I need you!" - Anthony Citrano

lots of people get addicted but I don't think it's networks' fault, it's just what's every person's character is - Apostolos Papadopoulos

i agree, these people would get addicted to a MMO or a TV series or something. Me? i can stop whenever I feel like it - Iphigenie

I can't think of many better ways to satisfy information cravings. We're learning, meeting people, and generally improving ourselves. It helps if you blog regularly and force yourself to analyze things. I guess I could just as easily spend 4 hours a day *only* reading other peoples' Facebook status updates. That might be a little harder to spin as value-added time. - Daniel J. Pritchett

"If you type “WAIT6502,1″ into a Commodore PET with BASIC V2 (1979), it will show the string “MICROSOFT!” at the top left corner of the screen. Legend has it Bill Gates himself inserted this easter egg “after he had had an argument with Commodore founder Jack Tramiel”, “just in case Commodore ever tried to claim that the code wasn’t from Microsoft”. In this episode of “Computer Archeology“, we will not only examine this story, but also track down the history of Microsoft BASIC on various computers, and see see how Microsoft added a second easter egg to the TSR-80 Color Computer - because they had forgotten about the first one." - Cee Bee from Bookmarklet

"""Jim Butterfield: Shortly after that implementation, I show this to Len Tramiel [of Commodore engineering] at the Commodore booth of a CES show. He was enraged: “We have a machine that’s short of memory space, and the #$#!* [Gates] put that kind of stuff in!!” """ - nadim

something tells me you will like it :) - Frederic

After a particularly poor, frustrating and annoying week in the service of others, four posts that make the weekend start with a buzz. Independent consultants need a pep talk and this was it. - Ian D. Nock

that just made me spit my coffee - Erin @queenofspain

Wow, I can't believe that a candidate would lack computer skills some 20 years after they've been in use. I suppose he's had secretaries, law clerks and aids his entire professional life so he didn't *need* to use a computer per se. This is astounding to me and clearly seems untenable for a Presidential candidate today. - Susan Beebe

Funny! - Jigar Mehta
