Book Recommendation: Everything and More - David Foster Wallace

alwint — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 18:57:48 +0000

Everything and More - follows the descent and exploration of Georg Kantor through infinity. The properties of infinity were avoided and left in a box through much of the development of mathematics. Kantor through his work developed a framework for dealing with infinities; are certain infinities larger than others, it turns out, yes.

Part journalism, part math textbook, part biography and a writer’s narrative, the book doesn’t fit easily into a traditional genre, rather it satiates the need for context at various points through Kantor’s work on infinity.

The late David Foster Wallace, non-traditional as alway, with his analytic and whimiscal mind leads us through both the depression and mania of Kantor’s life.

Howard Schultz speaking in LA. It is interesting to note his relationship and view of Wall Street and the investor community. Schultz speaks about his willingness to sacrifice short-term results for residual long-term growth. Wise, bold and a luxury for a large public company. Whether or not you love/hate or ambivalent about him or his company, it grew to prominence through soft factors, by understanding the consumer. It is a study in how a company with no technological advantage can excel in the competitive marketplace.

Google to introduce PC Operating System in 2nd Half of 2010

alwint — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 04:00:25 +0000

Article reproduced from Globe and Mail:

In its most direct challenge yet to rival Microsoft Corp., Google Inc. (GOOG-Q402.495.861.48%) is developing an operating system for personal computers based on its Chrome Web browser.

Google is looking to attract a large initial audience accustomed to its brand and ease of use when the operating system is launched in the second half of 2010. Read the full article here.
