It is so great that we use it for sales presentations while on the road. The Flashy-ness of the phone really lends itself to presentations. Of course, Hollywood has placed Apple products for years based upon the same reasoning. http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/02/iphone-flashy-but-not-flash.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/02/iphone-flashy-but-not-flash.html Technology VisualShare flash iphone support Thu, 21 Feb 2008 17:24:58 -0700 After committing myself to not being an early technology adopter I have gone and done it.

The article makes the the important point that academic institutions are full of innovation and represent a portfolio of inventions that have high commercial potential. Of course, the potential is only realized with seasoned management. No argument here. However, he makes the case that VC's are not tapping into this value and would be well served to do so.]]> http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/01/vcs-are-in-school.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/01/vcs-are-in-school.html Investment VisualShare academic commercialization commercialization innovation licensing technology venture capital Thu, 03 Jan 2008 09:20:05 -0700 On Dec 29, 2007 the Wall Street Journal published an article called "VC's New Math: Does Less = More?". The article showcases the approach of Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and their recent success with Facebook. Their approach seems to make some sense. In a nutshell, the article makes the argument for smaller amounts of venture investments (less than $1 M) as opposed to apparent $2M rule of thumb. http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/01/less-more-for-new-era-of-ventu.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2008/01/less-more-for-new-era-of-ventu.html Investment Technology VisualShare capital investment risk startup venture Wed, 02 Jan 2008 15:37:59 -0700 Guy Kawasaki made an interesting point at an innovation presentation I attended yesterday. He recognized that when building a business based on a new innovation it is vital to stay focused. Innovators have many ideas for new products or services that could fit into many different markets and as a result, I believe, are not focused. However, to be successful one has to focus. Investors want to see a focused plan, employees need a clear target and customers need a clear message. http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/11/focus-v-tunnel-vision.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/11/focus-v-tunnel-vision.html Investment Technology business entrepreneur innovation technology Sat, 03 Nov 2007 12:09:00 -0700 Guy Kawasaki (the famous Apple Evangelist) on innovation.

Most people know presence by way of instant messaging. They log-in to their instant messenger or chat application and their "presence" appears to all other users in their "buddy list". For the most part this is where it ends.

In the same issue there was an article about how Microsoft is creating a Web portal called HealthVault.com to store people's medical information. The Op-Ed article was right-on (IMHO) in its conclusion that primary care and prevention are the keys to reducing medical care costs and improving health care outcomes. Note that healthcare costs are the highest in the US when compared to all industrialized nations while healthcare outcomes are far from the highest--meaning that the US pays much more money for lower quality healthcare. I question, however, whether or not HealthVault is what we need. I certainly agree that a person's patient information is their property, however, it is not clear to me that HealthVault anything beyond a storage mechanism for healthcare data. The marketing hype for HealthVault talks about sharing patient data with a variety of medical providers by having the medical provider interact with HealthVault. http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/10/microsofts-healthvault-is-this.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/10/microsofts-healthvault-is-this.html Collaboration Imaging::Medical Technology emr healthcare medical record Tue, 09 Oct 2007 11:02:22 -0700 Wikipedia and I am certain that I do not scratch the surface. ]]> http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/10/wikipedia-wowagain.html http://www.visualshare.com/metablog/2007/10/wikipedia-wowagain.html Collaboration Imaging::Medical Imaging::Scientific Technology Wed, 03 Oct 2007 13:47:44 -0700 FISH (or Fluorescent in situ hybridization) images (sample image).
