Cum trebuie traita viata
Tare a'nceput a'mi place vorba asta:
Ar fi zis'o Ranevskya (Фаина Георгиевна Раневская), eu doar o scriu aici ca apoi sa mi-o asum ca fel de a fi de acu'nainte. In orice limba o fi sa fie!Жить надо так, чтобы тебя помнили и сволочи.
Trebuie sa trăiești astfel încât să te țină minte până şi nemernicii.

What the F**k is Social Media?
If you haven't seen it already, the third installment of the infamous slideshow, "What The F**ck Is Social Media?" has been published over at Slideshare by:
A self-confessed startup junkie, Marta Kagan leads Espresso's growing Boston office. Before joining the Infiltrators, Marta brought her diverse talents, boundless enthusiasm, and always-evolving expertise in digital branding and social media to lead marketing efforts for early stage ventures and global consumer brands like Estee Lauder and AXA Financial. Excruciatingly humble, Marta rarely brags about winning her sixth grade spelling bee or the fact that she is an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru. (Unless you ask her, of course.)
As the outspoken voice behind The Secret Diary of a Bonafide Marketing Genius, Marta writes and speaks frequently about branding and advertising in the digital channel. Her critically-acclaimed viral hit What the F**k is Social Media? has been translated into seven languages.

There's No Such Thing As a Free Patent
The conventional defense of the patent system is that it is essential in order to stimulate creativity. For example, in "Don't Believe the Hype" (Feb. 2005, IP Law & Business), patent attorneys John Benassi & Noel Gillespie conclude that our patent laws continue to "foster innovation."
This is so even though many observers believe our patent system is "out of control and that overworked patent examiners are issuing overly broad patents."
Costs Must Be Considered
But the benefits that flow from the patent system are only half the story, since the system also comes with costs. Even if we are going to adopt a wealth-maximization criterion (which is, admittedly, problematic), we must compare the costs to the benefits to know whether the system is worth having at all.If costs are not taken into account, there are no limits to what could be done to encourage innovation. Some, for example, suggest replacing the patent system with a federal commission that gives taxpayer-funded rewards to inventors deemed worthy. "Under a reward system, innovators are paid for innovations directly by the government (possibly on the basis of sales), and innovations pass immediately into the public domain. Thus, reward systems engender incentives to innovate without creating the monopoly power of intellectual property rights."

"Creditul are o legatura directa pina si cu sexul"
Fragment dintr-un interviu realizat de Oleg S. Rotenstein. Versiunea integrala aici.
Practic, sistemul finaciar modern bazat pe credit ne arunca inapoi in istorie. E o noua forma de sclavagism. Dar e mult mai soft, cu lanturi de aur. E ceea ce eu numesc “Glamour GULAG”. Trebuie sa ne imaginam ca urmatoarea generatie de oameni se vor naste cu datorii, adica total dependenti si legati de sistem. Ei nu vor avea dreptul sa aleaga, caci pentru ei au ales deja parintii, iar pentru parinti au ales deja altii, ei doar au semnat. Cind ai un credit, si cu cit e mai mare, cu atit aceasta increngatura e mai vizibila, nu mai judeci la fel, nu mai actionezi la fel. Orice decizie banala va trece prin prisma valorii creditului. In momentul in care ai un credit, fiecare fraza rostita, fiecare cuvint scris, ficare gest va fi masurat si analizat de 10 ori inainte de a-l face. A propos, as putea “apasa putin pe acceleratie”. Creditul are o legatura directa pina si cu sexul. E o forma perversa de castrare in toate sensurile.

Sondaje manipulatorii (Predicţii, paradoxuri şi ironii)
Mai vechi dar excelent articol al domnului Dragos Paul Aligica publicat in revista 22
"Ori de câte ori un politician român comandă un sondaj manipulator şi consilierii săi îl încurajează, având convingerea că astfel vor putea determina soarta viitorului scrutin electoral, minţile tuturor celor implicaţi se raportează, probabil fără să ştie, la unul dintre cele mai studiate fenomene din domeniul teoriei predicţiei sociale: problema reflexivităţii predictive. Să faci comentarii ironice cu privire la ce este în mintea politicianului român este inutil. Să ridici semne de întrebare cu privire la ce înţelege sau nu înţelege un consultant (român sau străin) despre realitatea înconjuratoare – în afară de faptul că în ea trebuie să aibă loc un transfer monetar – este prematur. În România, consultanţii politici sunt încă priviţi ca şi cum ar fi depozitarii unei ştiinţe sau ai unor secrete profesionale inimaginabile profanilor. Nu sunt. Unii sunt buni manageri şi buni organizatori de campanii. Dar o ştiinţă specială a predicţiei politice nu deţin. Şi acesta este un verdict irevocabil. Să lăsăm însă altora plăcerea de a dovedi şi argumenta, când îi va veni vremea, această revelaţie."
