Lessons from Silicon Valley

Joe Kraus could have been as big as Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the Stanford University students who invented the search engine Google in 1998.

But while Mr Brin and Mr Page have become the wealthy
owners of a big chunk of what has become the most valuable media
company in America, Mr Kraus has been less fortunate.

Don't feel too sorry for him, though: Mr Kraus is only 34 and he's certainly not poor.

But his story is perhaps more revealing than Google's, because of the lessons he's learnt.

Nokia Morph

Nokia yeni nəsil telefonlar üzərində işləyir. Videodaki telefon yaxın gələcəyin gerçəyidir.
Buyurun həzz alın.

Morph, a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK) - was launched today alongside the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition, on view from February 24 to May 12, 2008, at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Morph features in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA's official website.

Morph is a concept that demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Dr. Bob Iannucci, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia, commented: "Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible".

Armenian International Conspiracy

Main article: Armenian conspiracy theories

Samuel A. Weems (December 12, 1936— January 25, 2003) was a writer and a disbarred lawyer in Arkansas, United States.^[20] In his book, Armenia: The Secrets of a Christian Terrorist State (2002), he stated that the Armenian Genocide was a gigantic fraud designed to "fleece" Christian nations out of billions of dollars. He also claimed that the Armenian Church was a "state owned" entity that organises and funds terrorist (including ASALA) attacks and that Armenians had "infiltrated" the United States.^[21] That book states that Armenian Diaspora communities in the United States and throughout the world are actually "colonies:" political bases intended to gain money and support for Armenian Republic. The book also claims Armenia is founded on land stolen from Muslims and that Armenians have perpetrated enormous massacres against Turks and Azeris, both recently (in the Nagorno-Karabakh war) and in the past. He has been quoted as saying "The religion of the Armenians is fake" and that his research shows "that there is clearly an Armenian Master Plan that generates Armenian hate around the world."^[22] Prior to his death in 2003, he was preparing to write a second book claiming the international Armenian community collaborated with and supported Nazi Germany.

The book is available in several online bookstores in United States and Europe. It has also been translated in Turkish and distributed in Turkey.^[24]

Belief in an "Armenian International Conspiracy," that ethnic Armenians are attempting to change history and hide certain facts for political gain, can also be encountered in Azerbaijan,^[25] which has clashed with Armenia over Nagorno Karabakh, a de facto independent republic, officially part of Azerbaijan. Many Azeris believe that the Sumgait pogrom, where ethnic Azeris massacred Armenians during the dissolution of the Soviet Union, was in fact intentionally provoked by Armenians for propaganda purposes.
