The age of electric cars
The electric green valley car with lot of promise. Flashy, $98k tag and fast. Team is impressive: 250 employees in all create a new car, focus on core differentiating features, outsource mundane stuff and manufacturing, core tech and the bet is on laptop batteries (lots of them); and invent their own business model in mature auto segment.

…how we change the fundamental nature of the Web. Web 2.0, mash-ups, and feeds are interesting, but they are step one of a two-step process. The Web today is a push model. People write content that is pushed out to people who read it. Programmers write Web applications that end users “use.” People write mash-ups or scripts to access the “pushed” content. These applications run on the PC today, but I believe that they could migrate into the Internet “cloud.” The Internet now becomes the programmable Internet and can run my applications for me.
