As with many things involving the language battles raging in Belgium, this proposal has a slightly surreal feel to it. The transfer of this nature reserve from Flanders to French-speaking Belgium would arguably change the linguistic status of its only permanent inhabitants from Dutch-speaking to French-speaking squirrels.

Manifesto
A Manifesto for the Next Industrial Revolution
Consider this. When the last bubble was in internet technology, welfare was minimally affected – jobs were lost. When it shifted to housing and credit, welfare was affected more – houses and saving were lost.
.
Today, it’s shifting in large part to energy and food. What happens when hypercapitalism causes a food bubble? What happens when the masters of the universe in Greenwich bid up the price of food for India, China, and Africa’s huddled masses?
.
Here’s the answer: marginal starvation. Lives are lost.
…
How do we begin reorganizing the industrial economy? By using markets, networks, and communities to alter the way resources are managed: to weave a fabric of incentives for sustainable growth and authentic value creation into the economy – a new economic fabric that’s meaningful to people.
.
Google utilized a market – AdWords – to utterly eviscerate a stale, broken media value chain. Here’s a more visceral example. Muhammad Yunus revolutionized finance – not by collecting more money to lend, but by using communities to fundamentally alter the value equation of lending to the poor. The result was industry transformation.

ReQuoting pt. 23
I suggest it’s better described as yet another attempt by a big media company to replace the established legal and social order with with a system of private law (the very definition of the word “privilege”) in which a few private organizations get to dictate to the rest of society what the rules will be.
…
The people pushing for this stuff are not well-meaning, and they are not interested in making life better for artists, writers, or any other kind of individual creators. They are would-be aristocrats who fully intend to return us to a society of orders and classes, and they’re using so-called “intellectual property” law as a tool with which to do it.

Overload, Schmoverload: The Myth Of Personal Productivity
While people may think the appropriate unit of measuring the benefits of social tools is personal productivity, it isn’t.
As we have moved from hierarchical, top-down, centralized work … to networked, bottom-up, edgewise work personal productivity has been trumped by network productivity. Network productivity is the effectiveness of a person’s entire network: contacts, contacts of contacts, and so on.
…
Ultimately, in a bottom-up fashion, this leads to the network as a whole making more progress than if each individual tries to optimize personal productivity.
…
Perhaps more importantly, the willingness to assist others leads to closer social connections, and increases the likelihood of reciprocal behavior, where an obsession with personal productivity does not.

Round Trip PDFineering
Google Docs mutiert weiter zu einem Allesschlucker und hat seit kurzem auch einen eingebauten PDF-Viewer und eine korrespondierende Sektion bei den Dokumentetypen. (bis dato konnte man schon gmail dafür verwenden, aber in google docs ist die ansicht viel smoother.) ((ein nützlicher anwendungsfall ist sicher, dass man documente eingeschränkt kollaborativ als .doc erstellt und bearbeitet aber verifizierte versionen davon als .pdf publiziert, qm in a box))
