The Best Business Model in the World
There are of course examples of businesses that have had extraordinary valuations and liquidations events before they have demonstrated the soundness of a business model. But those businesses are more dependent on timing of value capture than the stability of true customer value and real sustainable cash flow generation.
One of the "golden rules" of investing we have at our firm, Cue Ball, is that we value the business model over the financial plan. In fact, we value the business model over any particular sector for investment and like to say that we are "business model driven"

Generations in China
Many thanks to all who joined the discussion several weeks ago regarding generations in India. This generation learned that affiliating with the "right" people was essential for survival, advice they undoubtedly offered to their children.
Many demonstrated in support of Mao and joined in terrorizing ordinary citizens. I hope those of you who grew up in China will share your formative experiences and the resultant conceptual models that influence your view of today's world. Let me offer an initial overview, based on my research.

Swiss Robot DJ Demonstrates Future Of AI-Human Symbiosis

The Power of Myspace and the 'Myspace Generation'
A lot of people focus on the 'MySpace generation', as though use of this technology were an age-related phenomenon. Nothing in principle prevents adults from becoming as adept as the younger generation.

Jacinta Gascoigne wrote (in a private forum): > How many of you in the community, have a myspace, facebook or Xanga? I do, have had for a couple of

No Implants Needed: Movement-Generating Brain Waves Detected and Decoded Outside the Head
Now, researchers have demonstrated the ability to nonintrusively record neural signals outside the skull and decode them into information that could be used to move a prosthetic. [More]
...Tags: Our bodies are wired to move, and damaged wiring is often impossible to repair. Strokes and spinal cord injuries can quickly disconnect parts of the brain that initiate movement with the nerves and muscles that execute it, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) draw the process out to the same effect.
