Such a simple idea, but so tearjerking. Users send in pictures of a scene from the past placed in front an actual scene from the present and add a poignant caption. Absolutely definitely check out the website, weep, and then buy the book.
]]>There are some real nuggets on this clip from former professional Apple evangelist and present-day venture capitalist Guy Kawasaki.
]]>I mean, just listen to some of these suggestions for what the smartphone of the future will look like! Steve Jobs is turning in his grave. But seriously, it will be interesting to see what "Made of Imagination" really means to Sony in a world where every Android phone is all but identical. Smells like BS to me...

]]>Vodafone believes that working smarter will help businesses survive and thrive in a challenging economic climate. The mobile group's UK operating company is undergoing a seismic cultural shift, using its own technology to introduce a new way of working, which it believes will provide a blueprint for all businesses and organisations in the 21st century. At the heart of this transformation is the notion that it is not just what you do, but how you do it that determines business success.
Over the past two years, Vodafone UK has demonstrated new ways of working that combine communication tools, flexible working hours and locations and a highly efficient utilization of building space. Vodafone's new working style is rooted in changes in the physical environment aimed at creating a more flexible, more efficient, and more productive organisation. It is a change that Vodafone is now ‘productising’ and taking to the rest of corporate Britain.
Changing the way everyone within a business works not only reduces costs but improves productivity and speed to market. It is also helps an organisation attract, and get the most out of, the new, technologically literate, Generation Y. But adopting a new way of working is not easy, it demands buy-in from all layers of an organisation. There can be no wall flowers at this party.
It sounds intriguing, because it makes perfect sense, but the trick is clearly in convincing everyone that it can be done. We are proud to say we have been heavily involved in this process and have helped create a real buzz around the company. It has been great to be involved in - and this is only the beginning. Watch this space.

For Moore on this, check out the No Straight Lines website (and book).
]]>The problem we have essentially found is that management doesn't have time to even glance at tools that will certainly make their work more effective and enjoyable than ever. It would be equally short- sighed of us NOT to insist that these tools are not only understood, but also used on a day-to-day basis. Change does not happen on its own.
]]>So simple, yet so effective at making me feel quesy.
