The Starfish and The Spider by Ori Brafman and Rod Beckstorm A friend recommended me the book 2 months ago. I went to Borders only to be told it will only come out in end Oct. It is a long wait but probably worth it. I havent read it yet but heck, the book has […]

My little Fonera
I met Martin in Japan few months ago where he talks about working with Taiwanese manufacturer to make customized base stations for FON.
