Peter Thiel To The New Yorker: “I Don’t Consider [The iPhone] To Be A Technological Breakthrough” Peter Thiel is a grump, but a special kind of grump. He is a dystopian utopian (if such a person can exist). The investor who wrote the first check for Facebook both believes in the power of technology to transform our lives, and is perennially disappointed by it.
A lengthy profile in the November 28, 2011 edition of the New Yorker (summary here) states: “his main lament is that America—the country that invented the modern assembly line, the skyscraper, the airplane, and the personal computer—has lost its belief in the future.” It is an argument he’s made before. Last September, at Disrupt SF he made the case that innovation is dead across most of the economy (you can watch the video of the session below). He is co-authoring a book on the subject with Max Levchin and Gary Kasparov, called The Blueprint. But what about something like the iPhone?

A modifier key alters the way other keystrokes or mouse/trackpad clicks are interpreted by OS X. Modifier keys include: Command, Shift, Option, Control, Caps Lock, and the Fn key. You may need to use the Fn key in some of the key combinations listed below.
Here are the modifier key symbols you may see in OS X menus: Startup shortcuts Press the key or key combination until the expected function occurs/appears (for example, hold Option during startup until Startup Manager appears).

Five trends that will dominate the “cloud” in 2012. 2011 has been an exciting year for the cloud. Companies are starting to accept the idea of using internet-based services instead of servers they control themselves. That in turn has driven a push to make the technologies more mature — and the tech companies making those technologies are growing up too. 2012 will be a banner year for cloud technologies, from real business models that don’t just push free products to developing the way companies use the cloud to enable better and smarter ways to work.
It’s with that backdrop that I envision the following five trends coming to prominence over the next year. From VentureBeat 1. Hybrid is the new black – and we’re not talking cars. The amorphous “cloud” has certainly laid its claim to many hearts and minds, but enterprises aren’t going to just jump ship overnight. Time has already shown us that big enterprises are not the most adaptable of environments. 2. Cloud technologies are key to making tablets into useful business tools. 3. 4. 5.
