Hurrah for Satya! Finally, Any Colour Highlighting!!!! Yay!
Paint can't do it. Gimp can't do it.

Just kidding boys. Enjoy the better docs. Convey ideas to your team in a jiffy.

The World Class Brain : Simon Ramo
Use your brain - and keep sharpening it. It doesn't get better than this..
Got 2 PhD's by the age of 23. Accumulated 25 patents before his 30th birthday. Did aerospace stuff and also developed GE's electron microscope.
Man, what would I not give... and he lived to be 103 too.. The father of the ICBM. Got to work with John von Neumann as well..

Aus Heute's Journal : Yona Goldrich
After escaping the holocaust at age 14 and arriving in America by way of the Hungarian forest and Israel, der Mensch hoped to go to MIT, but had to settle work in Los Angeles due to poor English skills (lesson : learn the lingo - you don't get very far if you can't speak the language that's in vogue).
There he built a real e empire.
"I don't tell you if you do a good job - because that's what I hired you for. I only tell you if you do a bad job."
"I'd rather not be a deal that would make me money than be in a deal that will lose me money."
"Don't tell me how much this deal will make me. Tell me how much I can lose."

Except When One Really Needs It
Shame on you Sling. I thought I could watch the game sitting down. In the end, had to head back to the gym to watch it standing on a treadmill and posing like a DirecTV dish. *ds!
