Apple's lesson ...
“The lesson the world should take from Apple is that a company needs to become multi-dimensional. It needs to mix the core business with the disruptive innovation. It needs to combine the intellectual with the artistic. It needs to maintain within it the rational and the lunatic.”
“Again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

Is the possibility of civil disobedience changing the way the First Amendment is understood?
Before we allow our governments to limit freedom of speech (UK and US are moving in that direction), some thoughts:
Security and freedom are not necessarily tradeoffs.
Great victories for humanity have initiated in protests and non-violent civil disobedience.
Social networks, our ability to self-organize, to produce content, to share, to curate, to collaborate will be fundamental in shifting our direction towards a sustainable and fair society.
