Steve Jobs está vivo - Think Different

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

GIS Webinar - Mobile GIS Technology Trends

No dia 16 deste mês tive a oportunidade de assistir ao webinar "Mobile GIS Technology Trends", cortesia da Geospatial Solutions, by Eric Gakstatter (Editor Geospatial Solutions & GPS World’s Survey Scene Newsletter).

Os tópicos abordados:

• What is Mobile GIS?
• Software trends
• Data trends
• Device trends
• Other trends (GPS, laser, lidar, inertial nav, accelerometer, RF ID, digital camera.  Reduced size, Lower cost & More powerful)

Recomendo a audição/visualização da apresentação, ainda disponível no 1º link desta mensagem (obrigatório registo gratuito).

Para quando a solução óptima para mobile GIS? Estamos quase  lá. Os tablets, os jogos e as aplicações móveis mostram o caminho...

Data Overload and Simplicity

Excertos do artigo "Executive Insight" - Guy Laurence, CEO da Vodafone UK:

“We were brought up to believe more data was good, and that’s no longer true,” he argues.
Laurence refuses to read reports from his product managers with more than five of the vital key performance indicators on them. “The amount of data is obscene. The managers that are going to be successful are going to be the ones who are prepared to take a knife to the amount of data… Otherwise, it’s like a virus."
“Where did it all go wrong?” he continues. “My kids weren’t taught that huge volumes of data were great. Was there a university professor who stood up and said, ‘If you have over 100 indicators you’re a good boy’? Because whoever that professor is, we need to shoot him.”

"When NASA first started sending astronauts into space, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens wouldn’t work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion developing a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on any surface and at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300°C. The Russians used a pencil."
