“Jeff Bezos is outpacing our expectations,” wrote an analyst of Amazon’s CEO…
His much-viewed appearance on ‘The Daily Show with John Stewart’ was classic Bezos, nerdy, smiley, hyperactive. Struggling, just a little, to convince Stewart we’ll all read from slim digital screens in the future, he rocked back and forwards with laughter, like Spock on a rollercoaster.

In the Times today Rob Killick at cScape talks about why we should be encouraging the “spirit of innovation” in the UK today
“...we want post-recession Britain to mean something on the world stage. We do not want to end up as losers in a world of opportunity. And to do that we need politicians who inspire us to achieve things “not because they are easy but because they are hard”.

Our expectation, is that one day we won’t shuffle off this mortal coil, but just go for a refit, an upgrade, popping into Me-Me World at lunch to get memory chips expanded and a couple of heart valves replaced.
