Estrin talks about the personal connectivity cycle. The cycle of connecting people is the notion of people being able to connect to each other and connect to information anywhere. This means true mobility and ubiquitous, high bandwidth connectivity, she says. The enablers of this cycle are economic and behavioral. From an IT demand perspective, she explains, the real win is in the consumer devices and services and not in the IT...more

May 2, 2008 lecture by Krzysztof Gajos for the Stanford University Human Computer Interaction Seminar (CS547). User Interfaces delivered with today's software are usually created in a one-size-fits-all manner, making implicit assumptions about the needs, abilities, and preferences of the "average user" and the characteristics of the "average device." Krzysztof Gajos argues that personalized user interfaces, which are adapted to a persons...more

April 18, 2008 lecture by Steve Whittaker for the Stanford University Human Computer Interaction Seminar (CS547). Steve Whittaker reviews the Digital Memories vision, briefly present various studies that challenge that vision, moving on to suggest an alternative approach to the topic that is informed by cognitive science, suggesting that instead of focusing on exhaustive capture we should be designing prosthetic memory devices that are...more

Ken Wirt, senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing at palmOne, graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in the psychology of kinetic media - the evolution of how one media, such as television, turns into another, like computers. He worked for a couple small companies before attending business school at Stanford. He then got into computers at Atari, handheld devices at Apple, and online music at a startup called...more

Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson all began as single-product ventures, says Mir Imran, CEO of InCube Labs and serial entrepreneur of medical devices. And while the medical community is rife with single-product ventures, a few of them do go on to become large enterprises offering a suite of products in multiple markets. What sets the bar for each venture? The market viability for each product they produce.

Hennessy explians that the biotech and biomedical space are characterized by the importance of patents. Contrarily, patents are not crucial in intellectual property companies because there are often many comparable ways to do the same thing. Additionally, most IT companies spun out of a university fail because they miss the market window, not because the technology fails. For biotech companies, success is much more based on the patent...more

Dell describes the PC industry today as a jump ball environment where no company can stay in a strong position for long. The development of wireless networks, miniaturization, and the influence of the internet has changed the competitive landscape of the industry, he says. One of the biggest threats is the changing computing model. To combat this threat, Dell, Inc. is focused on online servers and storage, new online devices, and...more

Winblad talks about how the market is driven by consumers who want connectivity across devices, customizable products, and fair prices. Communication and collaboration are key to delivering the product the consumers want, she notes. The pricing structure cannot just be made up -- a company must demonstrate they can deliver undeniable short-term return on investment to the customer in order to justify the price.
