Using Mobile Devices for Surveys in Public Health and Disease Surveillance. Tuesday, October 11, 2011. My eulogy for Steve Jobs. I have been pondering over the many undoubted achievements of Steve Jobs but would have to stop short of any hagiographic treatment that he is now getting. The kind of media frenzy that is going on is absolutely unquestioned. I don't hear many contrary points of view. Was he perfect? One important lesson is that product development is not always about technology, but how you ma...

Using Mobile Devices for Surveys in Public Health and Disease Surveillance. Thursday, September 25, 2008. The Spiritual Linkage Between the Indian Mythological Character of Ekalavya and the Modern Concept of Open Courseware. Back in 2001 MIT took an unprecedented step when it announced its intention to make most of its courses and course materials freely available on the Internet over the next few years. Today MIT has advanced significantly towards this goal, with the school’s Open CoursewareWeb. So what...

Shashank Garg: Microsoft's entry into OLPC Project, and Walter Bender's exit!!
http://shashankgarg.blogspot.com/2008/05/microsofts-entry-into-olpc-project-and.html
Using Mobile Devices for Surveys in Public Health and Disease Surveillance. Thursday, May 29, 2008. Microsoft's entry into OLPC Project, and Walter Bender's exit! No matter how relevant and exciting the OLPC technology might have been, that is not the way to gouge poorer countries with unproven concepts and products. Poor countries have scarce resources and have the right to prioritize usage in their own unique ways. Then, this recent OLPC tie-up with M$ has come as an absolute shocker. The initial f...

Using Mobile Devices for Surveys in Public Health and Disease Surveillance. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. SRI - Socially Responsible Investing: A new paradigm? But another key constituent in the social eco-system, the social investor, has her own set of problems. Her big challenge is to choose from amongst a range of social initiatives and decide which one gives the biggest bang for the buck. Is this a new paradigm for age-old philanthropy? Is it new wine in an old bottle? Is there a problem of plenty here?

Using Mobile Devices for Surveys in Public Health and Disease Surveillance. Thursday, May 27, 2010. Folks and potential Customers, please look at open-source applications too. I cannot understand why the likes of Apple and Microsoft can generate so much passion, debate. and brouhaha. Whether Apple has overtaken Microsoft as the technology company with the largest market-cap is immaterial to me? Why not look at the possibilities that the open-source software model has to offer? Go ahead. After all it ...

A blog to describe my experiences creating a mobile storytelling project during my Fellowship at Stanford's Digital Vision program. Wednesday, December 13, 2006. Vlog 5: Steve's business plan. Yesterday, I went down to Stanford to help Steve. With his business plan and overall mission statement. It was a great workshop with his mentor, another DV fellow, and some other folks. I also learned that Molo is Xhosa for Hello. I love languages. :) So Molotech is just Hello Technology. Links to this post.
