Gary Hamel: The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500

Gary Hamel: The Facebook Generation vs. the Fortune 500

This caught my eye considering how often these elements crop up in my Fortune 500 existence.  Here are the 12, but the details in each are worth reading in the article…

  1. “All ideas compete on equal footing.
  2. Contribution counts for more than credentials.
  3. Hierarchies are natural, not prescribed.
  4. Leaders serve rather than preside.
  5. Tasks are chosen, not assigned.
  6. Groups are self-defining and -organizing.
  7. Resources get attracted, not allocated.
  8. Power comes from sharing information, not hoarding it.
  9. Opinions compound and decision are peer-reviewed.
  10. Users can veto most policy decisions.
  11. Intrinsic rewards matter most.
  12. Hackers are heros.”

Mini vMac – Mac Plus Emulator

Mini vMac – Mac Plus Emulator

So I might be the only person at work with a Mac Plus in their office.  And I’m almost certain I’m the only person with both one at the office and at home.  So why do I need an emulator running under OS X?  I find it strange I’m willing to put hours into making it work, yet can’t quite answer that question.
