Well, I´ve recently posted here of changing your view of your company from the inside out. Now it came to my mind, that my designers are just doing that every day: They have to be very empathically, crawling into our customers heads, trying to find out what thoughts they have for their design. They start with a variety of several solutions, making prototypes, revolving the problem, and find the best way for our customers. So, this is exactly how leaders should try to run their company: get into the view of your customers, and involve them into your process of optimization.

This post from David Weinberger has some interesting aspects of the power and the structure of the internet: Taking the „Dean Campaign“ as an example he says, that the net is absolutely democratic, and information goes from a sender to an receipient – there´s no control. So, making a „campaign“ is a contradiction in its term itself: you can´t just determine what your receipients will see, they will take what they want to. I think, its a good example in the context of DRM: the internet will alwys be independent; users will always get what they want.

As CNET reports, Gmail is under fresh attack of the European Privacy Group based in London. „Privacy International alleges that the Gmail service violates privacy law, both in Europe and in other countries. The complaint identifies a wide range of possible breaches of European Union law,“ director Simon Davies told Reuters. Backround is Googles announcement on seraching all the mails for keywords in order to deliver the right AdSense-Adverts inside the emialbodies. Let´s see how Google will deal with that. I bet they will change some of their sensing technoogy in order fit a legal suit. The business with 1 GB emailstorage and google search technology is too big to risk a stop by law.

Well, I think this is a quite complicated view of the role of Mr. Bush. The article mentions, that Bush claimed China as the next big opponent in the world after the former soviet-union was broken down in it´s role as a „superpower“. Additionaly Bush´s claim of „You are with us, or you are against us“ during the building of the anti-terror-alliance, was of an „international dialectic“, and therefore marxistic point of view. I have to add, that „marxism“ is of a social-, and „dialectic“ is of a philosphical context – so the author´s argumentation is quite wrong in this way. He also mentions, that 9/11 was a consequence of the different roles of the administration: Miss Rice as conservative, Mr Powell as liberal and Mr. Bush as a „neo-marxist“ had different interests in the way they wanted to lead the USA in international relationships. But can that be all? What about the fights between CIA, FBI etc…Though I think the author has got an interesting point of view, i believe, that the catastrophy of 9/11 was a consequence of a lot of mistakes and ignorements…
