Memristor - HP Labs
The memristor — short for memory resistor - could make it possible to develop far more energy-efficient computing systems with memories that retain information even after the power is off, so there's no wait for the system to boot up after turning the computer on. It may even be possible to create systems with some of the pattern-matching abilities of the human brain.

Nokia Culture Will Out
Adam Greenfield on Nokia failure, "the company utterly failed to anticipate, understand or organize itself to deal with the critical thing that happened at the cusp of the Ollila-Kalasvuo transition. This was that you could no longer think of mobile phones as communication devices. You had to conceive of them as interface objects through which users would experience content and command functionality that ultimately lived on the network."
Why LinkedIn is more valuable than Facebook
Facebook is not particularly regarded for its ability to give its members value back on their own data. While it’s very easy to get data into Facebook, it’s very difficult to get data out and in a meaningful way. Simply charting your friends’ geographical spread is difficult (join the Facebook Data Team page to stay appraised of the latest). Beyond suggesting new friends, Facebook does little to share back with the community the incredible insights it gathers about its users.
