From the "sex sells" dept., no matter how bad anybody's economy gets, there is never a dearth of images of pam anderson to stimulate sales (or page views). If only I worked out at this club, maybe I'd get to look at her - or better yet - maybe she'd look at me. must work. The gym did look a bit empty though. I did notice while walking around Wan Chai today that hardly anybody was using a mobile phone, and those that were had that good 'ol killer app "talking" in use. no content like your own voice to stimulate use. Please God make there be as many people in Korea using mobile phones as in Japan! I mean, how much bad news can there be? Sprint issued a warning that I can feel over here in Hong Kong today. I'm afraid to hit that "my yahoo" button and see another day of red text on the left side of the page. Please let there be green text in Q3 and Q4. This industry needs an enema - the financial industry too. Needs to clear out the bad stuff so everybody can focus. In the latest issue of MIT's Technology review is an article by Innovator's Dillema author Clayton Christiansen about the need to watch what people do instead of trying to extrapolate from their behavior to what they are supposed to like to do. His example is of people developing study aids for students that were never used when instead they should have created a system like cramming.com that helped people do what they really want to do. I'd say a better example is the now defunct notion that the wireless internet=wireless+internet. We now know that does not work, but, that something like a WIRELESS BLOG would really be the ticket;)... I felt like going up to all the folks in this highly penetrated market and shaking them "where's your phone, dammit! why aren't you using your phone? what's the matter with you? I'm a backwards american who, as we all know, is clueless about wireless - the press tells me so every day - so you savvy asian you, why aren't you on your phone??"
