    Interactive Technologies: The True Game-Changer

    Different technological changes impact business in different ways, but the most powerful is interactive technologies. (This article is not about the company of that name.)

It begins with some positive value provided to customers, and that value typically improve holds over time. The company makes some marginal adjustments to the products that improve the customer experience. But the low-hanging fruit is eventually picked. Further improvements are harder and harder to make. On the sales ...

    EUR/USD: Long Weekend In The US And Canada

    Previous: On Friday, June 30, trading on the euro/dollar pair closed down. On the last day of the week, month and quarter, buyers retreated from the 1.1445 high to 1.1392 (-53). During the month of June, the euro appreciated by 1.55% (+175 pips). During the second quarter, it rose by 7.11% (+750 pips).

Invented by an anonymous programmer and gradually adopted in a globally distributed system run by hobbyists? The whole thing seemed crazy.  I wanted to know more. So I organized one of the earliest national conferences on ...
