Shocking for solutions

Very interesting..

Research subjects who received electrical stimulation of the anterior temporal lobes of the brain were 3 times more likely to come up with the fresh insight needed to solve a difficult, unfamiliar problem than people in a control group, according to Richard Chi and Allan Snyder of the University of Sydney. The researchers say they envision a future when noninvasive brain stimulation is briefly employed for solving problems that have evaded traditional cognitive approaches.

Give everyone a device that shocks your anterior temporal lobe to make everyone more innovative problem solvers. I would like one.

[Business] Good, Cheap and Fast?

Dear Customer, you can have any of the following, but pick any 2.
- Good
- Cheap
- Fast

If you want Good and Cheap - it won't be Fast.
If you want Cheap and Fast - it won't be Good.
And, if you really want Good and Fast - no way will it be Cheap.

I like this comment that was left on a blog for the book "Do More Faster" (Source: AVC.com)
