It also appears that the g0rilla speak is very subjective You will find that we use the definitions very objectively on this thread, gao. You will find my "cheat sheet" from the book below that defines these terms. 127.0.0.1:3456/SI/~wsapi/investor/reply-7991640 The reason we are so hard-nosed about the definitions is that we find it profitable to do so, and we end up in endless arguments otherwise. You don't have to agree with our definitions, but, at least, you know what we mean when we use them. And, to communicate effectively on this board, you have to use them when you post.

gao seng: From your link: The technology market is based on something Moore calls discontinuous innovation. This isn't simply a question of tweaking existing products to make them better. A car is improved by adding electronic fuel injection, better suspension, airbags and so on. But a car is still a car. The innovations are continuous. A discontinuous innovation, by contrast, introduces a whole new paradigm. It means "not compatible with the existing systems". Hope this helps.... Justin
