So Many Ideas, So Few Companies, By ESTHER DYSON Not an article I would recognize as Dyson without her name on it. I agree with her premise that it's the day-to-day managers who are toughest to find in high tech, for everyone including the market leaders. nytimes.com "In Silicon Valley, companies grow rapidly for a brief period and then fall apart. That's not a tragedy, of course: everyone gets rich and goes on to the next one. But as these companies come and go, collecting money, they leave the real markets to Microsoft, Cisco, Dell, Intel -- the companies that know how to absorb people and products, that can build sustainable relationships with customers and distribution channels, that can still use employees after they turn 40. They are living organisms that leverage people to satisfy customers, not investors."
