    What was an idea in the envelop?

    by Eugene Safronov

    Hi, this was interesting presentation. Very connected with others presentations on how Google do things: data driven decisions, a lot of testing and iterations. But I was dissapointed that the sale with an idea in the envelop wasn't released to the public :)

    Jeff Hawkings, the primary inventor behind Palm

    by ivan kurmanov

    This is a great talk, thank everyone who made it.

    It looks like Patrick has mistaken the name of the guy who made wood & paper prototypes of Palm -- it was Jeff Hawkings, not John.
