The Nukak Have Left the Jungle

Since time immemorial the Nukak-Makú have lived a Stone Age life, roaming across hundreds of miles of isolated and pristine Amazon jungle, killing monkeys with blowguns and scouring the forest floor for berries....

The men still go into the jungle, searching for monkeys, a delicacy the Nukak cannot seem to live without. Monkeys are grilled, dismembered and boiled, then eaten piece by piece. The women still spend their time carefully weaving intricate wristbands and hammocks, using threads from palm leaves.

VW's Crash Campaign

"We're trying to show that these are types of crashes that happen frequently,"she says. "We're showing the damage they can do to your car. The fact that you can walk away from it is very interesting."

I initially thought VW's latest commericals depicting sudden collisions where a very bad idea. Now I think I was reacting to the viscerally unpleasant experience of being surprised in this way. But the shock of it has stayed with me, and I was drawn to this post article ... VW clearly is accomplishing its goal.

Google vs. MicroZilla

Google is cagey about its strategy. When Netscape was flying high, some of its executives talked of making Microsoft irrelevant — a strategic blunder, according to Silicon Valley lore.

Google is much more than an indexing service, and it's unclear that even enthusiastic investors understand the extent to which Google's business model is designed to make Microsoft irrelevant. And with Apple closing in on dual use hardware, with software to make it easy to switch between Windows and Mac operating systems (or to run Windows inside Mac), there are two Trojan horses in front of Microsoft's gates. New Apple users will find that they can switch to Mac without giving up Windows entirely, and Google users will increasingly find that their file storage and applications are on the Web -- and can be run from any operating system.

This is the future, and not even Microsoft can stop it.

Netscape suffered from poor timing -- .e.g, Web usage and bandwidth were not what they are now. Think of bandwidth as a the river in which Microsoft's aging fortifications get swept away.
