Lesson #3: Experiment and Innovate
“I am in the prime of senility,” Franklin once said. Known for his often seemingly eccentric musings and scientific experiments, Franklin was never one to shelve his ideas or shun his research in the face of public ridicule. He was one of the most forward thinkers of his time and made a name for himself by not only embracing change, but also by directing the change itself.

For All the Chips: Intel’s Rise to the Top
After signing a research contract with Sherman Fairchild’s Fairchild Camera and Instrument Corporation, the eight former employees of Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory launched Fairchild Semiconductor. Each of the eight had invested $500 in the startup, while Fairchild put up over $1.3million. “That may not sound like much now,” Moore says, “but it was a month’s salary in 1957.”

Lesson #1: Managers Are a Company’s Main Motivators
When Noyce and Moore went to work for Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, both thought it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Within the industry, Shockley was considered a phenomenon; his physical intuition was legendary. “One of my colleagues claimed Shockley could see electrons,” says Moore. “He had a tremendous feeling for what was going on, say, in silicon.”

Lesson #2: Learning is a Process of Trial and Error
Neither Moore nor Noyce were natural-born businessmen. They were scientists, people who felt more comfortable inside the walls of a laboratory than within the four walls of an office boardroom. They had spent the majority of their youth conducting science experiments rather than doing sales, playing with molecules and electrons instead of learning about contracts and markets. However, once the two decided to branch off on their own and create Intel, they knew that their success would rest upon how well they could learn by trial and error.

Analysis and Implications of Hilltop Algorithm
In the previous article, we discussed how we believe that Google has deployed the Hilltop algo in its 'Florida' algo update. As usual, Google has been silent about the algo update so our analysis is based on research and experiments.
What Google Wants
There are so many articles out there on SEO and so many conflicting opinions. Some of those opinions are people just spouting off without any solid evidence to back it up and others are based on tests and experiments done by the author. It can be really confusing for someone trying to understand SEO. Who is right, who is wrong? Where should you focus your attention? Let’s answer that question by breaking things down…
Shocking Treatment Proposed For AIDS
"Shocking treatment proposed for AIDS Zapping the AIDS virus with low-voltage electric current can nearly eliminate its ability to infect human white blood cells cultured in the laboratory, reports a research team at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. William D. Lyman and his colleagues found that exposure to 50 to 100 microamperes of electricity - comparable to that produced by a cardiac pacemaker - reduced the infectivity of the AIDS virus (HIV) by 50 to 95 percent. Their experiments, described March 14 in Washington, D.C., at the First International Symposium on Combination Therapies, showed that the shocked viruses lost the ability to make an enzyme crucial to their reproduction, and could no longer cause the white cells to clump together - two key signs of virus infection."

Let Me Promote Your Product (or Location) to Millions
This post will be short and sweet. The book launch for The 4-Hour Body, the follow-up to The 4-Hour Workweek (#1 NY Times, 35 languages), will be enormous. There will be big media, incredible partnerships, never-before-seen experiments, and much, much more. Here are two things I’m looking to add to the mix:
Leader or Liar?
Do you think leaders are liars? A recent PBS show investigated the question - "Are leaders good liars?" According to psychologist Carrie Keating's experiments in human behavior - "the findings seem to demonstrate a correlation between persuasive abilities and dominant behavior."
The "Tilt" Thing and the Case for Journalist Entrepreneurs
People are all stirred up by my suggestion that the Valley is on "tilt". Lest anyone think otherwise, I'm not convinced it's entirely a bad thing. The Valley takes its biggest risks and does some of its wildest work when there is this "Everyone into the water" feeling about the place. More is more: More startups, more risk-taking, more experiments, more money -- more of more.
