Given that the idea of private enterprise is to grow a business and increase profits, is there not a place for also building for the common good.

Do all companies have some responsibility for not only building their business, but also building their community?

Perhaps in time, Chrome will take market share from IE in terms of user base. There will be meny, many people who will stay with IE as their browser, for many reasons, the least of which is familiarity.

In my own experience, while browsers and applications have become mulit-process and multi-threaded allowing multiple windows and/or threads, users have remained single-threaded when it comes to using a computer.

As far as the combined search and address bar is concerned, it is only one of the reasons I will be having a closer look at the Chrome browser

Never under-estimate the power of the stomach in voting where money is spent.
I wonder if the airlines would be happy for passengers to bring their won food with them? Perhaps instead of supplying passengers with a "free" meal, the airlines could provide a food service in the supply of microwaves, ovens, coolers and the like.

I can't help but wonder if this Big Idea would have come into being had the 2008 games been hosted by another country. There has been much media attention centered around the social and political environment within China that I am not sure was present at previous games.

I suppose you start by defining what you expect from a mentor, and what that relationship will provide to both participants. Define for yourself who you see the mentor interacting with you, could be face-2-face, or online. This gives you some guide as to where to look for a potential mentor.

I think the question here is around what each individual considers private versus public information. And further, what information an individual is happy for another party to hold, which will depend on who is the other party.

If the scenario is one where nobody knows, nor can they find out anything about you, then I agree that complete privacy does not exist.

If the scenario is one where the individual determines what information to give out to what party, then the level of privacy is as high as the individual wants it to be.

Online social networks are another form of the offline social networks like play groups, school mum groups and so on.

While sounding counter-intuitive launching a startup in a recession provides a springboard for when times pick up. Building a business when money is tight, and customers are perhaps more wary of holding on to their money is the environment in which getting marketing, CRM, financial and HR processes, systems and thinking into shape is more critical.
