The Court of Appeals ruling in October 2015 that the Google digital library project is "fair use" and the "copying transformative"
10/16/2015
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in October 2015 says the Google digital library project is "fair use." Google says its digital library project makes it easier to find hard to find books and acts as a card catalog for the digital age. Google's view is that it actually enhances the value of author's copyright by making the books more accessible to the public.

The WSJ's Shira Ovide's interview with Satya Nadella of Microsoft in September 2015
09/30/2015
Nadella talks about how he sees parental leave and leave for medical issues after his own experience as a 28-29 year old employee at Microsoft. His views about the importance of family and joining children at soccer or lacrosse games, about keeping an outsider's perspective for an insider in the company, eight hours of meetings with senior managers each month, and meeting employees by walking around. the intervew ends with a reference to his only rule read stuff that is outside work, and his preference for the literary such as the poetry of T.S. Eliot, something one doesn't expect to hear from predecessors Gates and Ballmer. One wonders where does Nadella get his interest in T.S. Eliot, someone not popular in corporate boardrooms, but good for reflection and distancing from the details of everyday work.

One ought to have a ‘learn-it-all’ culture, says Satya Nadella
The Hindu 11/07/17
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
