There’s a phrase that some random Nokia executive told me a few years back that’s been permanently etched into the back of my mind: “More wood behind fewer arrows.” Since first hearing it I’ve seen it crop up in numerous places. Most recently at Google, who is in the process of killing a bunch of…
Next month thousands of people will convene in Las Vegas, Nevada to attend the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show. If you’ve never been to CES, it’s worth checking out.
