Interested in bringing MIT Technology Review to your local market?
Editor in Chief and Publisher
I'm the editor in chief and the publisher of MIT Technology Review. That means I direct the editorial, platform development, and general business strategy of the company's digital and print publications, as well as our events.
Before joining MIT Technology Review in 2004, I was the editor in chief of a now-vanished biotechnology magazine I founded. Between 1996 and 2002, I was the editor of Red Herring magazine, which the Wall Street Journal called the "bible of the dot.com boom." I grew up on a farm in Northern California, where my mother raised game birds for the restaurants of San Francisco, but I was educated in England, at Harrow School and Oxford University. Consequently, my accent wanders alarmingly.
The New Yorker has a damning piece by Allen Orr on Intelligent Design. It's also extraordinarily late, of course: Wired devoted a cover to the subject in October of 2004. Orr's most interesting insight is that the mathematical critique...
I am new to what the kids call Web logging, or "blogging," so I suppose I can be forgiven for not anticipating the small tempest that blew up when I reported that Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg had banned...
It has been an interesting, if sometimes frustrating, experiment live-blogging from an event. Next time, I fear, I shall probably post fewer and shorter entries. Thanks to those readers who played along for your support and suggestions....
Kara and Walt are talking to Jerry Yang and Dave Filo, the founders of Yahoo. Kara points out, with a certain wonder, that Yahoo is ten years old! Walt asks what on earth the two were thinking of when they...
Walt Mossberg is talking to Intel's Paul Otellini. Otellini is a very dull speaker. But Walt suffers from a kind of monomania which isn't helping matters much. For the last two days, Walt has been on a kick about viruses...
Kara is chatting with Barry Diller, who has filled just about every senior position a person can fill in American media: he headed Paramount, Studios, created Fox Broadcasting, energized QVC, and is now the Chairman and CEO of InterActive Corp,...
Attentive readers (and there may be one or two perhaps: hardened recidivists with nothing better to do, what with new filtering software installed on prison computers), may have noticed that I am posting less today. That's because the Wi-Fi access...
I missed this morning’s session on blogging, where Anna Marie Cox (also known as “Wonkette”) spoke—apparently without obscenity, unusually for Wonkette. I was crouching in my room, nursing a hangover earned at Google’s wine-tasting last night, a very penitent crocodile...
Nick Negroponte insists his computer for the poor world is doable. 50 percent of the laptop is marketing, profit, and so on. Another significant portion is mantaining what Nick calls Microsoft's "obese" code. Instead, Nick says, "The operating system will...
Colin Angle, CEO of iRobot: "The baby boomer generation aren't going to want to live in assisted living. They're fiercely independent. The successors to these simple home robots will one day allow the baby boomers to stay at home." It's...
