Sleepless – Back To The Future Part I

Filed under: SVWB — SVWB @ 3:28 am

Sleepless. Not just a few nights. Honestly I don’t want to write or else I would have written many weeks ago. Everything I write here will affect billion of dollars as if I am writing the Future.

First of all, thank you very much for those who flash signs to show support including showing superman sign, Michael J. Fox TV interview appearance, Back To The Future DVD release, etc.

I am not here to polish the present and decorate the future like politicians and business executives. I am here to reveal the truth preparing us to bravely face the present and create our future.

I am not here to fix the stock market. I am not here to fix the economy. I am just an ordinary geek who inherit the leadership in web community. It takes tremendous of courage to speak out in this sensitive historical time.

Looking around. I don’t have the choice. I have to keep my words. Yes I am looking at the stock market everyday tracking the market movements. I have made a deal with hedge fund traders and investors around the world. So far it meets no.1 & no.2 conditions. Yahoo stock cross above $15 many times. We can take a short breathe.

DEAL:
Stop shorting US stocks based on this blog (Checked)
OR
Allow Yahoo stock to recover in the healthy price range of $15-$20 (Checked)

Our IPO toilet in Silicon Valley is broken. Agree with many experts. Stock market is not a true reflection of economy. We’ll have to look beyond the daily and weekly stock market trends. To prepare more startups in Silicon Valley to pre-qualify for IPO and stay healthy after post-IPO, I would like to make a deal with Wall Street Investment Banks that underwrite IPO. This is fair as Investment Banks no longer retain the same reputation and creditability. The cost of IPOs is at the alarming level as increasing health care cost. It is bad for companies, startups, consumers, investors, retirement, and government. Let’s fix the broken toilet.

DEAL:
Drop Investment Bank 7% for 90% of the IPOs to at least 50%

Everything across the board in every industry is in very bad shape. I would like to request our government to delay or reduce the scope of Antitrust until our economy recover. Put more efforts in regulating Investment Banks and Accounting Firms that control the IPO underwriting fee and process.

I would ask every startup in Silicon Valley to work on a solid business models that foster healthy revenue, requirement for M&A or IPO.

One thing I am certain. Netbook is not the Future. Star Trek “PADD” (Personal Access Display Device), a hand-held computer interface with touch screen device is the Future. Future PADD will contain an universal connector that plug into a wall, desk, case, public stand, car or even chair. PADD keyboard is part of hard cover, or carry case, or embedded in desk, or integrated into wall Digital Frame. You fold down the Wall Digital Frame to access the keyboard for PADD for standing use or detach it from wall for comfort use. Rentable PADD will replace text books reducing educational cost, save more trees to protect our environment. PADD will reduce administration cost & errors in hospital by digitalizing records from the entry point of patient visit.

Our future relies on sensitivity and accuracy of mobile devices. Accelerometer on the mobile is not sensitive enough to achieve critical functions. Our infrastructure is lacking to support accurate altitude.

Future Specifications:
A open standard on mobile profile must be created. This is not the same as Open ID, Facebook Connect, MySpace ID, Google Friend Connect. This mobile profile is designed to save lives dealing with aging baby boomers, shortage of health care professionals, increasing cost of healthcare, reduction of government budget on police, firefighters, state and city workers. This mobile profile captures major age group such as senior citizen with health condition classifications. The m profile is stored on mobile with protected password and only reveal permission-based public code on the phone. It stores minimum data in determining healthcare decision at critical times when medical records are not accessible. The m profile details can be revealed by ER or rescuing authority in saving life situations. User can change state from “normal” to various danger levels depending on health or disaster situation like flood, fire, earthquake, mud slides, etc, sending alerts to assigned personal and preferred local authority.

Next generation accelerometer has to be sensitive enough to detect a sudden drop beyond normal use. If user doesn’t response within 10-30 sec, mobile will send warning signal to personal contact, within a few min mobile will send signal to preferred healthcare professionals. If there are massive signals within same area in proximity at the same time, it will alert local authority such as nearby firefighters or hospitals.

Accuracy in altitude is fundamental in research & science, as well as business applications. We must go beyond 2D data visualization, distribution and mapping. Ability to hook html/XML tag, CSS class and JS div to accurate and reliable accelerometer or geological coordinates will enable 3D functional applications. Any rescue team can quickly mount mobile devices with data plan only sending timely data, periodic images or videos to monitor disaster areas. I hope to witness web advance going toward the greater human man kind, rather than surfing the web.

Deal:
I’ll reveal and explain more. So much more must be done. CA is in serious critical state with very tight timing. I’ll be watching Wall Street news on Investment Banks.

Personal Note:
I personally would like to ask everyone’s cooperation, not to make me nervous about who I should or should not invite or what I should or should not cover in coming events. If I feel it is necessary to arrange another meeting like Browser Wars or JavaScript Battle or HTML6, just gracefully and openly accept the ideas. I don’t need any extra unnecessary pressure to my existing nervousness. It takes a lot of guts and nerves to describe what it takes to build the FUTURE.

Time is limited. Clock is clicking for CA. These few days I am reading “rescue” signs from our CA governor.

Mr. President: It is wise to act quickly on healthcare reforms between now and August.

Brad Pitts: Your name has been coming up many times. Get ready. Clean up. Put yourself back to the Golden American look. You’ll play a very important role in rescuing CA state, part of bigger future. Get your Twitter account ready to receive timely clues. You can find me via SFCutters.

Angelina Jolie: I used to look up to you. I just didn’t see your name. I would just ask you not to interfere the rescue effort.

JJ Abrams: I’ll need your help related to Star Trek.

Back To The Future: I’d like to see a different time line, McFly’s next generation. A geek girl with long hair riding a scooter, twitter with iphone, and hack codes. Put that little hamster in the ball. Include Feng Shui Master Guide.

JavaScript Jedi: Can we pass the congressional Republican type of debates on JavaScript spec? Look beyond DOM level. Ease the pain and cost of AJAX.

Lunch20: Sorry guys about taking the space on the blog. When the world is getting better, we’ll get more free lunches!
