No, that's competition. I am in Rochester:
http://www.lle.rochester.edu/
This is yet another place where BB could be widely used iff
it was better targeted towards scientific and engineering market.
If OuS was a sane commercial company they would follow up every such
hint on the mailing list and ask questions "How could we better serve
your application? Could you give us names and phone numbers of other
collegaues in your field?" And so on. I have had reps from electronics
companies calling me many times. They smell business, so they follow up
hoping for more business. Never happened with OuS. I guess OuS are
*not* commercial. They are a bunch of academicians dressed in business
suits, located in a commercial building, but otherwise they are still
university professors and associates. I actually like this, but it is
perplexing as well. World is moving fast, but our friends swore to only
speak Wirth'ish they learned when they were young. They refuse to learn
physicist'ish, data-base'ish, and other such languages of the fields
which they could serve with their product. As a result, they serve
barely anybody. And then they complain about marketing that would
be costly.
This mailing list is both a free market research service and a gateway
to the world's most powerful and lucrative laboratories. Our friends see
it a nuisance and never try to use what they get for free. As a result
the company is not growing, and the tool is stagnating. I do not see this
as a technical failure of OuS. I see this as their intellectual failure.
They still do not understand the possible ramifications of their own
work. Otherwise they would follow up.
Allright, back to my business. We are firing the laser. Watch for
that beam coming...
Cheers,
Wojtek
