Failure in innovation is an investment says Chris Galvin

Chris Galvin was recently interviewed by the Chicago Tribune. To read more on that click here.

His thoughts on innovation are certainly the highlights of the interview. Often people mistake that innovation will automatically translate to higher revenue.  But clearly a look at some top R&D companies like Motorola, Freescale, Texas Instruments etc show that their history is marred by many failures inspite of developing innovative products. However all this investment is not a waste but a very valuable experience. So think twice before writing off Motorola ;).

Google Calendar Notifications via SMS

Just discovered that Google Calendar supports notification of events via SMS. This is something I always wanted from Google, Yahoo etc. It works instantly with Hutch-Karnataka (Bangalore) Carrier. I wonder what is the revenue model for it. How does Google manage to dole out such freebies?........Next will try Remote Calendar to sync Outlook 2003/Outlook 2007 with Google Calendar.
