The talk is titled "Real-Time Internet and the Future of the Information Work". The theme of the talk is about productivity and the [...]

It’s the last day of ITEXPO. The show is over today at 3:00, but we don’t leave until tomorrow morning. Howard suggested we could do something cultural this evening: "Maybe take in the Getty Museum, or Steven Spielberg’s new Museum of Tolerance. Or… maybe Fry’s."

ITEXPO: Carly Fiorina

October 25, 2005
