For Blogging Out Loud...

There's some pretty amazing stuff out there that impresses me, partly because it takes a little vision somewhere down the line to come up with the simplest idea, but mainly the belief (and balls, mostly) to see a vision through.

Impressively inspiring speech over with, imagine the original pitch for their idea went the other way, or that the decision maker in each case had got out of the wrong side of the bed - luck clearly plays a part here.

So, without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, I give you "Great conversations that could have happened, but fortunately didn't"...

Google - Larry Page and Sergey Brin
"What, so people search for something and then get advertising for different stuff alongside their search results?!?! Have a word with yourself Sergey, it must be those pills you're on for your ADHD"

iPod - Steve Jobs and Jonathan Ive
"Just so I''m clear on this Jonny boy, it plays music WITHOUT CD's?!?! Get back into the studio you little muppet, it'll never work"

Yahoo - Jerry Yang
"Mr Gates, I hear what you're saying but I'm not gonna cut you a deal at $50bn - it's completely out of the question..."

More to come!
