Cisco Systems France had started in January 2006 a weekly radio-podcast program: diaLog. The two journalists, Jérôme Colombain and François Sorel, are really, really good, both have a great sense of humour and they invite the most prominent decision makers of the French high-tech lanscape.

Judge by ourself! You should be able to find on the Archives page:

Pierre Ardichvili (IT Communications business development director), Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet (HEC Alumni, founder and CEO of PriceMinister.com), Olivier Sezner (VP technological strategy @ Cisco France), Jérôme Archambault (country manager @ Skype), Rafi Haladjian (founder of Ozone), Stéphane Cotte (Samsung France), Patrick Chanudet (ootay.fr), and many more!

The two interviews I found most interesting were the ones of Alexandre Mars (HEC Alumni too, founder and CEO of PhoneValley) – because I happen to know him a little bit (he had just stopped investing in start-ups when I was fundraising for a project); and the double-interview of Pierre Chappaz (founder of Wikio.fr, founder of Kelkoo, former Yahoo! France director) and Tariq Krim (founder of Netvibes) who are particularly visionary when it comes to their vision regarding what Internet 2.0 really is.

I apologize to all non-French speaking IT-addicted, the program´s in French. But I suggest you start taking French lessons because Cisco diaLog´s worth it.

Apple´s founder and CEO Steve Jobs gave a fantastic speech at Stanford, talking about his family background, the reason why he dropped out of college, why we should thank him for the many typos available on our PCs, his entrepreneurial quests at Apple (and how he primarily got fired!), Next and Pixar – which eventually became managerial adventures. In a very moving conclusion, Steve Jobs talks about death and urges Stanford students to live their own life instead of someone else´s.

An amazing speech available by clicking on this link.
