They are doing some cool shit. The Mindset search is great. Search with a metric applied as to teh intent of the results. I can imagine that if we had this with a collaborative filtering mechanism and maybe a self-organized map, search could be entirely predictive toward the intent of the results.

It looks like someone created a GSM/VOIP gateway. It is crazy expensive, but that is still pretty cool. I’ve been VOIP only for three years now and I’m not going back to a standard pots line.

So LaunchPad is the kind of show and tell for new companies.
It seems, looking at them, that Z is the new I (zevents and zimbra). That’s awesome I think. If they had been iZimbra, it would have been better. Totally Dada/Talking Heads mashup.
