Title is: Guest Editorial - On the Precipice of a New Energy Source? Enjoy your read, S.A. http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/07/editorial-in-oil-industry-trade-magazine-focuses-on-lenr-threat/ http://www.e-catworld.com/2012/07/editorial-in-oil-industry-trade-magazine-focuses-on-lenr-threat/ I did! Thanks. Akira. As both you and Jed Rothwell point out there is the light weight HTML version, which was a lot easier to access. http://www.mydigitalpublication.com//display_article.php?id=1104768 http://www.mydigitalpublication.com/display_article.php?id=1104768 These days I have a dual monitor quad core workstation that I use at home. I was able to load the full-feature publication on one of my monitor screens. As I was Flipping through the pages it reminded me of the old Gopher days. Some on the Vort list may still remember Gopher. It was one of the ways we accessed files via FTP on the internet before Mosaic came along. Mosaic was considered the first recognized web browser when it hit the scene back in the 1990s. Back then I wuz working at University of Wisconsin, Division of Information Technology, developing and loading university course descriptions by generating primitive static HTML files through the use of CGI and PERL scripts. For me personally, as I was flipping through the pages of this digital publication on my monitor screen I began to realize how ridiculous this contrived use of technology was being used for. It was being used in such a half-assed way. There is absolutely no valid reason to try to continue mimicking the illusion of flipping through individual pages on a monitor screen - as if to give the reader some contrived sense of familiarity and comfort. This is like trying to pill” you dog or cat with medication that you think they will refuse if they were actually allowed to see and taste the pill for what it actually is - MEDICATION. In a sense, they are insulting the intelligence of their readers by assuming they simply can't deal with reading publications in a more direct authentic digital format. Eventually, as ebooks become more ubiquitous, these ridiculous vestigial throw-back visual aids will go away. The younger generation will not care since most of what they read will be in electronic format. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

It would be similiar to an artist's sketch book which consists of blank pages. Harry

Out of curiosity, I took a look at the flashier version of the article. I think they might have paid a lot for a gimmick intended to leave an impression on people. Ultimately, though, serious readers will prefer a simple presentation without too many bells and whistles; too much slickness, and especially the poorly executed variety, can easily interfere with what you're trying to communicate. I like their reference to the whaling industry. That is one possible way to understand what could happen to the petroleum industry if LENR can be profitably commercialized. Other models are the publishing industry and the recording industry. There are similarities between each as well as differences. In this regard I wonder whether the authors have understand their target audience; it is plausible that if confronted with a serious challenge, the types of plans the oil industry would develop would center more on the courtroom than on adapting to the new technological reality. In addition the industry might try to move up the chain into higher-quality niches and leave LENR to home-heating and mobile power generation markets, not appreciating that these would just be the entry points. Clayton Christensen, a well-known business professor, has formulated an interesting explanation about how businesses that are dominant in a market and staffed with competent people making rational, defensible decisions, can lose their dominant position in a brief period of time. Somehow the organizations choose to ignore the impending threat, or they are aware of it but are unable to come up with an adequate response. The description of LENR in the article did a poor job of separating fact from theory and conjecture. I think those of us involved in popularizing LENR are largely to blame for this. Eric

Nice speculation. More or less is like to speculate on the possible impacts to the toy industry if Santa Claus is real.

I agree. AFAIK Santa existence is still sponsored by toy industry. As much as the Santa Claus TM helps selling toys to kids, so much the Santa Boson TM is used to help raising funds among politicians. mic 2012/7/7 Akira Shirakawa shirakawa.ak...@gmail.com: On 2012-07-07 21:27, Susanna Gipp wrote: Nice speculation.

[...] I think the probable reason why the flashy version was made that way is because it's not much more than a digital dump of the printed issue. It's provided for convenience and additional public reach but it's not really meant to be read on a pc. An edition specifically intended for online consumption would have probably been laid out differently. Cheers, S.A.
