Marty Note
If you missed Mary Meeker's amazing 110 slides at the D10 All Things Digital conference in the summer take 15 minutes without distraction to watch her presentation now. Without distraction because she moves fast and speaks a different VC language.

I'm glad I missed Meeker presentation in a way because now it is possible to check off her predictions such as the Google mobile problems leading to their recent earnings miss. If you are interested in how the future of all things digital may turn out, take 15 minutes in a quiet room to watch this amazing presentation.
