Fortune names their 50 smartest people in tech
Fortune has gone all tech on us this week, compiling a list of who they think are the fifty smartest people in tech. We found it interesting because most lists focus on the richest CEOs, or straight up performance on the job rather than things like intelligence, and the vision and impact they have on the tech world. The way they did it was to break the list down into ten categories (smartest CEO, smartest founder, etc.) and then list five names in each, listing a top choice for each category in the process. Here’s a peek at what they came up with: Smartest CEO: Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple Smartest Founder: Mark Zuckerberg, CEO, Facebook Smartest Designer: Jonathan Ive, Senior VP of Industrial Design, Apple Smartest Academic: Danah Boyd, Social Media Researcher, Microsoft Research Hi the read link below to head to Fortune for the full list.

I really hate to contribute to the mounting skepticism regarding whether Windows Phone 7 has a chance, because at a certain point it can become self-fulfilling. On the other hand, you as consumers need to make choices, so it’s important to be open about the issues. And those issues are: Will developers be motivated to create apps? Will manufacturers make the phones?
