- Neda l’immortelle chez Mario Roy: « Ainsi, les événements de juin 2009 en Iran sont ceux de l’internet 2.0. Du web “social”. Du portable planétairement branché, de Facebook (où existe déjà une page “Neda”), de YouTube et de Twitter.
Jadis, on craignait le Big Brother orwellien à la solde d’un pouvoir totalitaire. C’est le contraire qui se produit. Des millions de little brothers grignotent, image par image, les pouvoirs absolus.
L’immortalité désormais acquise de la jeune Neda est un monument à la modernité sculpté dans l’atelier médiéval des vieux ayatollahs. »

- Life and death in Iran chez le NYT : « Whatever happens now, all is changed in Iran. Opacity, a numbing force, has yielded to a transparency in which one side confronts another. The online youth of Iran will not be reconciled to a regime that touts global “justice” while trampling it at home.»

« People, not product. The next time you hear an old dude talking about “product”, let him know the 20th century ended a decade ago. Smart growth isn’t driven by pushing product, but by the skill, dedication, and creativity of people. What’s the difference? Everything. Globalization driven by McJobs deskilling the world, versus globalization driven by entrepreneurship, venture economies, and radical innovation. People not product means a renewed focus on labour mobility, human capital investment, labour market standards, and labour market efficiency. Smart growth isn’t powered by capital dully seeking the lowest-cost labour — but by giving labour the power to seek the capital with they can create, invent, and innovate the most.»
