As a designer, I can copy sketches or make high resolution versions of any logo and claim them as my own pretty easily.
That would not work as proof that I'm the creator.
I believe metadata on the files can help. -I'm no lawyer though- or emailing a copy of the logo to yourself like you said.
Agreed. I felt like doing some math. :) Anyway, one hour a day is what many of us have to pursue other personal goals different from work, family, etc.
I read it also, and I found it quite interesting.
Particularly the historic tidbits, which the author uses to put the rules into context.
In Venezuela for example, many of our politicians actions can be analyzed and compared with some of the book's stories.
I wouldn't be to eager to dismiss it as a Machiavellian Field Guide -although Machiavelli appears quite a lot throughout the book-. Many of the examples, in a less drastic way, happen all around us, all day long. So being prepared, can't be bad, right?
I wouldn't use the book word-for-word for my daily interactions.
That being said, this is a book I wouldn't swap out of my personal library at all.
PS: LOL @ the Rules of Acquisition! Thanks for the link, LogicHoleFlaw.
Intriguing idea. A mechanism could be put in place to allow people to measure and keep an eye out on world markets.
This does happen though. Internet has allowed for this. Websites and blogs were for years warning about this upcoming crisis. Both the people, and the governments chose to disregards those alarms, right until the Housing market busted.
Unfortunately, people probably would not know what to do more than what the governments are showing right now. I guess that's why Economy is called a 'social science'.
