I found another cache of reading notes in a backup folder, and posted them to my site:
This book discusses of "practical ethics" in the information technology industry. As with any treatment of ethics, I'm not in complete agreement with the author's theories of what is moral or ethical, but it's an interesting perspective to consider nonetheless.
The author is attempting to launch a preemptive strike by providing advice to marketers who are looking to leverage the mobile channel as an advertising medium, hopefully without polluting the well (as they have done with e-mail).
Ten principles that are geared toward eliminating the unnecessary complexity and clutter in product design, which are mostly general enough to apply to any instance of practical design (such as Web design). It's a bit overly simplistic, but an interesting topic for rumination.
The authors attempt to spin "politics" as a positive factor in corporate structures and sell the concept to individuals with an IT background. While that seems a bit farfetched, they make a good point: people with an IT background expect things to be logical and emotionless, and have a great deal of difficulty dealing with human beings who are neither.
