Good Fast and Cheap
People often speak of the idea that there are generally three things you want when trying to make something happen: you want it to be good, fast and cheap. However, they also say that the truth is that you can only have two of these things exist at once and that you cannot have the third. For instance, if you are remodeling your kitchen, it can be good and fast, but it won’t be cheap. Or, it can be fast and cheap, but it won’t be good. Or, it can even be good and cheap, but it won’t be fast. You can imagine how you could apply this theory to nearly anything.

Tech Tech Boom
Being at the forefront of technological advancements can really propel a nation. Being technically savvy enough to tweak a trendy problem, find the answer and change what was a no to a yes can make you a rockstar!
Last summer, this is exactly what happened and it began with some puzzling over a trendy problem with the trendiest item in the world right now and it took shape in Prague. One of the great advancements of our age has come from the Czechs. In 1961, a Czech chemist named Otto Wichterle invented what is now known as the contact lens. Now, there was not so much buzz about what he did at that time and, to make matters worse for him, the patent rights for his contact lens was, unbeknownst to him, sold to the Americans. But, there is a new Czech tech who has certainly been causing the circuits to fry with excitement.
It is nearly impossible to argue that the invention of the Apple iPod has not revolutionized the way the world listens to, accesses, stores, shares and, I daresay, celebrates its music. When Apple announced the first iPhone and now the second faster version, both times, the techies and wish-they-were-techies alike flocked to the stores and waited in lines, sometimes for days. They went on sale in Japan, Australia, England and many other countries in July. The Czech Republic got its batch for sale to its hopeful masses a few weeks into August of 2008, selling in ranges from $800-$950 USD.
Of course the problem people were having was the ability to operate the phones using other carriers, besides the ones that are the official Apple chosen few. People were working on it because necessity is the mother of invention. Then people stopped working and began talking about a man in Prague who had found the answer. His name is Pavel Zaboj and he found a way to trick the iPhone into believing it was working with one of the chosen carriers, AT&T, and soon he was a legend to the techies and the wish-they-were-techies.
