  If you bring it up again and he doesn’t seem as excited as you or doesn’t say much don’t waste your time. Things are usually as they seem.

• Why is limewire so slow?
  

  I’m a fan of Utorrent. There is also a way to speed up the torrent so it gets topped out faster and gets better bandwidth.
  
  Here’s the tutorial.

  I’ve done this I can definitely see a difference, the patch is clean and well tested. Just remember that it helps to put a cap on your uploads, otherwise your uploads will take over and you’ll see a huge drop in your download speed.

• Why is limewire so slow?
  

  Actually the gnutella networks are pretty decent, its the emule network that really sucks. So if you are getting crappy download speeds the problem may be that you don’t have your ports forwarded at the firewall level or you are downloading a file that just isn’t that popular (more people sharing means faster download speeds). The other problem may be that you are uploading at too high of rates. If your upload speeds exceed a certain thresh-hold it will effect your download speeds significantly. Try setting some upload speed restrictions at around 10Kb. Of course you could just switch to torrents, they’re a ton more reliable and you don’t have to deal with the crappy queues of p2p.

• why an organization should focus on “business
  

  These are places where it is much more realistic for a company to actually achieve a competitive advantage. Other competitive advantages are gained by having all the resources or having an extremely huge user base. Obtaining these for most companies are often unrealistic, the best they can hope for is to change up their business processes to make them more efficient. This will given them a cost advantage over competitors either giving them high margins or making them a price competitor. However competitors will most likely figure out how you are producing your output so cheep or efficiently and will eventually mimic it, making this a process that has to be constantly optimized (check out business process re-engineering for more info). I’m not sure what you mean by customer processing (value to the customer), it could mean alot of things like including all the right features on the product or it could mean the value customers gain from externalities your product provides. Either way the goal is to build loyalty because it is more expensive to steal customers from competitors than to retain the ones you have and loyal customers are also much more likely to refer people in their social networks to your product, lowering your customer acquisition rates. This create huge network externalities for your product which is a true competitive advantage. Think of the ipod.
