This was, without a doubt, the best panel of the whole conference. Not only was everyone a rock star but the discussion got pretty heated too. This panel is a must watch so I'm not even going to summarize it for you. I will highlight two of my favorite moments though: The first is when Chamillionaire laid it all out on the table and shut everyone up. The second was when the founder and editor of one publication called the founder and editor of another publication an extortionist. What made it better was that the accused then agreed to the claim. Maybe the open media revolution isn't all that open after all?

This panel discusses what these new models look like, how they're different from the failed model of the late 90's, and what this might mean for the traditional VC model. We brought in Dan Ha, the director of Stanford's SSE Labs which gives students money to see if their ideas have any legs (without taking any equity!). Ricky Yean, founder of Conversely, shared his experience with the Y-Combinator model. Ooshma Garg, Founder and CEO of Anapata serves in mentorship roles for SSE Labs and has first hand experience with the rebirth of the incubator. Finally, Greg Gretsch, serial entrepreneur turned successful VC helped us answer the big question: how does this shift towards small seed rounds affect the venture capital business model. Our conclusions may shock you so check out the video below.

Bad bosses focus on their own needs, ignore the concerns of others, and act like the rules don't apply to them. Have you ever reported to someone or had people that report to you? Well then you've been on one side or both of the boss coin. Is your boss an asshole? If so, slip him Bob Sutton's The No Asshole Rule. If you just want to learn more about what makes a boss good or bad, then check out this talk by Stanford's very own Professor Bob Sutton. Also, head to Bob's frequently updated blog: Work Matters.

We kicked off day 2 of the STVP/AlwaysOn Summit at Stanford with a keynote from Doug Merritt, EVP at SAP. The message from Doug about cloud computing was clear: Change will be constant, the OnDemand model will continue to perform, this is just the beginning, and SAP will be there for the longhaul. This talk starts off with Tony Perkins' intro for the day and rolls right into Doug's talk.

The Anatomy of a Successful Startup in 2010. This awesome panel, moderated by Guy Kawasaki, was all about the AlwaysOn Global 250 for 2010. We kicked things off by talking about how 2008-09 treated these start-ups. Generally, these CEOs saw only the upside and opportunities of the past 18 months. The panel moved on to discuss some of the details of how they got to be the best start-ups in their respective industries.
