Talent. Diversify. Community. Future. Ideas. Good will. Open source. Innovation.

I'd be worried about Google if they based acquisitions on buzzword soup.

I'd be worried if my CEO doesn't understand the internet of things.

You responded to a question with a list of buzzwords. You responded to a gentle ribbing of that list of buzzwords with another buzzword.

The Arduino is a nice, accessible platform which stands tall on the shoulders of some true pioneers.

BDMicro (Brian Dean): http://www.bdmicro.com/mavric-iib/ (hmmm, interesting layout in 2004 vs the Arduino in 2005) The avrdude developers: http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/user-manual/avrdude_2.html (how "sketches" get to and fro) AVR Libc: http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/ Atmel MC's: http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR/ avrfreaks.net: The unofficial support forum for avr's that has had its ups and downs over the years. Tons of projects.

Not really sure what this guy means by winning.

It might have been better to write about how many people are "discovering" the Arduino platform versus phrasing it in terms of victory.
