The best took their companies to new heights and made investors proud. The worst? Well, check out the BusinessWeek rogues’ gallery. I love the photo of Michael O’Leary the Ryanair CEO. It’s like a bad Dell ad…
This tiny Italian city in the Alps gets no sun all winter due to the surrounding mountains. So they decided to solve the problem! Human ingenuity at its best!
A sun-deprived village in the Italian Alps has come up with a novel solution to fix the problem – by installing a giant mirror. The mirror – an eight-by-five metre (26x16ft) sheet of steel – was placed on a nearby peak to reflect sunlight onto Viganella’s main square below. The computer-operated mirror will now be constantly following the sun’s path. Viganella sits at the bottom of a steep valley, and surrounding mountains cut off direct sunlight during the winter.
