Jonathan Zittrain on "Minds for Sale" Cloud computing is not just for computing anymore: you can now find as much mindshare as you can afford out in the cloud\, too. A new range of projects is making the application of human brainpower as purchasable and fungible as additional server rackspace. What are some of the issues arising as armies of thinkers are recruited by the thousands and millions? A fascinating (and non-scare-mongering) view is offered of a future in which nearly any mental act can be bought and sold. About Jonathan Zittrain Jonathan Zittrain is a Professor of Law at Harvard Law School\, a co-founder of the Berkman Center for Internet & Society and served as its first executive director from 1997-2000. He is a visiting Professor at Stanford Law School during the Fall 2009 semester. About the Berkman Center The Berkman Center was founded to explore cyberspace\, share in its study\, and help pioneer its development.
