Inside: This Week in Innovation This week, Bloomberg BusinessWeek's Latin America correspondent Geri Smith got a sneak peek at the new urban development being built in Mexico City by telecom billionaire Carlos Slim. The 183,000 square-foot Soumaya Museum is a stretched and twisted aluminum cube that will soar 150 feet into the sky. Also this week, Ziba's Sohrab Vossoughi has some suggestions for health-care reformers: apply a mindset of scarcity (not difficult in these times), and bring about a revolution. -- Helen Walters E-MAIL A FRIEND  |  GET RSS  |  NEWSLETTERS   FEATURED PODCAST King of the World, Again Assistant Managing Editor Jim Ellis talks to Media Editor Tom Lowry about the magazine's cover story chronicling how Avatar director James Cameron became the most powerful commercial force in the movie business—twice.   Advertisement   Reader Poll: Special Issue Trouble at the office?

It's the "stable" part that really interests me, as a neat reminder of Google's larger philosophy of iterative innovation. -- Helen Walters POST YOUR OWN COMMENTS Visit Our Other Blogs Auto Beat Bangalore Tigers Blogspotting Brand New Day Byte of the Apple Economics Unbound European Insight Fine On Media Games, Inc.
