Refaved from Mohit:
I've never heard this before, but it makes perfect sense (and the post is an interesting read).
In my work (even at large companies), I've always tried to be an entrepreneur in this sense -- creating things that will survive after I'm gone, whether that's writing specs or writing code (like writing comments :-). And some of my proudest moments as a consultant were helping a company be able to accomplish something without me (rather than justifying my continued engagement, like most consultants).
Quoted: True entrepreneurs make the transition from working for someone else to working on their own much differently. Entrepreneurs invent businesses that work without them. Technicians create businesses that work because of them.

Tony's really good blog post about bootstrapping the financing of a web 2.0 startup. I like his definition of the 3 milestones your company has to reach.

Ramez was the MS rep on the call about the PowerSet acquisition.
MS acquired PowerSet to add natural language capability to the Live Search engine. The guess is that this was a $100M deal. Which shows there is still room for innovation in the search realm - it's good to see MS taking a stab at innovating in search.
