????誰才是最優秀的人？要回答這個問題絕非易事。因為很多人都擁有高智商，富有創新思維，精通管理之道，擁有神奇的力量，永遠能夠按時完成項目。《財富》（Fortune）雜志2011年度科技界最優秀人物（the smartest people in tech）評選遴選了在科技界最熱門領域工作、具備上述所有特質的優秀人物。當然，他們的優秀品質遠遠不止這些。他們不但理所當然的是創新家，而且還深知如何成功地把優秀的點子付諸商業實踐。 |
????There's no easy way to answer that question: Plenty of people have high IQs, creative ideas, management savvy, and an uncanny ability to always be working on timely projects. For our annual look at the smartest people in tech, Fortune scoped out individuals who have all those qualities -- and more -- working in tech's hottest areas. They are innovators, to be sure, but they also know how to turn a great idea into a great business. |

約翰?海林：從黑客少年到移動安全教父 ????約翰?海林自稱，他在十幾歲時就是計算機黑客。此外，他把藍牙設備的通訊距離延長到了1.2英里，創下了一項世界紀錄。所有這些，都使他成為最理想的人選，幫助個人和企業用戶保護手機免受病毒、間諜程序和其他惡意程序的攻擊。 ????海林的移動安全公司Lookout為用戶提供手機或平板電腦提供應用程序下載，并告知用戶哪些應用程序正在竊取手機上的個人信息（通訊錄、手機短信等）。Lookout公司的技術以云為依托，能夠實時監控各種威脅，告知用戶哪些應用程序或網站可以安全地使用。現在，該公司約有1,000萬個用戶，遙遙領先于賽門鐵克公司（Symantec）和邁克菲公司（McAfee）等傳統數據安全公司，它們提供的手機安全應用程序下載次數已經高達數十萬次。 ????Lookout公司先發制人的另一個原因在于，現年28歲的海林（自2003年起，就一直關注無線網絡安全，遠遠早于智能手機興起的時間）。之后，他創辦了Lookout公司，直接瞄準移動設備領域，與眾多競爭對手截然不同，因為后者大多脫胎于個人計算機領域。 |
Security: John Hering ????John Hering was a self-described preteen computer hacker, and he holds the world record for extending the range of a Bluetooth-enabled device from a distance (he was 1.2 miles away). All of which makes him the perfect guy to help consumers and businesses secure their mobile phones from viruses, spyware, and other malfeasance. ????Hering's company, Lookout, offers a downloadable app for your cellphone or tablet that, in turn, tells you which of your apps are tapping private data on your phone (contacts, text messages, etc.). Lookout's technology resides in the cloud, and it tracks threats in real time to determine if an app or website is safe for you to access. Today the company has about 10 million users, putting it ahead of traditional data-security companies like Symantec and McAfee, whose mobile security apps have been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. ????Another reason for Lookout's headstart? Hering, 28, built Lookout specifically for the mobile world (he's been looking at wireless security since 2003, long before the smartphone explosion), while many of his rivals come from the PC world, a completely different animal. |
