At the Menorca TechTalk<\/a> this year we had some remarkable guests such as Hiroshi Mikitani<\/a>, from the remarkably successful Rakuten of Japan, who explained to us why he is on a shopping spree in USA and Europe (recently acquired Buy.com and PriceMinister), and\u00a0 Arthur Sulzberger<\/a> CEO of the New York Times – my favorite newspaper and news source in the world – who was particularly fun and insightful to be with. As a music fan (I named one of the companies I started Jazztel<\/a>), my favorite guest was Ulf Ekberg<\/a> from Ace of Base. In this video, you get to hear some excerpts of Ace of Base’s new album. It is only a few seconds for obvious reasons (copyright). But you can get a sense of how great the new songs are. Very Ace of Base, and yet, very new.<\/p>\n
