The Inquirer has an [[http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/07/31/speaker-corner-alicia-navarro](http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/news/2008/07/31/speaker-corner-alicia-navarro)]interview of Alicia Navarro.

I’d never heard of her product, but this caught my eye, describing her interviews at Google:

> During that day someone asked her to come up with a product idea and talk about how she would market it.

And she went ahead and did it! I’m sorry, but if I had an even half-way decent idea, I’d want legal cover before discussing it so they couldn’t steal it. I’d put a positive spin on it for the interviewer, of course.
