His four words to forget in 2014: "open," "MOOC," "cloud" and "high definition." (Don't let him catch you with a press release touting these words.) "The good news," Catalano writes, "is that if you can’t say something nice in tech, you might as well use one of these phrases. For then you will be saying nothing at all."
