I just think it's fascinating how technology could drastically impact our lives. I now can't imagine a world without Google. And I want to be part of that change!

Exactly. PayPal would have never succeeded without Peter Thiels' ability to close fundings left and right. However, I do think one of the founders should be technically savvy, and it doesn't hurt to have the business guy to know some hacki

I am looking for clean and simple business card layout like this.. Any recommendation on sites that do business card design?

Absolutely! I will send you an Email and we can exchange info. I am always looking for people who I can bounce ideas off with :)

Thanks. That's exactly what I really wanted to learn -- know what goes on under the surface and how everything interacts, so I could build upon it. I think I have already went through the w3schools tutorials a while ago. If you come across

I laughed all the way through, love the bits about the consultants and 25k mission statements!

It won't be a cover unless it's slightly larger than the hole wouldn't it? :)

I think they are round because circular shape is the only shape that cannot fall into itself. If manholes are square or any other shape... at certain angles the cover could always fall into the hole

Investment banking and strategy consulting are two of the most competitive fields to get into right out of college / biz school. Reasons being the pay is ludicrous. What the writer described is not uncommon for people who want to break in

Agreed, this is probably one of my favorite sci-fi novel of all time. Excellent story, well-developed characters. I think what makes this novel so popular is because all of us can related to the main character, Ender, on some level. Highl

I have never interned in a startup environment, but I can provide some insight into what it's like to work for a corporation. I participated in my school's coop program, which allow me to work at IBM for ~9 months in programming/design. Wo

Agreed it's a ridiculous deal when I first heard it. But as outsiders, we don't have info on how much debt BSC has. JPM could very well inherited billions dollar worth of debt from the buy-out.

My point is if you have to keep track of all your friends' info, it's a very time consuming and manual process, while on facebook, everything is updated by the owner so you don't have to do any work. Hence my original point of "if used righ

Wow... truly amazing. I have always been frustrated with all the wires behind my computer and TV, and thought it would be awesome if wire could be completely eliminated with wireless. I never knew wireless power is close to be an reality!

I disagree. In my opinion, if used right, social networking is the ultimate organization and communication tool. Facebook has gradually evolved to become an excellent organized address book. It keeps track of all my friends' contact info

First of all, congrats to Jared! Great accomplishment indeed. For me, college was definitely four exciting years and I don't regret it one bit. The access to learning opportunity was just tremendous, with every subject at my fingertip. I m

Thanks for that. I will definitely check it out. I read about Excite's early days in Founders at Work.

by Frocer 19y ago
Great article. This reminds me of the Excite team, after the 6 of them graduated from Stanford, they decided to start a company simply because they want to pursue entrepreneurship, without even having an idea of what they will be doing. I

From my experience, you want to really as early as possible once you have enough features to present your core idea. My partner and I spent so much time fixing every little thing, identify every little bug, because we were afraid of launch

I have heard there's a fair VC/Entrepreneurial presence in San Diego, for instance, Slacker.com is based there. But as someone pointed out, I would be more concern about the beautiful beaches and weather. Lots of distraction certainly :)

The pitch is hilarious!

I read that 1 out of 10 VC-funded start up succeeds, on average. I am assuming "succeed" means profitable exit. Activity wise, there certainly are enough data to pull a reasonable sample size to create a model. However, the tricky part is

If they just predict every start-up to fail, statistically, they would be 90%+ accurate :P Predicting the success of a start up is probably just as hard as predicting where the market is going to go tomorrow (if not harder). There are too

I am very glad Yahoo rejected Microsoft's bid. Personally, I think the bid is undervalued, and Yahoo has too much potential to monetized its massive traffic. Jerry Yang is taking Yahoo towards the right direction -- streamline operation an
