Funny, I've heard of that before, but the correlation didn't strike me until I reread it. I remember it from when it was mentioned in the book "The Tipping Point".

I strongly believe the "sweet zone" for headcount is somewhere around 200-500 employees. You can still make a difference, but at the same time you're not struggling with the day to day nuances of a 5-50 person startup. To sum it up: You wil

It's even worse when the person who had the luck/timing in a previous success sets out to recreate that success and doesn't adjust to the changes that have occurred since. At least one such startup I've worked at the CEO had what we referre

A bubble is indistinguishable from a pyramid scheme legally run amok for the appearance of economic growth. Which is why I don't care for the naysayers opinions because they are far less useful than knowing a few average Joes who have the c

I still have that in my downloads folder. Hopefully we see a shift that brings the focus back to game play and away from vertex crunching/pixel pushing. If i wanted realism I'd go outside. I'm sure that's heresy in the halls of nVidia.

USB 2.0 is also known as "Hi Speed USB," while USB 3.0 will have the confusingly similar moniker "SuperSpeed USB." Can't wait for the jump to "Ludicrous Speed USB". I'll be sorely disappointed if the whole screen doesn't go plaid every t

Depends, like I said. I've used it both in job hunting and filling positions that are open. In the case where I was job hunting I did searches on the people who interviewed me either before (if I happened to know who I was meeting with) or

Both in job hunting and filling positions. It goes both ways. Rather than trying to capture everything social it has focused on just capturing the career network and doing it well. If I'm on LinkedIn it's for a reason: Jobs. If I'm on Faceb

Agreed, but you're less likely to find falsified information on a LinkedIn page. The people on LinkedIn in are more likely to be real. That has considerably more tangible value IMO.

I signed up for both in 2005. I haven't used FB since. I still use LinkedIn. FB is a liability to your career, LinkedIn is not. LinkedIn captures the social network that matters to business. FB captures the social network that matters to py

The idea that there is ever a bad time to do a startup is ridiculous. There are horrible times to attempt an exit. During the crash would be one of them.

This was certainly useful as I'm scheduled to interview with them in a couple weeks. I know some people who have been interviewed there on both the accepted/rejected sides of the coin. You can be technically savy and still not be a good fit

Agreed. The cost of implementing such an open system is negligible compared to the cost of securing it. You can harden a system as much as you want, but the business case for doing so is nil until it becomes a problem. At 0.000000003 of rid

I had the same question at the end. The only trend I could see is my own anecdotal evidence of journalists' tendency to draw conclusions where there is insufficient data to back up their central argument.
