I don't think in the foreseeable future. tokenadult brings up some very good points regarding the rising number of applications. Even if domestic student class sizes were to remain flat (which they won't, as class sizes are getting larger b

Reminds me of Songza, though they are browser based. They prominently display the video now, probably because YouTube was not too pleased. I think it's pretty awesome that a 15 year old made this and is getting coverage for it, but the web

I actually was thinking of the same thing earlier today. It's not just tech; I'm also involved in a fashion start up (if you can call it that) and, while there are general fashion blogs just like there are general technology blogs, there ar

I was also a recipient of his scholarship. I learned more from Andy in the short time I knew him than many years of schooling. He truly enjoyed his life and lived it to it's fullest, which is a cliche to say, but think and ask yourself if y

Sad day when one of the greatest banks falls so hard. It does reiterate to us, though, that shortsighted chasing after quick profits instead of long term sustainable growth is never a good idea. It's insane how one group within the company
