I can definitely see that, having only been in California for 3 months being an intern (i.e. having money in the bank for the first time in a while), it's hard not to spend when everyone here has cool gadgets and such (though on the scale o

Interesting idea, I can see it portrayed as "you are providing us a service by targeting your ads, and therefore we want to make sure they are as targeted as possible." I don't think advertisers would like it, because it relies heavily on

I realize that this has little to do with startups, but I posted it for 2 reasons: 1) Where else could you find college students having to answer similar questions? 2) This would basically replace my "developing for the hell of it" time, wh

http://nerdlife.net/2007/07/11/in-defense-of-nerds/ Haha, apparently neither could I. I'm done though. I think you're entitled to one more blog-based rebuttal if you'd like, but I don't want to burn out the topic :).

How strong must a business plan/startup be before you would consider delaying your undergraduate education by a semester (possibly indefinitely) for the sake of pursuing the opportunity? To narrow this down, assume you're a sophomore in a
