What would be more impressive; Facebook having had these changes in the works before anyone thought they were a good idea or that they pivoted and did a major revamp to their #1 feature (user data) in a month?

Sorry I wasn't clear. That's the way it is, and when I was a hiring manager was when the disparity was made clear to me.

This is extremely bad. From their resident registration numbers, their entire lives and can be exposed.

As a hiring manager, a top tier school will matter for a long while. It matters not only in salary (20%+) for a top tier school, but also in the opportunities people will trust you with.

Not unless you change the world. You will learn a lot and I'm sure it will be valuable, but don't be at all surprised when it is discounted in the views of others.

The answer is yes, until you are accomplished as either a founder or a maker. If you are going to work for yourself, you will be hampered by having no history and not having developed a well connected support network. You will not be given

I wonder if it is simply Eric Schmidt's ties to Google preventing a DOJ anti-trust suit. Owning the largest advertisment platform, owning the advertising adjacencies, and using that leverage against your competition is very much rubbing up

Why? Is this market research for a new reader, or is this tool next on the Google chopping block and your looking for demographics.

Thanks for the detailed response. I'm surprised by how much of the cost is being deferred by subsidies, but maybe that will pay back in terms of spurring innovation.

Do you have a breakdown of your own costs? Even in percentiles that would be interesting.

Is there a valid estimate between time to file and time to trading? Or is this always on a case-by-case basis?

Being indicative means having predictive power, not being representative. It is often the case that student trends are indicative of larger trends; for instance the number of college graduates looking for employment. As for laptops, lookin

Apple serves students very well. Take a look at current trends in laptop purchases by incoming students. http://itc.virginia.edu/students/inventory/compare/ If these numbers are indicative of the US as a whole, 45% of new laptop purchase

You are correct in that perspective, but Microsoft is supposed to be the smartest kid in the class. They've said so. And taking them on their word, analysts are supposed to compare it against the other brilliant companies in the sector. E

Chromebooks as they are now are not attractive. Apple's mobile platform, MacBook, IPad, IPhone, is significantly eating into MS share.

As mentioned, it is helpful for import from Outlook where nested folders are translated into longer folder names. This is a feature directly targeted at making GAFYD more attractive to the enterprise customer. As such it shows that Google
