I'm reading "The Object Orientated Thought Process." It uses Java as the example language, but it's not meant to teach Java. Instead, the book illustrates what OO programing entails. As a result, readers get a high level but practical found

One of the things I've noticed about colleges is how similar they are run to country clubs. It was not too long ago (when endowments were higher) that colleges and universities would spend millions building luxurious dorms, athletic facilit

It's a shame these businesses aren't getting off the ground, just when the economy needs them most.

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought that number was too low to be credible.

I don't blame the guy for being a hustler. Jason knows how to work the game, so sue him - or is that already been done?

I think experts are people who know they don't know much. Humility.

Don't forget to rinse, These "formulas" don't amount to much, but clever hindsight.I like the burst of inspiration from reading something like this, but it's a generalization.

Groupon is becoming a massive company, and yet Andrew keeps a low profile. And, the company itself outside of tech circles, remains modestly known. Yet, it seems that Groupon is following the Facebook trajectory as this young company makes

My favorite email app is Unsubscribe, a button that removes you from email lists. It's quick and easy. The email space is putting out some cool innovations that I think is changing the relationship users have with email. But, I still can't

Great quality academic writing doesn't always mean a great grade. If you want a great grade (A- and above), know what the professor expects and mold your paper accordingly. Now, if you want to produce quality writing that pushes your intell

While it might be a new opportunity, I think there is too much lobbying in Washington to protect the interest of the status quo and not the students'. Education is a big money machine, and since there's enough groups and individuals who wan

These countries demonstrate "a willingness to depart from the conventional wisdom of the day and experiment with their own remedies." Sounds like a startup mentality in a diplomatic setting. It's interesting to note as well the author's obs

One tip is to verbally allocate at the start how much time should be spent on specific topics. Everybody gets the point when you say, "Okay, we'll spend five minutes on x, ten minutes on y, and the rest of the meeting outlining z." Another

I'm glad I read this. Google's been on these threads a lot, because of employees leaving it, demonstrating stunted innovation, etc. etc. But, ultimately, Google still does a world of good through the choices and products it makes.

There's too much pressure these days to know what you want to do with your life. How can a 15 year old know anything about his future, when he's just trying to get through the next midterm? I'm not excusing mediocrity and laziness. For as t

I recently talked with a co-founder of a company that sold to enterprises. He and his co-founder are in our peer group, and I asked him that very question. How does a young entrepreneur sell to enterprises? And, he said two things: 1.) Lowe

Generic advice. I wish he went into more detail on how to build a good team. Chris, if you read this, please elaborate.

Exactly. Developers have their pick of non-technical co-founders. It's a lot harder to approach someone with just "an idea." What are you offering in return? How do you contribute to a startup in those initial months? Sure, I've read plenty

This is good news. And, to think, your title was pepping me for another failed startup write-up.

Right - but I think what Thiel should do when explaining his fellowship is qualify it. "Drop out of college ...and, oh yeah, make sure your some superstar, prodigy, and/or really lucky because in the past those were the qualities that kick

I applaud Thiel for offering this alternative to ambitious students. What I don't applaud is this myth of the genius college dropout who changes the world. That just doesn't happen enough to make a rule out of it. I think it gives students
