Yeah, I was surprised at the length of time they recommend -- 10 hours/week for 7 weeks (for the developer course). 70 hours? I would think you could get productive in this in much less time.

I signed up my kids for Gmail recently. It seems to automatically create a Google+ account and profile, and I had to jump through all kinds of hoops to disable all that stuff. We only wanted email. I wonder if we're included in the 400 mill

Luckily, awesome and crap , are not the only choices we have available. I agree with the OP here, just try to convey what you're looking for, and leave out the adjectives.

The headline implies Twitter, but the McKinsey report appears to specify social tools like " internal networks, wikis, and real-time chat ". Better internal collaboration tools may save that kind of money, but I can't see Twitter being used

Yes. I have seen this a lot with friends and co-workers. They always google the site instead of typing in the URL or even creating a bookmark. Even for sites they go to 20 times a day. Interesting consequence, one person, who had just creat

" The stock market is rarely rational. This is exploited by value investors, like myself, who invest in companies that are undervalued for no reason. " Which tends to make the market more rational again. But I agree that the market is not a

The stock market is all about the future, not the past. A lot of people see Microsoft's future as being less profitable than its past. That's why people belittle it. Microsoft makes a ton of money, no one will deny that, but they make less

It was bad enough listening to this myth when it was 10x. Now it's up to 25x. Gimme a break. When you figure out how to measure programmer productivity, then you have the right to put a precise number on it. Not before. Edit: I mean 'you' i
