I think I am going to setup a VM with this. I really want to try the real thing. If it runs well enough in the VM I might just do all my development in and use the host OSX for everyday tasks. I am looking into getting into Android develop

I definitely don't think they deserve the valuations they are receiving. I just think that they are much more worthy of being a public company than either Facebook or LinkedIn are. People are always going to want to save money, that deman

I think Groupon actually deserves high valuations. They actually have a clear and simple way to turn a profit. They also have a tremendous amount of business relationships that are hard to replace.

I think the difference, for me at least, is that I have to pay for Salesforce's products. I trust a company with my data much more if I am paying them than I do a company that is not charging but instead using my data for advertising purpo

I don't think any Social App will be able to replace email unless it is just as distributed and private as email is. Maybe if the Social App ran entirely on the users machine or they could run their own servers then it would have a chance

The number one reason I love Pandora is that it offers an ad free paid version with higher quality. Its dead simple and does exactly what you want it to without tacked on social networking.

It depends on your school and what you are learning. My advice is to take classes that you want to learn and don't worry so much about finding a job with your degree. College should broaden your mind and introduce you to new ways of think

I have been doing this at my various internships and side projects. I am pretty good at fitting things together from examples, tutorials, etc. I think I am lacking in not understanding how the magic works. I feel like a plumber most of t

You sound like me so much. I over think everything. I have actually considered becoming a Buddhist to try and shut my mind off for a little while through meditation. I tend to have a very hard time doing things unless I spend a ton of ti

I definitely have a hard time with this! I need to get over thinking everything I do has to be original. I think it definitely holds me back. I am also sick of the class grind at school. I feel like I am stuck doing pointless work that

I agree completely. New inputs beyond QWERTY need to be developed. The tricky part I think is getting people to use new methods. I think things like 8Pen are a good start, however.

Open source does not equal free. There is simply no reason that something you pay for can't also allow you to extend the code or make changes yourself. Personally, I wish I could just pay for more things and not be blasted with advertisin

I was actually discussing how outdated and old the 911 system is in America. It has been around in the same fashion for decades. I think there could be a lot of room for innovation to solve the problem by entrepreneurs, however I am not s

Most of the urban growth cited by the article is in developing countries. This is because they are beginning to industrialize and make things. America is not making as much any more and most people work white collar jobs. There is just no

Thanks a lot I will have to try this. I have started using todo lists and they have seemed to help. I do worry I might be slightly depressed. However, I think this problem is something different because I have not had any problems with m

Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind work much better in a distributed system in which individual homes and business are responsible for their own energy production. Besides energy, I think the shift toward healthier and organic

I must be a counter example to the people with the problems this article describes. Maybe it is natural for a person about to graduate college with no idea what I am doing or where I am going but I can not stop thinking about my big proble

Thanks a lot for the reply it is definitely pretty inspirational. My problem right now is that none of my math credits would transfer to CS so it would take about 3 years to complete a new BS in CS. I am just not sure if I could do that f
