Not sure whether you are being serious or not, but beyond a certain IQ (I think around 120) there is no correlation between IQ and income (or success in general). This has been studied over and over.

> Many jobs have wearing a suit as a prerequisite. Would employers simply not hire anyone and close their doors if everyone refused to wear a suit? That's my point. In a market that has many buyers and few sellers, the buyers do not get

Republicans and tea-partiers tend to favor less government. When people hear somebody say something that coincides with that point of view they often assume the person is a republican. >Based on your reasoning, attending college has soc

Certainly, and that is a very important side of the argument. My point was that people with advanced degrees who have ascended to great success are probably the people least qualified to tell others that the expensive degrees they obtained

It may be true that it could be done for cheaper if the hiring teams bought into a new system. But the course is really set by the hiring team. There was a time when you only had to study legal books on your own and pass a bar exam to becom

This has to be one of the dumbest things I've read in a while. So because the phone has some differences to an Apple trademark (which may or may not hold up in court) it is safe to assume that Samsung's designers intentionally designed arou

I don't think it's a coincidence that the major proponents of doing away with traditional higher education and questioning the value of a college degree are people with at least one degree (in many instances advanced degrees as well) from v

It's tough to take a position against the majority and not sound upset. In reality it doesn't upset me at all. Samsung is a big company and will be just fine. I think Apple is going to lose share over the next few years and that idea really

I think there are two competing schools of thought and neither is completely right or wrong. One believes that an entrepreneur needs to serve a cause and do something to better the world and success will come proportionally to how much they

Heh, I don't even use an Android phone. I will be buying this bad boy in June though. So you say a dual CPU and and improved GPU are worthy of the coverage and nothing in the new Samsung hasn't been done elsewhere. Well to me it is just the

It's not really a different strategy though. There is only one Galaxy every year, and I don't see anything that an iPhone can do that this phone can't. Some people love the iPhone and that is fine- to each his own. I just refuse to believe

I think this is one of those things people will never agree on. I guess it boils down to which you value more- the time the phone is in your pocket or the time it is out of your pocket. I personally prefer a larger screen because it just ma

When you compare any non-iPhone launch with an Apple launch there is a very detectable difference. TechCrunch live-blogs the whole damned thing. Pundits congratulate Apple for being so freaking badass. Then an MG Siegler post emerges that v

by dkrich 14y ago
All I can say about this launch is that I can't believe how underwhelming the coverage was. TechCrunch wrote two short posts about the launch event and didn't laud or criticize the S3. In fact the only opinionated piece I saw at all was one

Well I don't want to play professor here, but I don't think you understand the meaning of irony. The fact that you find fault with the implication that women aren't just as likely as men to pursue startups but then say that your girlfriend

Sorry, this is just a shameless ripoff of 37Signals and Rework. This whole "you only have to work a few hours a day" philosophy will only take you so far. That's just simple economics. If something is that easy to build it means there are v

Will there be a Business Week cover story about Kevin Rose with the title "How this kid lost $60 million in three years"? http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_33/b3997002.... Nah, that title probably won't sell too many magazin

I think Groupon kinda does this for new users (ie, you enter your email, hit next, it scrolls to the left, you pick your city, etc.) One thing I've found is that if the purpose/value proposition of your product isn't already fairly obvious

That is hilarious. Seriously this is the kind of thing I would have tried when I was 8 before my dad caught me and and asked "What are you, fucking stupid or something?"

Right, I get that creating incentives like bonuses won't get hard workers to work harder, but my point is that a worker's "total motivation" is something that is within the employer's control, if you count work environment, schedules, type

If that's true, then it is even better for Microsoft because Amazon would bring no competitive advantages to the fight that they could not replicate. Not sure why anybody would view that as a plus.

They have Azure to compete with AWS, and now they want to make a run at the Kindle. Investing in B&N right now actually seems pretty smart. B&N is in need of help, and for MSFT to start an eBook business from scratch would be very e
