A professor of mine once told me that their phone bill boomeranged. When he investigated they were shocked to find that their teenage daughter had sent 3700 text in the month she got iPhone. When he asked her to stop, she started using grou

A friend of mine who is a tutor for middle schoolers once told me that her students would send her assignments via their parents email id. She asked her students why they are not using their own email id since its free. In response students

Why? Kinect and Xbox came to fruition under his leadership. And that division alone can become billion dollar business for MSFT. Agreed WP7 was late but MSFT takes pride in being late to any market. After all, they are last man standing in

Insanely cool! Any resident Googlers out here: Who works on such projects? Is it a 20% project? Or there is some dedicated team to do stuff like this? Edit: Downvotes? Really?

I almost spilled my coffee by laughing. Out of curiosity, is there any campaign on Kickstarter that is set up to help setting up another campaign? Also, given the popularity of Kickstarter; does anyone think political candidates of future w

Has MSFT given any justification on why they are banning Firefox from Windows 8? And why iOS doesn't allow FF too?

That doesn't mean you should lockdown all the browser apps just to ensure your control. Both iOS and WP8 allow all sorts of apps to be run. Then why not another browser? AAPL's insistence for banning flash was justified. Flash has always be

It wasn't a while ago someone from DEC made bone headed prediction - "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." I don't understand why media companies don't get it that future is Internet. iTunes and Netflix are shinin

Honest question - Why do you need API framework for Django? I've created APIs for couple of Django products and never felt a need to use any framework. I felt Django's MVC framework is robust for creating any APIs. May be using some API fra

D3 is awesome but I've always felt it is more suitable for complex visualizations. For simple stuff like line graph etc. Existing graphing libraries are pretty cool. Anyone using it for common visualizations like line chart or pie chart?

Feedback to pair Founders - - Signup screen is broken. When I'm entering my details (email and password), I don't see the textboxes. Keyboard is covering that. Screen should re-adjust if I'm entering details. - When I upload the photo, plea

It should be ideal for companies like oDesk. They get readymade user base for the product that is similar to what they are doing.

Another oversized phone. When I saw its predecessor I was shocked by the size. How can you properly fit it in pocket? I don't understand why phone manufacturers are engaged in "we are the biggest screen" race? Make your hardware better. Thi

Congrats to team SlideShare. Good product! Wondering whats the goal of LinkedIn for this acquisition? It is not a people acquisition. And SlideShare is already integrated with LinkedIn's platform. So I'm curious!

Its not that Google's page is completely cluttered now. I remember using web portals at that time to search the web and then Google. The difference was day and night. Portals were that bad.

That was a good read. I remember I used Yahoo for searching the web. Due to relevancy factor I moved to Altavista (but it didn't improve anything until the day I found out about Google and still use Google). I didn't know that Inktomi was p

Another issue I see is people are not afraid at all due to easy availability of capital. Although, entrepreneur can be considered as fearless (at least when it comes to failure). But he/she always lives in fear. Be it competitors, running o

Successful startups is not the best signal to judge overall quality of academic institution. Stanford became synonymous with dot com era due to successes like Google and Yahoo. However, Berkeley (along with MIT) was epicenter of open source

I believe in terms of entrepreneurial culture on campus, Stanford is slightly ahead of Cal. However, I don't think there is a difference in academic quality. Lot of Stanford CS professors are Berkeley alums and vice versa for Cal. Stanford
