I have nothing against Cornell, it's a great school, but I'm not sure where this logic that the city needs a tech school comes from? There are a number of top notch universities in the NYC area. The city alone is home to NYU and Columbia -

"For starters, it assumes a childish, simplistic, and pedantic worldview: expensive things or those that are ascribed more value by a segment of the population are inherently "better" than other things. Obviously everyone wants and needs th

Unfortunately our hospital EMR software, which I access from my office, does not work on IE9. I had to downgrade to IE8 to get it working.

It's not clear whether by San Francisco this article is referring to Silicon Valley, but assuming that's the case - NYC has nowhere near the tech ecosystem that the Valley has in place. In the Valley you have the full gamut of software and

Since it's at mint.com/accounting I wonder if it an intentional dig at the traditional concept of accounting, or at least personal finance, as opposed to what mint offers? Just a thought.

It's a great idea. Only thing is that the person who agrees to develop it further has to realize they will be assuming the twilio fees for all your existing customers as well, which would be $5 for each new teacher, plus $2 a month per teac

I never used Hunch much, and I'm not sure if an 80 million exit with 20 million in VC funding is so great for the founders, but I suppose it gives eBay a footing in NYC - that's the part of the article I found most interesting.

Interesting idea. While it would be nice to have alternative log in options, I do give you credit for making the facebook log in just that - logging in, rather than asking for permission to post to my wall, etc. etc. etc. which turns me off

I don't think he was ignored by Apple, I think he does that more to rally the fans. He said he did not have to wait in line to get the phone.

They are not just rigid. They are exceedingly strict beyond comparison. having spent a little time in the Indian system, this I can assure you. It's also no surprise that the biggest hit movie of India in the past few years was about how r

The problem with this way of thinking is that it works if you are successful, but it doesn't allow much room for failure. And failing can be as important as succeeding. In the Valley if you fail, despite having investors and solid employee

With the ongoing rhetoric that America is on the decline and China and India are the superpowers of the future, I think the important takeaway paragraph is this: "China and India are likely to produce many rigorous analytical thinkers and k

Hastings should have stayed the course with his decision. Can't just impulsively react to every analysts opinion and run your company that way. Raise prices as needed, you will lose subscribers in the short run but in the longer run you wi

There's not much of a story here. If a corporation delivers great products - profits and increased shareholder value will follow. If not, or if they stop doing so, profits and shareholder value will drop. They can get gimmicky all they wan

There is no difference to me, there isn't much difference to Apple but there is to dropbox - their business is dependent on users paying for cloud storage. The problem with that, as I see it, is that in the longer run cloud storage becomes

Jobs never changed his interpretation of things. He did in fact feel cloud storage was a feature and not a product, and that's exactly what iCloud is. For Apple it's a feature that will hopefully tie people in to their iOS devices. And with

The launch "delay" probably had something to do with this as well. Anticipation was already high. Plus perhaps it allowed them to launch in more countries simultaneously. Product delays are not always because of manufacturing issues. Somet

Why scared? There is nothing to stop someone from hacking a device - but then do we want all devices to be hacked? If Siri is somehow integrated into my car in the future, do I want my kid hacking into it and messing around with it, potent
