The iPhone has been out for nearly two years now. Besides from a mild software and hardware update, it largely is the same product. In those two years, I don't think Apple's engineers have just been sitting around. This phone may in fact be

I think that Mathematics is a much larger field than most people realize. How can programmers not be mathematically inclined? Thinking logically about how to model and solve a system using abstract concepts. Computer science is a subset of

As the world shifts from desktop software to web-based software, tools like this are going to be huge. Atlas is going to enable nearly every single cocoa developer to start making webapps instantly. No learning Rails or self-teaching JavaSc

First of all, root access to the machine should be granted to anyone at a terminal. Physical access bypasses any sort of realistic security placed on the system. At MIT, the computing infrastructure is largely a collaboration between studen

I'm just now clearing my room of coffee mugs, pizza boxes, and bowls of soggy cereal. I'm unshaved, and have hardly stepped outside my dorm room for the past 48 hours. There's a celebratory beer in the fridge, and then I'll probably sleep f

I noticed this too. In one of the admissions tour groups passing by, I heard the guide comment that it was probably a Literature convention. So I suppose beards either mean lit gurus or lisp hackers.

Unless you're a proven company, it's nearly impossible to get people to sign onto a secret project you can't tell them about. Apple was able to do it with the iPhone, and DEKA had similar success with Segway/Ginger. But you're neither Jobs

If you love what you're doing, the "economic conditions" won't matter, and it turns out that ramen tastes a lot better when you're happy.

I wonder if you can shorten it down even further to just relentless. When all of the employees quit, when rent is due, and when the ramen runs out, it takes a certain kind of person to continue working. And I think it's more than just being
