I certainly do think what you have described it's a well accepted stereotype, and it may well be true in your anecdotal experience, but I don't think there's been any real evidence that Asian applicants, as a whole, are nothi

Asian-Americans (including Chinese-Americans) have to have better grades and test scores to have the same chance as your average white American to get into an elite university, so I can see why Asian-American parents would think it's n

Most people would consider a Ferrari to be more desirable than a Toyota, yet Toyota sells many magnitudes more cars than Ferraris because Ferraris are out of reach for most consumers. If money were no object, many more people would own Fer

Generally the elite law schools are the top 14 schools in the USNWR rankings. Texas falls just outside of the top 14. It's still a great great law school, and a great school to go to if you want a decent chance at working for for an el

I had a college friend stream live video using his webcam in his dorm room in 1997 or so. Apparently he didn't warn his roommate about it so every once in a while you'd catch his roommate walking around without a shirt on.

Well no not exactly. Yes, a final rejection was issued by the patent office on 2/24/15, and the applicant still has up to 6 months to respond to the final rejection or to file an appeal. With respect to the request for refund, the

While the article is well worth reading, I was bothered by the article implicitly defining Asians as not counting towards a diverse workforce. I admit my point is unrelated to the bigger points of the article.

I'm a big bad patent attorney (please be kind). I have a computing engineering degree and like to do a little iOS coding in my free time. I like keeping up on what's happening in the tech industry.
