I have been waiting for this device for months. It's not the second coming or anything, but for those of us that don't want to buy Apple, and think that android is ugly. WebOS devices are a nice balance. It's also been true that Samsung ha

One suggestion was to just try different jobs till you like one, or at least know what you don't like. One day she would like to be a writer and I figure that might be a bit like Mark Twains life, who had a number of jobs till he found his

My fear is that she will go to grad school just to leave the working world, and in 3 years will finish grad school and have the same problem. I knew what I wanted to do when I was a kid. So it made every decision since then easy. I feel l

Yes, as an entrepreneur who is comfortable with rejection, I have recommended trying this. I think for now she needs something with a lower rejection rate.

I remember them being in Sim City 2000. ;-) So, it's been a while. I am actually disappointed in the video. There were no 3d models, and the project talked very little about the engineering effort. Instead we are given very stoic music

I thought I was a capitalist growing up, but these days I think my political affiliation is more likely just 'hacker'. Anyways, as thought experiments, I have been toying with the idea of limiting company size to 150 people, based on dunbar
