As a student at Berkeley, I'm honestly shocked to see that we're ranked higher than Harvard as having the best business school in America. And it's great to learn that at least someone found tremendous value from their business education!

It'd be smart of a Berkeley-based startup hosted an after-party... tell the world that Berkeley has its share of tech startups too. Or you can crash the frats :)

This guy is so multi-talented, it's incredible. I'm taking his algorithms class at Berkeley this semester, and it's cool to see that he's capable of doing stuff other than teach CS :P

The question isn't so much why Intuit would buy Mint, but why would Mint allow themselves to be acquired so soon? If Mint was doing so well, they'd continue on their path to completely outplace Quicken. Something about this just doesn't ad

Indinero.com brought on two interns for the summer, one who we found from HN. (he was awesome!) If you're a passionate coder, feel free to contact me. Email address is in my profile.

Yodlee has dozens more features than Mint does, yet Mint has so many more users. Why is this? Because personal finance is intimidating, and nobody wants to do it. By having virtually nothing to do in Mint, it lowers the intimidation facto

It's sad that women never managed to log in... but out of 30, there couldn't be too many women in the application pool to begin with.

The main issue with the homepage is that it doesn't immediately capture my interest to learn more. Your buttons on the bottom "invest in us" are large -- bigger than the actual body text! Instead, why not make two or three super important

it'd be nice if screenshots were on the front of the page -- otherwise, it looks like another weekend project that never got finished. increase the size of your TRY NOW button 5X, and you'll notice a higher conversion rate.

I hope that at least some people see this as a genuine post -- it was inspired from a true event that happened just a week and a half ago. I don't have facts to back up a lot of what I say, but basic experience in getting business feedback

LOL reminds me of senior year in high school. But seriously -- your source of funding doesn't identify you, the college you attend doesn't identify you, and they shouldn't.

I have an asian mom and a jewish dad, and they don't mind if I go the "alternative" route and start a company. They don't mind if I never work for a company. In fact, they encourage that I follow my entrepreneurial instincts. But only as

As I was reading the article, I thought how terrible it would be to be fooled into believing that global warming was a hoax... but on the other hand, I prefer to be fooled into a hoax than for global warming to actually be true. And then I

One of the biggest problems is teachers giving non-constructive criticism to students. Back in elementary school, I remember a teacher telling me how bad I was in history, but in only a harsh manner. What happened to teachers being able to

I've always been a fan of launching early. Until now. A few months ago, I launched my pet project to the public, with some nice publicity on websites like TechCrunch, but it was incredibly difficult to capitalize on the benefits of launchi

my god I loved SICP -- finally, a computer science book that taught actual concepts. If Brian Havey (one of my profs at Berkeley) gave this a two thumbs up, I'm sure it's worth keeping as a reference.

and they even have berkeley! wait until they add the computer science lectures to the site :) It's cool, because I could just watch lectures from previous semesters on webcasts.berkeley.edu, or even on youtube.

If I was primarily motivated by money, I would have tacked on a business model to internshipin for the mere sake of raking in immediate cash. Entrepreneurs who think like that often fail, because money distracts them from creating true valu
