Evernote is not be the perfect solution in it's space. Many users complain that it crashes often and/or won't even open up for them. Their Optimal Character Recognition (the founders expertise in) is amazing but slows down their program. Co

There seems to be a disagreement between the parties on if actual permission was given. TC: "we’ve spent much of the last 36 hours talking directly to Twitter about the right way to go about doing that." Twitter blog: "Nevertheless, the pub

There is a difference between planning to fail and failure-tolerant. People and companies still need to have long term vision of what to do "in case" your product is actually good, your startup actually gets funded, and of success in genera

I was really offended when I found out about things like flash passes or fast passes ( http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/tickets/flashpass.aspx ) that let you either queue up for an additional price or just cut to the front of the line

I agree that the quote is only half the picture. But what I remember is, "Education is the silver bullet." Not more money for education will cure all. The level of conversation on education is not nearly enough just like the amount of money

Education is the silver bullet. Education is everything. We don't need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. . . . Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools sho

This is not my mind's definition of true value. True value would be if students wanted to pay for it themselves, employees themselves, people themselves. Price something correctly (not cost prohibitive) and if you really have a true value b
