   I'm happy to look at what you're doing, since I've spent a lot of time recreating this wheel. Unfortunately I don't see the email address in your profile.

   The value in these companies comes from the talent. Is it really feasible to give blind offers to large groups of college grads based purely on their potential? Large consulting firms seem to think so, and their market cap per employee is

    Are rents higher than mortgages on comparable properties in SF and Seattle? In NY the mortgages are even worse.

    Great stories. It says a lot about Apple that time, in addition to Steve. The personal side is good too. Yes, Steve could be intense at times. But he was also a real person. He had to deal with the ordinary and mundane aspects of life li

    Remember that Priceline had a history of loss leaders. Amazon was patient in making money too. A couple million here or there is pennies if you're funding the next big thing. This turns into a way for companies to subsidize early ad
