Video Chat. It's a completely different way of thinking, no doubt about that. I love the university atmosphere.

Right. But you're talking about 'as-is.' Someone could easily come along and change all of that with an amazing way to instruct people online. All of a sudden we have people that know a lot about medical topics or windows drivers instructi

I can't remember if it was Stanford or Berkeley, but one of them was going to open up the ability to earn a full degree online. I'm not sure when, but I heard that transition has a lot of students at the university in an uproar. One step a

I don't think they're concerned about money at this point. Akin to the iTunes app store (1% of Apple's gross profit), they're not going to make a ton off of it all. What they probably want is a really awesome modding community surrounding t

Because they were the first, and the first to do it really well. It's extremely difficult for companies to compete against that if they can't offer anything new. Marketing tells you that you need to be the first at something for brand recog

Don't forget that Blizzard plans to rake in some money off of content creation (for Blizzard and the developers).

I don't mind this. I like controlled systems because they tend to keep the garbage out of my sight (steam, itunes). If they allow the masses to create really obscene things, it only hurts the developers that spend countless hours creating q

You're assuming that all I'm (and those at the pentagon) concerned about is names. This leak is over a year old. They're not going to get much in the way of here-and-now. But now we have a leak that goes into detail about how we operate. It

Everyone starts at 0. Write something you feel pationate about. Spread the word and you're bound to get 1 person to read it. With Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites spreading the word is easier than ever. If you have core knowl

I wouldn't expect even the privileged to apologize. It's awesome that some people were able to shake up the world of computers sooner, otherwise, we wouldn't have what we have. It's people taking advantage of what they can get that ends up

IMO, yes, pushing yourself out of your comfort zone always leads to a positive outcome. Here me out. I say this because when you are pushed passed that zone it is largely because of unknown(s). The more that unknown(s) begins to be uncovere

The key here is you were able to snag influence from your Dad. Luckily he was bright enough to see the potential and was resourceful which spawned your interest.

Yeah, that definitely helps. I wasn't rocking a computer at home until 15 and I'm incredibly thankful I was able to get that when I did. My public schools in the middle of KS wasn't doing anything with computers when I was 8 and I didn't kn

Spot on. I just came out of college at the end of 2008. The place I work for seemed like it was going to absolutely rock but I was dead wrong. It's not a small company which I've found that I really should have started with. I'll spare the

You're jumping into a pretty darn good area for development. Given that you probably have some really good experience behind you it's hard to say it'll take you long before you snag something up here. Hell, I moved out to Cali, from the Mid
