I have watched a few of the online lectures offered by Stanford and I can't help but notice that the audio and video quality of the lectures is terrible. The video will not track the lecturer, and the audio will randomly cut in and out for

Why are all these recent tech companies that have gone through an IPO not able to turn a profit? Groupon, Pandora, LinkedIn, and now Yelp are all valued so highly yet they are not making money off of their services. If you have been in busi

They do a very good job presenting their product but the price point is way too high in my opinion for what the product is. (10-12.50 per unit based on the kickstarter pledge values)

I found that it was much easier to work with bootstrap if you just download the long form css version. Although it is a larger file, it is more straightforward since you can see all of the css for each element and then customize accordingly
