It's amazing that someone would admit that they f *ed up with such humility. I hope people are as quick to appreciate AirBnB as they were to criticise them.

It's funny how the points stated in this article will be so true for a Microsoft hiring manager. No disrespect intended. Disclaimer: I was an MS employee till last month.

I have the same impression about SEO and also about a lot of other things. While I was in college, I thought web development was easy and for people who couldn't program in C/C++. I was dumb. Now i know otherwise. It can be the same with SE

Have you tried sharing it on facebook? Given the typical network in a college, its the quickest way to market your game. Also try getting some of the more popular women to sign up or share your game. This quote i read in the book 'Love is a

I am a QA engineer and was hired straight out of college, before i had much of an idea about what QA was. What i will suggest is understand what are the different types of testing -functional, performance, reliability , security etc, play w

One argument to the above point can be because of the vast amount of information easily available to everyone, it has become easier for an expert or someone who is concentrating on one particular area to create "new" knowledge. So the knowl

Parents choose based on what they think is the safest option for their kids. To put the blame entirely on them will not be fair. One of the most interesting things I find about the American way of life is, people start taking up jobs from a

Thanks for pointing me to the site paperbackswap.com. This is a really cool idea, specially how it manages book transfer and the concept of book credits. I think the middleman option is not very scalable and you should look at other options
