Nadella has worked on the cloud computing at Microsoft. Microsoft is betting big time on the cloud. Although MS never publicly admits, the OS business for the end user is slowly fading away with the tablets, smart phones taking over and Bro

Having stayed at he Marriott, for business, around the country I can tell you that their internet is crap. I end up using my own hotspot at many of their locations. If they want to prevent me from doing so, they can take their mid-tier, ove

Downloaded right away! Great for submitting expense report emails and I don't have to push all that data to the IFTTT now.

About 1.5 years ago, we were going through possible itches we could scratch with a bunch of friends and how to turn them into a fun startup. The very first thing that came to mind was a travel planning app. After going through different rou

3. Self cleaning coffee-machine is on my list. I don't quite enjoy drinking coffee that comes out of a capsule.

I hoover the moldings but use a dry Swiffer for the walls. Much faster and less scratching. Highly recommended.

Based on this conversation, what are some of the Big Data/Data Science programs with hands on experience that you guys think are worth the price tag?

I was contemplating this master's degree as well. In the past couple of months we had a bunch of emails go back and forth. However, the $60K tag on an online program makes no sense. I would rather pay that kind of money for a brand nam

Build with what you know while understanding the operating costs. I am currently working on a start-up where we started with .NET running on Azure and SQL server with Android and iOS clients. After going through some realistic usage pattern

Having recruited 3 dozen interns/jr.programmers from schools in the tri-state area and overseas in the past 5-6 years, you would be amazed how many students don't get these basics. Those schools actually DO try to teach students a

If these Python classes were given to an industrial engineer or a chemistry major who just needs enough programming knowledge to crunch numbers/create scripts I would definitely get the approach and agree with it. However, if you want

I feel like my definition of a lifestyle business is not a multi-million dollar business that has been around for 7 years. At this stage, it looks like you have a healthy, established business you are the sole owner of. I envy you and one d

You, my friend, are the best. As a huge soccer fan and a developer, getting this sort of data is really hard unless you shell out hundreds of dollars a month. Already thinking about the apps that will use this! Thank you.

Thanks for the link. I have used an RSS based feed by a gent in the UK and he was charging about 20euros/month for the feed. It has been two years and I cannot get the link. Will keep looking for it.

As a soccer fan, this makes me happy! When do you expect to finish? I would love to use this as a back-end API for a couple of app ideas I have. By the way the data side of the business is pretty tough to break into. What are your thoughts

If you want to fix this with me drop me a note. I have an idea, a design and a viable business model.

I agree with reading Kurzweil. The point I would argue is that if the "AI" is smart enough to handle all this on its own, it will probably realize it doesn't need to work for you :) There was a recent science-fiction book I r

Saw the movie this past weekend and thought it was really good. I didn't like it just because it has awesome voice driven OSes or endless battery life devices, but because it portrays a current trend we are experiencing; hyper connecte

Having had a similar business to appointment reminder in the past and not getting the traction I was looking for, folded too quickly (after 6 months of operations) and I still regret the decision. I applaud Patrick for keeping that business

I love this analogy. This makes me want to bring back to life the product that we killed after our 12 person private launch didn't get traction!

One of the most constructive replies. If you don't mind me asking, how did you get into SEO? Did you get professional help or try to tackle it yourself? PS: Kudos on the product, you just got yourself a future customer with the Atlassi

Thanks Spencer. It is encouraging to see success stories, especially considering you are around the block from the day job.

My current project is around providing value to LinkedIn users via an app. I believe LinkedIn itself and the app store are two obvious platforms that make sense for me to focus on.

Thanks for the candid reply! What I am working now at the moment is using LinkedIn as the authentication mechanism and adds a lot of value to LinkedIn users. I am thinking that getting the word on LinkedIn via posts and "likes" fr

Yes I did get about 10-12 users on the day of the launch. I suppose I am a bit biased reading the wildly successful launches that get thousands of users on the first day. One can only hope, right? Thanks for your response.
