I think you nailed it in your last sentence. Where are the articles that point out how industrial 'batch' education is no longer serving kids of the present (the future)?

This type of shortsighted paternalism is peculiar to higher education, not just any system bloated with bureaucracy. The sanctimonious and patronizing reaction by UCF is a perfect …

What this post really brought home for me was the importance of 'knowing your shit'. Steve didn't have the degree, but he had the knowledge and could basically prove it. Lots of gr…

Actually a 2009 University of Waterloo study showed that affirmations might do more harm than good. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19493324

A great idea. Ctrl-shift-T is the key for repeating duplication in Photoshop, but it's also the shortcut for create the most recent tab in Chrome, so it's impossible to enter it un…

This reads like there is something missing from the story. They already had an office and a 9 person team, but they needed to borrow $4k from their parents to meet Branson?

I've been laying some groundwork for a website that I got started on with the understanding (although I may have 'misunderstood') that I was entering into a partnership agreement f…

Reminds me a bit of the plasticene game, Creachi. Same musical feel too. http://dougburnett.com/game/creachi/

Isn't that what Azure is all about? I don't know for sure. That's one of MSFT's classic flaws, too many options, too many platforms, too many ephemeral products.

Mirrors are not the only way to gain insight from an externality - other people hold up mirrors we can't see. After the perceived slight from the conceptual poet, I would have poin…

If they cheat this much, it's basically lying. I mean, I don't care. Lie to me. It's better than the truth, frankly. I haven't eaten at McDonald's in years and this is just one of …

I agree with you completely but you're omitting that Steve & Steve and Richard, and almost all the mythical entrepreneurial successes had found a way to fire their boss and landlor…

I think their landing page needs to indicate how they are different from Evernote. The ability to 'find cool new stuff' is intriguing - a bit like Stumbleupon + Evernote then? Also…

I know this is a fraud, and it's only because of the voice-over.

I think I basically agree with the 3 premises here, but of course the trick to produce 'novel self-expression' is a struggle unto itself. "Humans have a deep-seated psychological n…

I totally agree and in fact I would go further to say that the notion of 'genius' is nothing more than an inchoate, rudimentary classification system used to group together success…

It's not the same. I've been looking for something like this for a while, and as long as the free plan stays free I don't see why it wouldn't be quite useful.

I think this is great, but I'm still unclear about why market researching your idea would have caused you to not pursue it further. If you had asked users when you first started, o…

I think the consensus is this isn't really a new feature (around since at least 06/2010), just extended to include files in any folder, not just the 'public' folder.

It can't have been that long ago because I've been able to copy public folder links and share files with users who don't have Dropbox since I first signed up - back in June of augh…

Isn't this it?

Factorialboy - it looks interesting although I can't get it to work on our office browser which is a bit outdated (FF6.1). It works well in Chrome.
