Which city in Canada is the best for internet startups, considering abundance of talent, a startup culture...? Edit: Thanks to all those who gave in input.

agree.... I hope the wireless careers can give some stiff competition to the wired incumbents like comcast, road runner and their ilk.... that did be nice!!!!!!!

There are a lot of areas which need critical breakthroughs to solve the increasingly critical circumstances casued by increasing population, increasing buying power and limited res…

Thank you all for the suggestions. Its given me a lot of food for thought.

I am not sure if this is a direct answer, but I think it can be indicative of possibilities. I worked with a contractor on Odesk, he was based in India. This is what used to happen…

Hi, I am a novice programmer, currently self-learning, would really like to understand Object Oriented Programming well. Can anyone suggest some books that are good at explaning OO…

A question you may have to answer yourself might be: 1) Are you looking to have a safe job type career? or 2) Are you trying to build something that you have in mind?

Windows beat Apple to market share by involving a whole bunch of customers,licensing out the product, involving a whole bunch of potential partners in the development process. Isn'…

That was very funny!

That was good advice. Thanks. I guess thats true, at the end its like any other relationship. Like the ref to "I love you, Man", watched that movie. I see what you mean.

quite often, in such company sales as well as in stocks/real estate and many other forms of investments, the sale price is a function of future earning potential. Of course, the fu…

Nice reply, also gives a good idea on the complexities/challenges involved in scaling up a startup to global markets.

Around 5 years ago, I read an interview given by Bill Gates. In that, the inteviewer remarked about Gates' reputation for having in-depth knowledge on diverse subjects. And the int…

Or is it a unified term that we like to use for a concept with lot more factors at work than we care to acknowledge? say like the way we use the word "God" to explain anything that…

Couldn't help adding this on: Don't go on in the fear of another burnout. It will severely curtail your pushing yourself to your limits. Its only by pushing your limits and breakin…

It would depend on what I am tuning my life for at a particular period fo time. Earlier, I used to tune my life with the purpose of filling two of my biggest bottlnecks to reaching…

"....BioNectar4534.... " of Merc - that is so funny. Where do they come up with names like these? The energy density of batteries is probably going to be the single most critical d…

got a thought I had to unload: What if there were a site where non-profit orgs, non-government orgs or charity orgs can post 'jobs' (unpaid) on a website and people can volunteer t…

good question. a compact answer to that question could be either "yeah, the market is limited to those who have already discovered the gains in productivity by using multiple scree…

if the same miniaturization technologies as Ipad were used, wouldn't the 15" have a lesser weight/unit screen area, when the computing electronics/battery components are removed? O…

so true and in some completely different areas too - the vhs-betamax wars, the HD/Bluray. Probably one is going to be brewed up between bluetooth/wifi direct or mebbe its already w…

that indeed would be a problem. I wonder how much power the Ipad screen uses. hmm... mebbe a regular power cord would be required.

wouldn't a permanently attached second monitor increase the form factor of the laptop itself?

That did be a great idea by itself. Still, when wanting to carry a really small laptop, an ipad is quit an additional weight.

An idea has been stirring in my grey mash for a while, got no way I can follow it up. But, I was wondering what you would think of it: A large monitor(extension) for a small laptop…
