I haven't started a company (yet!) and can't imagine what the OP is going through but reading this made me feel better :). I will definitely save this for future reference for when I do start (and more than likely fail) my first c

I have to agree that rapgenius has a great product but their "juvenile and occasionally offensive" demeanor tends to overshadow this. Would love to see them turn their image around but I'm not sure how likely that is. I'

The "protect me from myself" feature would be great on a per item basis. Say, for example, I'm setting up a dripfeed for a new phone (nice-to-have) and another for winter jacket (really need). When setting up the dripfeed for

Seems like a good idea but as mentioned no privacy policy does raise a few concerns. Also, when I tried the www.google.com example it redirected to www.google.ch

These really don't seem like "shortcuts" per se. More like general tips to position yourself for getting hired. Maintaining an online presence, preparing for interviews (especially technical) and networking all take a ton of

Interesting that he mentions hackaton's as one of the keys to his success. Does anyone know of a good place/resource to find out about upcoming hackatons?

I hate when apps ask to post to Facebook or Twitter on my behalf. It's uncomfortable and puts the user in an awkward position. Great article, hope some of these companies take note!

Wow, that guy is something else. It's hard to believe that he was in such position. Shame.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the stock. Simply pointing out that after IPO it tanked. But congrats on the gains!

This is a matter of your investing preference and whether you are a buy-hold investor or a day-trader type who wants to get in at the lowest price. I simply wanted to point out I was skeptical and that FB stock tanked after IPO. I am by no

Not sure about the value, or how much money it brings in. According to Twitter "Promoted Tweets are ordinary Tweets purchased by advertisers who want to reach a wider group of users or to spark engagement from their existing followers.

Yeah it is, but you didn't make nearly as much money if you bought during the IPO than if you got in when the stock fell to $17-$20 range. It was highly over-valued at IPO

I'm skeptical about Tech IPOs. I wonder if as many people are going to buy into the hype as they did with the Facebook IPO.

I would suggest to continue working at your current job while still working towards your career goals. For one you can start researching companies where you see yourself working and that align with your career goals. After you have gathered

I've been taking an algorithms course on Coursera and I'm really enjoying it. It's taught by two professors from Princeton, Kevin Wayne and Robert Sedgewick. Heres the link: https://www.coursera.org/course&#x2

Is it me or is the design really distracting? I'm using Firefox and I see a blue background with gray text and it's really hard to read. I suspect it might be because I'm using an older version of Firefox, but if this is it t

I am having the same problem on Firefox, but otherwise I think it is a great idea. As mentioned, you should consider how to handle articles that might get lost or deleted. It would also be interesting to allow to share a Timecapsule with fr

I think what has to be considered here is how we view the future of the desktop vs. that of mobile. With the ever growing numbers in the mobile space along with tablets and other devices, I don't see desktops being as widely used/

Great points, I definitely agree. Anti-productivity of one employee can become a plague and affect numerous employees and the resume and job interview process is indeed broken. Good luck with your system and look forward to hearing how it t

Sunrise alarm clock = epic. Definitely need to look into getting one. Seems like a better alternative than using my phone as an alarm, which I feel like throwing across the room in the morning when it wakes me up :)
