What is this 4am club? I'm a big Jordan fan and I haven't heard about any of this and a quick Google search comes up nothing about Jordan practicing at 4am.

All the courses have been delayed, I received one for the Tech. Entrepreneur that indicated the delay has to do with IP and copyright issues. Problems that sound like they do not bode well to resolving quickly ...

Thank the CRTC for that, there's a lot of complicated regulations regarding the telecom industry and the requirement for Canadian ownership. Which is ironic because we welcome foreign entities to setup and drill our oil but opening up the t

I'm not fond of the idea of giving out a recognized form of achievement as then the incentive changes from the sake of learning to earning a degree.

Absolutely spot on. I struggled with the notion of putting myself out there on the internet as since the days of BBS's I've always interacted with other "internet folk" through an alias and very much under a different persona. Even running

Interesting that he brings up Apple as during their IPO, if it wasn't for Wozniak and his "Woz Plan" the majority of Apple employees and the former earlier employees would have been frozen out of the IPO. Jobs was very much against giving u

Interesting that I read this article today as yesterday my bank called and said that they are sending a new debit card with this technology. I never heard the technical term of NFC before but it's been around my country for awhile under the

There are internal and external roadblocks when trying to learn a new skill as an adult and sadly both become reinforcing. Externally I think there's a lot of cynicism from other people wondering why you are bothering trying to learn someth

Seems very similar to http://erly.com , a startup that just launched a couple weeks ago. The difference is that Facebook builds an automatic timeline from your data and erly you have to import everything manually from Facebook.

I'm doing something similar with trying to learn how to program. I call it Brute Force Learning which is not exactly deliberate practice but more akin to just doing it and hoping it sticks. The reason is because I've always wanted to learn

I'm in the same boat working on a simple web application. There are great lessons to learn when you try the other shoe on for size. Things that I thought were trivial become real difficult, especially when you don't plan them from the start

Every school in America does this, but in English of course. I came to Canada at the age of four and enrolled in kindergarden without knowing a word of English. I don't remember much but I know I was able to assimilate fairly well and able

I always thought failure was an important concept to learn, not failure in itself, but failure and the ability to pick yourself up afterwards. I cringe to think about today's kids who are growing up in an environment where failure is foreig

I was in the same boat until I actually sat down and tried to do it. Look, the problem with being a self-learner is discipline, meaning discipline not to cheat by just Googling the answer. Discipline to swallow your pride that not everythin

Why not? This is traditionally the video game hardware model where you sell the hardware at a lost and make up for it on video game sales. Some smart company out there, if done right can easily undermine the Apple dominance by lowering the

Just Googling is horrible way to learn how to program. Sure you may find an answer relatively quickly, but down the road when you come up against more difficult problems and can't find the answer, what then? You don't learn by just Googling
