Comment on Go to College. Seriously. by Jeff

a) Go to a cheap public school so you’re not wasting money
b) Work on your stuff while you’re there, without worrying about grades
c) Drop out when it becomes apparent that a degree is not useful

Can’t hurt

Firefox mobile = Fennec
It’s in BETA, so they are pushing it

I really like this one. Admittedly it gets a little deeper than I need in the second half, but the first half is/will be very useful in the near future! And I will try and remember your site, if years down the line, I have enough money to need an estate planning attorney :-).

Mozilla-Google partnership was mutually beneficial for both parties. Mozilla was payed by Google on a per search basis. Google made money from all the residual search advertisements which makes up the bulk of their business. I further bet that the agreement will be renewed in the recent future.

Chrome isn’t necessarily meaning to compete with FF, although it naturally will. Their original announced goal at least was to push the standards of current browsers and provide a source of innovation.

Firefox took this to heart; the next version of FF currently codenamed minefield uses a rewritten JS engine, which is much faster(they stole some other things too).

First rule of thumb, never underestimate Google. IE may be bundled with computers right now, but let the whole anti-trust crowd rise up again and we will see other options more readily available. I wouldn’t be surprised to see HTC bundling a Google branded browser with their phones instead of Opera within a couple of years.

I thought only Graduate can apply for this competition. Wasn’t it?

Comment on When Education Might Become a Priority Again by Prashant

“This is how it’s going to happen: one day, China and India will finally, effectively, scare the crap out of the US.” Funny how it has to come to that in order for the government to wake up. But then again, I’m not holding my breath. It’s been a well known fact that test scores in the USA have been paltry compared to their Asian counterparts.

P.S. I take it you don’t use Firefox? Your comment form fields are messed up
