Randy Pausch, renowned computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, died today, July 25, of complications from pancreatic cancer. Celebrated in his field for co-founding the pioneering Entertainment Technology Center and for creating the innovative educational software tool known as “Alice,” Pausch earned his greatest worldwide fame for his inspirational “Last Lecture.” That life-affirming lecture, a call to his students and colleagues to go on without him and do great things, was delivered at Carnegie ...

E’ forse la linea più detestata dai milanesi, la circolare 90-91 con i suoi filobus. Considerati da molti residenti come uno dei luoghi-simbolo della cosiddetta “emergenza sicurezza”. Un posto dove le ragazze non dovrebbero osare avventurarsi la notte, meno che mai da sole. Una linea piena di stranieri, tanto da essere stata il luogo delle retate sui mezzi di qualche mese fa. Eppure c’è qualcuno a cui piace da morire. Si tratta del famoso cantante ...

You know what little startup companies need these days? They need to hire more people! It may be a frightening thought, but in an increasingly social world - being social is becoming an important full time job. "Community Manager" is a position increasingly being hired for at large corporations (see Jeremiah Owyang's growing list of people with that kind of job) but what about smaller companies? We asked a number of people what they thought ...

Do companies in India employ people specifically for such roles?

Really well written piece. This is a cut above the shrill material of the blogosphere.Introspective, good primary research, well organized sections, etc.

Interesting. I've very rarely heard community manager as a role in startups. Then again, the idea of product manager at a startup is often split into 3 or more roles: product marketer, product planner, program manager, project manager.

New Zealand will be the first country in the world to get the Apple iPhone 3G, because of the country's position on the international dateline. Vodafone NZ is the carrier which is offering the iPhone, but its pricing plans - released today - have attracted a storm of criticism. Vodafone NZ has decided to charge extortionist prices for the iPhone 3G. Kiwis (including yours truly) are naturally outraged. The top of the line price is ...

So somebody else built a successful business on that idea you had three years ago. What does that mean? That if you would just have pursued that idea, you would now automatically be enjoying their spoils? Sorry to burst your bubble, but I really don’t think so. Ideas on their own are just not that important. It’s incredibly rare that someone comes up with an idea so unique, so protectable that the success story writes ...

David via Signal vs. Noise shared by 11 people Startup mythology demands that to create something great, you need superhuman sacrifices. You need to work for no pay, you need to put in 120 hours/week, you need to preferably sleep under the desk and live off pizza as a sole form of nutricient. As a result, you need to abandon your family and risk life without insurance. Hogwash! We’ve repeated this story so many times ...

A few weeks ago, we launched two layers on maps.google.com, accessible via the "More.." button. The photos layer displays Panoramio photos, continuously loading in more photos as you zoom in, and letting you click the photos to see the info window with more information. Behind the scenes, the implementation is basically a GTileLayerOverlay plus array of pixel bounds specifying the clickable areas. It's a clever technique that can be used whenever you have vast amounts ...Shared by Marco (3)Contribute comment
