It's a great idea. However, until they become accredited here in the US, the education is pointless. I talked with the head of transfers at my university, and was told they wouldn't even accept these classes for credit. Also, I don't know how many establish companies would take you seriously if your resume education listed a Bachelors from The University of the People.
Might be fine outside the US, but it has some BIG hurdles to jump here!
Interesting that the url of the search result is also green, like Google. I just opened the two sites side-by-side and their results use mostly the same color scheme:
Blue Title
Black description
Green URL
I would definitely say MS went with a the "familiarity factor."
On the contrary, if you stop and think about it, my comment is constructive; especially if you care about brand management. The simple fact is, Kayne's brand is tainted by his actions and diatribe. As a start-up, I would not want to engage my brand in the kind of controversies he stirs up (unless I was targeting only his fans as my demographic).
Wow, we have some Kayne West fans. Say what you want about him, but I wouldn't want his name connected to my start-up... not if I wanted to be taken seriously. Might as well quote Glenn Beck while you're at it.
Here in NJ, the Governor is swinging blindly with an axe. If much of his cuts get passed, there is a real possibility some local munis will actually go bankrupt... along with their bonds. While this is speculation right now, it does seem that either counties are going to go broke or the State is.
There was also a story not too long ago about foreign investors forgoing the usually favorable T-bills because there were considered too risky. I am not quite sure what that really means. Here it is at WSJ: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB3000142405274870480420457506...
Now, about this 0.00%. I firmly believe that we are in a time vacuum, by design. You see, consumers form the foundation of our economic system. They are the engine. By keeping interest rates across the board obscenely low, we are providing much needed time for them to pay off debts. Once the bulk of the consumers become stable, then the rates should rise. Until then, the front of the caterpillar has to wait for the back to catch up!
It is growing fast. It has more than doubled its market share. I don't care how small the actual starting number was, it is still good progress. If you don't think so, go ask Palm!
On a similar note, the rapid Android evolution, I think, might actually be harmful. I have been without a contract for over a year now. I have been wanting an Android phone. However, each time I settle for one, a new and better one rises over the horizon. So I wait. By the time that one comes to market, the pattern is repeated.
Another real interesting story, from this data, is that the iPhone growth has become stagnate. Looks like Apple hit the ceiling! Unless of course they add in iPad sales numbers next year.
Interesting idea. I suppose hospitals should get rid of the clowns that entertain hospitalized children. I mean, they use humor to make them laugh. I suppose medical science should retract their findings that laughter can indeed heal, since humor obviously is a destructive force.
I don't mind if people don't want to upvote a joke. That is fine by me. But, we don't need to downvote them either.
I disagree with jokes being the catalyst which will change HN into Reddit or Digg. I don't think it is the comments that turn the worm, rather the quality of the bookmarks which are submitted. If the heart is true, the body will be also.
What bunk. He tries to say that riding the backs of the birds is a rip of Harry Potter. Does the guy know nothing of Greek Mythology? Did he not see Clash of the Titans with Persius riding the back of Pegasus; which clearly predates Potter.
What is wrong with people here? They lack any sense of humor. Besides, this guy is making money selling ads. I'm surprised there wasn't a solicitation for a book. Oh wait.
