Tell us what school you teach at so I'm certain my daughter doesn't apply.

Nest keeps being referred to as novel and innovative in the article and honeywell as the old giant, yet how can that really be when they clearly infringed on patents that honeywell previously had. Honeywell was clearly more novel and innovative before Nest even existed.

I'll only agree with you on ep 3. The Vader/Obi Wan fight was painfully poor. And notice this guy didn't work on that one. I think that Lucas had no idea that his little creation would take off like it did and that his light saber concoction would turn into what it did, so not a great deal of effort was put into it.

You do understand what Hillary Clinton, the head of the State Department does, don't you?

I'm not sure why, but the trend of starting a sentence with the word 'Think' really grates on my last nerve.

100% of the bill introducers are democrats.

A ridiculous idea from the beginning, but when I got to the point where they think they can have a few gardens to replace the need for outside ventilation I had to laugh.

Programming in your basement is easy. Only a quarter (if that) of your classes for an actual degree are programming. All you mention are tools and languages, you're lacking tons of foundation and methodology. Sure colleges are in it to make money, but they are also in it to provide industry with what they are looking for. That includes the silly computer ethics, public speaking, etc, etc that most have to take.

This is a bit like buying a TV ad and complaining that it is costing you money for the airtime. The idea behind groupon is that you attract new customers with crazy low one time prices. Of course it may cost money. Advertising always does. In the end all she should care about is whether or not she adds enough extra customers to purchase more than $20k, or whatever her costs were do to this promotion, later on down the road.

While the video aspect of it seems a no brainer, I'm not following how the apps will work.

Supposedly you can translate from flash to air in which case it becomes a locally installed app.

My question is how will the facebooks of the world like this? You no longer need their website, you just run the app. I can't see this very good for them as far as revenue from ads/hits, etc. And how is this supposed to jive with apple's vision of the world where everything must be done via iTunes? I can't see them changing their tune. Again, if you need to grab all these from iTunes and not directly from the website you are on where is the incentive for Facebook to continue deploying more apps?

I must be missing something.
