Why kids like robots more than families and schools: A recent Study Reveals – Part 3

The deeper implication of the study, however, is that, psychologically, kids are very receptive to a future where robots are an integral part of their lives. As robust robotics classes, after-school robotics programs, and robotics competitions bring robots into everyday reality, we might want to ask: will robots in the classroom and as “study companions” in the […]

The Things to learn from the Facebook artist – Part 1

David Choe, 36, is an accomplished painter in Los Angeles who has exhibited his work in galleries and museums. But he achieved worldwide fame this week when tweeters and headline writers dubbed him “The Facebook graffiti artist.” The accompanying story was less about his success as an artist, than about his success as an investor. As you […]

The Things to learn from the Facebook artist – Part 2

Choe actually made a mistake here: Back in 2005, when he took on the project with Facebook, he reportedly said he thought the whole idea of the company was “ridiculous and pointless.” He invested against his better judgment. And he happened to get lucky. 3.       Be prepared to lose your entire investment. Most start-up companies […]

Facebook’s Future: Will it be successful for the social network?

Facebook filed their S-1 document at the Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday, February 02. The move to go public in the summers will certainly lure much wanted cash to the California-based company. Analysts have estimated the net worth of the company in 2012 to be in tune of around $80 to $90 Billion, up […]

Will retail investors get to taste Facebook’s stock as it comes out in the summers?

In the 24 hours or so since Facebook filed its long-awaited S-1 and started on the way to a second-quarter public offering, some of the focus has been on the near-certainty that the bulk of the social network’s shares being sold will be snatched up by big institutions and high net-worth individuals. There are some […]

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg presents Hacker’s Way before the investors – Part 1

As Facebook furthers its move to becoming Facebook, Inc., there are certain things that the world’s largest online social network will have to take into the fold.

Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg presents Hacker’s Way before the investors – Part 2

“Hacking is also an inherently hands-on and active discipline. Instead of debating for days whether a new idea is possible or what the best way to build something is, hackers would rather just prototype something and see what works. There’s a hacker mantra that you’ll hear a lot around Facebook offices: “Code wins arguments.” “Hacker […]

The largest online social network in the world has now taken a big stride to get into the corporate world. After being surrounded by rumours for almost a year since the first word got out of Facebook’s headquarters, Mark Zuckerberg and company filed for their initial public offering at the Securities and Exchange Commission on […]

Facebook IPO boosts Mark Zuckerberg’s Dollar worth – Part 2

Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, whose work on the company was depicted in the 2010 film “The Social Network” owns 133.8 million shares, or 7.6 percent.

Eduardo Saverin, another co-founder and Harvard classmate who sued Zuckerberg over ownership of the company, isn’t mentioned in yesterday’s filing. Neither are Tyler […]

Sony Vaio F (Complete Review) – Part 1

Sony has always been one of the best laptop manufacturers in the market with the state-of-the-art circuitry and beautiful structures. However, the company has been lagging behind in the gaming category, with only a handful of notebooks in the market, dedicated to gaming. Dell XPS, Alienware and Macbook Pro/Air have ruled such niche. But this […]

Sony Vaio F (Complete Review) – Part 2

The system’s silhouette is very distinctive; the body and lid are both wider at their tops, narrowing below. The effect, as seem from the side, is of two trapezoids stacked on top of each other. Also note that the base has a larger overall footprint than the lid, so the two halves don’t clamshell together […]

Sony Vaio F (Complete Review) – Part 3

Sony does, however, pack a decent amount of extra software into the system, and unlike previous years where Sony was well-known as a bloatware king, there are a few apps on here that are real gems. They are easiest to find through the Vaio Gate shortcut bar that floats along the top edge of the […]
