I consider this great news, it gives me hope (I'm 42). I'm not buying the received wisdom that says that only very young entrepreneurs found tech startups.

True. It even happens to priests and pastors. You wouldn't believe how many people you've never seen or heard of before will look you up and call you, saying how much they'd love a nice little wedding…

I'm curious why pg, even then, referred to Macs as open. I don't seem to remember that. What definition of "open" is he using?

It's already a common thing. That ship left port a long time ago: personal sites are very common. How is this fundamentally different, in terms of self-promotion, than a personal site with a resume on…

Not just flyover country USA, as you pointed out-- "struggling societies." I would have said "developing countries." That's a much bigger market for Yahoo! I'm thinking of countries like the Philipp…

I've been an active user of Google Reader since it went live, and I also have a Google profile. When I enabled Buzz, the only users added to my Buzz network were those already in my GReader shared ne…
