Here to the crazy ones narrated by Steve Jobs himself.

I am little surprised that 37signals buys online ads. Here is what I found on New York Times. And another surprise is that the Ad don’t even mention 37signals at all. Hmm?

A special event ‘ Celebrating Steve ’ @ Apple campus on 19th of October, 2011. Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Inc. Watch the ‘ Celebrate Steve ’ event here.

I haven’t watched any similar interview with the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and I just loved it. Not really for the stereo type questions that were asked, but the way he talked about things in and around Facebook. Watch live video from Startup School on Justin.tv Nice watch.

A choice between money now and money later.

Steve Blank's presentation on "Why Accountants Don't Run Businesses" discusses about how the eco-system of Entrepreneurship and startups is fast changing around the world: costs, venture capital, incubators and others.

Just came to know that Dennis Ritchie, known to the world as the creator of C Programming Language has passed away recently. May he rest in peace. C has been at the foundation of almost all software systems and the world of software owes a great deal to this genius. For me personally, if I hadn’t been introduced to C on that wonderful day by my friend Naga Sreenu, I wouldn’t be where I am, most importantly I wouldn’t be what I am today.  The initial infatuation and then love of C language, on Unix and that initial romance and excitement of solving C programming samples has turned my career forever.  And it changed the way I approach any problem since then. Thank you so much and may he rest in peace.
