I did able to finish part 2 , but I think , I am not going to write much about that . I kinda got bored about the story. It wasn't that muc existing as it was for Paypal. He was working in the Apple and by somehow , found himself writing a web-based email system. Within 20 months , the Hotmail was acquired by Microsoft at a price of $400 million. It was more like a I did this , they did that story. Not that much to talk about. Sorry Sabeer!. But I will re-evaluate my thoughts and...

Wow , pages have flown pretty quickly. Already finished 16 pages , and read  the story behind the  paypal and the guy behind it ; MAX LEVCHIN He started with cryptography and wrote some software packages into Palm Pilot ,and started the business around that. Afterwards , they did able to raise fund  around the Silicon Valley VC's. Although they have changed their business plan 6 times ,the last one was the PayPal. The most story was around the fraud thing , and how the other web payment companies had been smashed by the fraud loses. Max spent most of...

This book has been written by Jessica Livingston in 2007. I decided to give it a change. I also put a deadline to myself , otherwise it takes more time then it actually should. I will also try to write down some notes, thus I can summarize what I have read , and what things are going to be triggered afterward. My deadline is 7th of December, so I have 2 weeks to finish it up. Some quotes from the book ( copied from author's website, I hope she doesn't mind ) ; 2000 was basically the year of fraud, where...

The check will be done in runtime. The difference between var and dynamic , is basically , var is kinda trick that the language...

Back in couple of years ago , I remember , somebody told me , you've got brain killed by programming when you've reached your thirties.I though that time, I should run out of programming as soon as possible. Well , I kinda run out already, but from my current point of view , the real programming starts at 30ies. It is not the programming that kills you ,it is the business that makes you got brain killed! It is a challenging job , but it also requires the good understanding of the processes and people rather than the tools. It...

Do not re-invent the wheel , is a commonly used saying to express not to repeat that has been already done , but I bet , writing an operation system in your favourite language ( if this is the case for you ) might be fun! The whole idea is to make it as simple as possible ( hmm Vista is also simple , right , when you think about 50.000.000 Lines of production code , and you need to click Yes , agree , approve , deny 23423432 times / day )  Thus , take...
