Eric Schmidt: On April 4th I Will Step Down, Larry... →
From a programmer nerd, Schmidt has the most enviable resume. The entrepreneurs admire Jobs and Gates, but Schmidt worked his way through Bell labs, PARC, managed the release of Java, was CTO of Sun, CEO of Novell, and brought google from a well executed grad school project to dominate the internet. He turned down a job with the Obama administration to be the governments CTO. He also...

The Incredible Freedom Of A Facebook Engineer →
Facebook engineers decide what they want to work on and are allowed to make changes across the site without asking for permission.

NASA Must Study Space Sex, Scientist Says →
Zero-G brings some nice ideas to mind but I guess we’ll have to wait Miss ! NASA has always been silent on the subject of sex in space — which makes people all the more curious. How would it work? Has anyone done it before? Can a child be conceived in zero-G? With few animal tests and (virtually no human testing), there’s been next to no scientific analysis of the issue. Until now.
