Founded in 2004 by Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, Yelp is the latest in a long line of companies started by PayPal alumni to hit it big. Dubbed the "PayPal Mafia" in an article by Fortune magazine a few years ago, alumni from the payments company have gone on to start or run an amazing roster of companies. Reid Hoffman founded LinkedIn. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim started YouTube.

David Sacks founded Yammer. Keith Rabois is the COO of Square. As the old saying goes, once you're lucky, twice you're good. Why are PayPal alumni so successful? 1. PayPal had great people working within an entrepreneurial organization. 2. PayPal's founders had a monumental vision that encouraged employees to dream big. 3. To achieve PayPal's big vision, its team had to overcome a series of overwhelming obstacles that would've sunk most startups. 4.

Audio Downloads : SayIt. Are you ready to dazzle and amaze your friends by generating custom computer synthesized speech? Yes, I know it sounds almost like a dream too wonderful to be true, but your computer just needs a nudge in the right direction... With AnalogX SayIt! Inspired by that evil device many of us were tormented by as children, the Speak&Spell, AnalogX SayIt gives your computer a synthesized voice to rival that of Colossus (from the movie Colossus: The Forbin Project).

Type in any word or phrase, set the sliders to the appropriate settings, and click the 'Render' button - out pops a nice little wave file. Or, if you are just playing around, use the 'Preview' button and hear what it sounds like. SayIt works on all versions of Windows, from Window 95 to Windows 7 and everything inbetween (including XP, Vista, Win2k, etc). Material Science Madness: Crazy Metal Melts in Your Hand.

There is an incredible metal that shatters like glass, melts in a human hand, attacks other metals but is non-toxic to humans, and acts like an alien life form when exposed to sulfuric acid and dichromate solution. It sounds too amazing to be true, but gallium is an absolutely real chemical element that’s found in some of the gadgets we use every day. But perhaps more interestingly, there are a ton of insane experiments scientists like to do with gallium. Thanks to its odd properties and behavior, gallium can do some pretty strange things in the lab. The above video shows what happens when gallium “attacks” aluminum. The “gallium beating heart” experiment is a popular one that shows how gallium can act like a living thing when submerged in sulfuric acid and a dichromate solution.

By altering the surface tension of the gallium, the scientists are able to make the metal look like an organic beating heart. 30 free programming eBooks - citizen428.blog() Since this post got quite popular I decided to incorporate some of the excellent suggestions posted in the comments, so this list now has more than 50 books in it.
