Blog Essay: Important Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each OtherImportant Questions Startup Co-Founders Should Ask Each Other Nice essay. One thing I have learned in my experience with startups is that if you are not careful, you are as likely to experience as many challenges with your co-founder(s) as you are with the business itself. The following are some of the most important questions that should be resolved as early in the process as possible. In most cases, these issues only get more difficult over time... http://onstartups.co...Id/1010/Default.aspx |

If I got one of these 20-inch laptops, would someone carry it for me?Those crazies over at LAPTOP Magazine got it in their heads to do a bit of social experimentin' with one of Dell's 18 pound XPS M2010 monstrosities. They lugged the 20-inch system through the subway, a Starbucks and a park in search of reactions from Manhattanites, and while we won't spoil all the surprises ... Read the origninal article ... |
