It's a great idea. However, until they become accredited here in the US, the education is pointless. I talked with the head of transfers at my university, and was told they wouldn't even accept these classes for credit. Also, I don't know how many establish companies would take you seriously if your resume education listed a Bachelors from The University of the People.

Might be fine outside the US, but it has some BIG hurdles to jump here!

I was merely referencing the article:

"Sociologist Jean Claude Kaufmann says the French version combines Milgram's use of authority with the power of live television."

The article clearly demonstrates the amplification of the pressure and stress because of television environment.

In this experiment, 80% of the participants kept on buzzing. In Milgram's experiment, 65% of the participants kept on buzzing.

A 15% jump, to me, would show that the variable of the "TV" played a part.

Is there still any doubt about the power of the television!?

Interesting that the url of the search result is also green, like Google. I just opened the two sites side-by-side and their results use mostly the same color scheme:

Blue Title Black description Green URL

I would definitely say MS went with a the "familiarity factor."

On the contrary, if you stop and think about it, my comment is constructive; especially if you care about brand management. The simple fact is, Kayne's brand is tainted by his actions and diatribe. As a start-up, I would not want to engage my brand in the kind of controversies he stirs up (unless I was targeting only his fans as my demographic).

Wow, we have some Kayne West fans. Say what you want about him, but I wouldn't want his name connected to my start-up... not if I wanted to be taken seriously. Might as well quote Glenn Beck while you're at it.

He had me until he quoted Kanye West.

13%? That's all!? I figured it would be much higher, especially since 89% of the users are male.

Anyone see a connection with the real world Cybersyn and the fictitious Cyberdyne Systems from the Terminator movie?

The overcharged customers, of course... all 1.8 million of them.

Pity, as the meter in a cab is clearly visible and the regulations are posted for the passenger to see.

It is growing fast. It has more than doubled its market share. I don't care how small the actual starting number was, it is still good progress. If you don't think so, go ask Palm!

On a similar note, the rapid Android evolution, I think, might actually be harmful. I have been without a contract for over a year now. I have been wanting an Android phone. However, each time I settle for one, a new and better one rises over the horizon. So I wait. By the time that one comes to market, the pattern is repeated.

Another real interesting story, from this data, is that the iPhone growth has become stagnate. Looks like Apple hit the ceiling! Unless of course they add in iPad sales numbers next year.
