Thank you!

I was curious about this too, http://yclist.com/ was able to answer some of my question. Go through the list, research a bit and do let us know if you find anything interesting :D

Hope this helped.

In that case I would also like to hear your opinions about stock market :D, in all seriousness there are people and companies who are trying to tackle some of the problems you mentioned and getting funded. Look on the positive side, tools and research by these guys can be used in education and medicine!

I understand most of focus in on the entertainment market but we can't blame particular set of people for that happening, magic leap is essentially promising something we have been looking forward to from so many years(since we saw stuff in sci-fi movies)!

I'm sure the technology will find practical uses, eventually. It's just that if immersive shoot-em-up games are to be understood as it's main selling point for the foreseeable future (which going by the video, is apparently the takeaway they'd like us to have), then you can count me as decidedly... unenthralled.

I have read about this in the past, to qualify for H1B you can add number of years in college(max. 3 in case of drop out) + years of experience in the related work(job you are applying for).

3 years of work experience constitutes to 1 year of college degree. Hope this helps

You might want to look out for meetups or something similar where you find potential technical co-founder. Check if any of your high school friends (basically people you know could be a good fit, teamwise) work in tech.

Hope this helps.

In all seriousness this could be quite important, I have been avoiding relationships all my life due to heavy workload in school. Seems like patterns gonna continue considering I plan to work more :|

Don't worry man, relationships will come when you least expect them. So, best thing to do is carry on with the heavy work until you reach work success. Then relax and take on hobbies you enjoy. The relationships will come, or they won't. Worrying and forcing them isn't the best strategy to allow them to grow and flourish and fruit.

Interesting, #3 seems to be more important one and I never understood things mentioned #4. Thanks for your perspective in such detail.

Well, I wasn't looking for exact those question but it still helps, especially the third part and the conclusion. Thanks!

Thank you for writing out such a detailed and insightful reply. This makes consider social prospect that I was completely ignoring before.

Interesting discussion in comments below the article about if this will open sourced at some point in future. If I understand it correctly MS is not under any obligation of open sourcing this which pisses me off considering how Bill Gates was against the whole open source concept(wrote many letters supporting his argument).

Bill Gates has not been running the company for many years. Whether it is open sourced or not has nothing to do with him. I expect it will depend on how much value they see open sourcing will be to the community will be an overriding factor.
