By teaching thousands of people how to code, I learned that most of them usually struggle with the same questions and barriers. They don’t have motivation or specific goals for their learning process. They don't know what technology to start with. And there are nowhere for them to learn real skill sets to solve real problems. We need another way to learn effectively.

Breaking Benjamin Split Due to Song Dispute

Breaking Benjamin, who are currently in hiatus, have broken up. Frontman and founding member Benjamin Burnley fired guitarist Aaron Fincke and bassist Mark Klepaski, and took legal action against them for allegedly remixing the group's song "Blow Me Away" without consent.

The dispute over the song remix erupted in May, and ended up with Burnley firing Fincke and Klepaski via e-mail. In the lawsuit document filed in June, Burnley claimed his two former bandmates signed a deal with Hollywood Records to remix their song without his consent. In compensation, he is seeking $250,000.

Also, Burnley is entitled, under the band's partnership agreement, to retain exclusive ownership of the band's name. However, Fincke and Klepaski counter backed the statement. They argued that the agreement they made in 2009 about Burnley having permission to dismiss them for "cause" had been invalid since the band took hiatus in June 2010 due to his illness.

Per judge's order, the dispute is going to arbitration.

Apple has more cash than the federal government

 

 Who's ready for iAmerica? As the BBC has reported, the software company Apple has more cash on hand than the United States federal government, according to the company's financial records.
Apple's quarterly financial report shows that the company responsible for the iPad, iPod and the iPhone now has $76.4 billion in reserve cash, while the Treasury Department is sitting on just $73.7 billion.

The feds could probably learn a thing or two from Apple's success. Congress remains embroiled in a debate over spending and whether the federal government, which currently owes trillions in debt, should be allowed to borrow even more. International credit rating agencies have threatened to downgrade the national debt for the first time in the nation's history if Washington doesn't come up with a solution to lift the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling while implementing a concrete plan to get the nation's financial house in order.
Meanwhile, Apple's financial report shows that the company's profits, even through the last recession, are booming.

i cheated myself like I knew I would…I told you I was trouble…

I know many are yet to blog about this heartbreaking event, and scores of people probably have already, but I am sincerely saddened by the passing of arguably one of thee greatest musicians of our time. Amy Winehouse. The name itself has a life of its own, and although the media have created a global image of the deceased star which could easily be misconstrued as much as it is goose-pimple inducing, my sentiments for the eternal Winehouse will forever be laced with a great respect for her as a remarkable artist. I pray that we not forget the magic she spun in songs like You Sent Me Flying and the infectious Rehab (below).
A life lost at the tender ripe age of 27, she goes down in history with other honoured greats like the greatest guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix, and first lady of Rock ‘n Roll, Janis Joplin.

Jimi Hendrix

Janis Joplin

Janice Joplin performs one of my favourite Alternative songs, Cry Baby. I love this song mainly for the powerful message it carries (of embracing and not taking for granted where one is and what one has) and the undeniable gritty, passionate performance she gives.

Amy’s first performance at Glastonbury in 2004. She would give her last in 2008.
