The Best Schools For Tech Careers, Vintage Ads That Make Us LOL

by Matthew Zuras on May 4, 2010 at 06:50 PM

There's a load of great tech news happening out there every day, and, unfortunately, we just can't cover it all. Here are a few of the other noteworthy things we saw today on our never-ending journey through the wild, wild Web.
  • Just because some of the kings of tech never finished their undergraduate studies (Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg) doesn't mean that kids today should skip the college experience. In fact, if they want futures in tech, they should check out this ranking of the top 29 tech-titan-breeding schools by The Daily Beast. Because you know who else dropped out of college? Fast-food workers and the homeless. [From: The Daily Beast]
  • Speaking of college, RCA student Julian Bond created the Pixel Mould in order to shape ceramic objects with a LEGO-like texture. By moving individual "pixels" in the mold, Bond is able to create highly geometric, abstract and simply amazing designs in clay. [From: MoCo Loco]
  • These vintage spots for Atari, MS-DOS and Commodore are like madeleines and lime blossom tea for our brains, as we dive into the remembrance of tech past. (Don't get the reference? We repeat, emphatically, go to college!) Also, check out the mops on some of these people. Did the '80s run entirely on hairspray? [From: ITWorld]
