Google’s very first employee, Craig Silverstein, is leaving the company to join the high-profile online learning phenom, Khan Academy. News of the departure first appeared yesterday in a line in a newsletter on education-tech entrepreneurship EdSurge, and the search giant confirmed the departure to me. [UPDATE: Here's a statement from a Google spokesperson -- and not CEO Larry Page (classy and appreciative of others as ever!, Larry!) -- on Silverstein's leaving: "Craig's been with Google since ... show all text

Tutta la “stampa” italiana – anche il Post – ha riferito della copertina del settimanale Time dedicata al presidente del Consiglio Mario Monti, spesso però omettendo di spiegare che Time ha copertine diverse nelle sue diverse edizioni globali. Mario Monti è sulle copertine di tutte le edizioni internazionali non americane, mentre ai lettori statunitensi viene offerta un’immagine che annuncia un servizio sulle relazioni sociali tra gli animali.
