Former CS professor of both Gates and Zuckerberg on dropping out of college

Harry Lewis is awesome.

I wonder how this sort of analysis, especially at Harvard, will interface with the new Harvard Innovation Lab (i-lab.harvard.edu) being built as we speak. Academia may be able to adapt to help make startups easier in a traditional academic environment, or to help make academia more meaningful for students doing startups.

This is a really great response. TechCrunch had an article a month ago with several deans responding to Thiel's thesis. I think this is a better supplement to their defense of college. and wish that TC would help link it.
