If you have a familiarity with data science, there are many companies looking for people with experience in this field to build out their teams. I went to a meeting of data science professionals recently and they outlined some of what they're looking for, and I made a board on it if you'd like to look at it. http://www.verious.com/board/AKumar/the-hive-a-b-testing-inf...
Awesome talk. I was just thinking about AR and it's possibilities from this invasive code post ( http://www.verious.com/board/iNVASIVECODE/augmented-reality/). It seemed like the first salvo towards VR, but it's good to hear they're progressing in unison. Will Doom 4 impress us to the next level?
Data science is important these days. I learned a lot from a presentation I went to a Microsoft's offices recently. Check them out if you'd like. http://www.verious.com/board/AKumar/the-hive-a-b-testing-inf...
Clojure is awesome, its community is awesome, I think it's an awesome thing to learn if you can take the time. I put together some tutorials on it for any learners out there. http://www.verious.com/board/AKumar/improving-performance-wi...

Interesting challenge. I just attended a meeting of data science professionals at linkedin, microsoft, netflix and lean plum they all were talking about the need for more data science professionals. This might help you out if you're thinking about entering this challenge. http://www.verious.com/board/AKumar/the-hive-a-b-testing-inf...
