The average startup founder’s age is 42. But for the most successful tech companies — we’re talking the top 0.1% of revenue — the average age is a little different. Are the most successful tech companies founded by someone older or younger than 42? (Hey, you have 50-50 odds today!)
With the updated Google for Education App Hub, educators and school admins have, at a glance, 25 apps to update class rosters, grade papers and so much more. My homeroom teacher once told me I’d never amount to much because of how I procrastinated. I replied, “Just you wait.”

To die for: Watch out for ambiguous-sounding Facebook posts, like, “It won’t be the same without him” or “I can’t believe he is gone.” That’s a big red flag your connection’s account got hacked and the scammer’s setting you (and other connected friends and family) up to steal account creds — or money.
