Fortune Takes a Look at Bram Cohen

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the if-you-can't-beat-em-join-em dept.

jackstack writes "Fortune has an interesting article about bittorrent creator Bram Cohen. 'Right now I'm the CEO because I don't trust anyone else to be the CEO,' Bram says. The article goes into some interesting detail about Bram's state of mind, his poor history in college, and gives a glimpse of what it's like to go from being an unknown, brilliant geek - to the CEO of an $8.75 Million startup company."

    I can picture all the recorded media company execs getting together in small cabals, swapping stories on ways they'd like to kill Bram Cohen.

  2. Going from P2P to P-NP? by adavies42 · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the very last paragraph, it mentions Bram dropping by an old Bell Labs friend to talk about "satisfiability testing". If they're talking about 3SAT, does this mean he's working on P-NP?

    ... but an undereducated, socially-crippled, obsessive-compulsive, uncouth geek found a fertile, viable woman to not only marry him, but bear him child thricefold...

    dude is just getting his license. this is far more amazing than bittorrent and deserves its own thread.

    does anyone know if she's hot?
