TELL HN: The dots eventually do connect.

So I was really into physics in High School...I spent most of my time trying to solve hard physics problems even to the utter neglect of other subjects like Chemistry...I did not really make it to the best engineering institutions as my chemistry scores were very low.

But today while making a bouncing table for the iPad (for an app you are all going to use very soon) I used a beautiful second order differential equation for a damped harmonic oscillation..... had it not been for those high school years I could not have done it this easily.

Steve Jobs was right...The dots eventually do connect!
