Has anyone seen the September 2013 issue of Popular Mechanics? There is an article on pages 65-72 titled "Hacking Your Education".

I found the same article posted online at http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/education-2-0-fixing-the-broken-higher-ed-system-15805613

An interesting resource mentioned was Y Combinator (which reminded me somewhat of the Thiel Fellowship). I found Y Combinator online at http://ycombinator.com/

Has anyone else read this? Anyone participated? What are your thoughts?
