Famous tech drop-outs

I decided it to update my list of famous tech drop-outs.

Mark Zuckerberg – Facebook
Bill Gates – Microsoft
Steve Jobs – Apple
Michael Dell – Dell
Larry Ellison – Oracle
Mike Lazaridis – Blackberry
Shawn Fanning – Napster
Blake Ross – Firefox

I am sure you can help me complete my list. (Note: I think a better list would be “people without a college degree who made it big in tech.”)

See also my preceding article Where would we be without school drop outs?

Update: I do not mean to imply that there is a causal relation between dropping out of college and making it big.
