   Sam, it would be great since you are the new President of YC if you could update the How to Apply to Y Combinator[1] page with your views on what a successful application looks like and your typical thought process when reviewing applicatio

   I wonder what % of their users are on Android. Everyone I know who owns a Pebble is on Android. Perhaps that is the minority?

   I don't get it. From the examples it seems that the jquery way of implementing things is much easier and more concise. Isn't that the entire point of a library?

   I love trying new products and experiencing the on boarding process. It's always very interesting for me to attempt to understand the root problem a new product is trying to solve and the steps they use to help explain that to you. I d

   With the NBA and NFL starting to allow online streaming of their games, I am seeing less and less reasons to keep my cable. Netflix, Hulu, NBA League Pass, and NFL Sunday Ticket would cover 90% of my cable consumption. The other 10%, HBO, i

   Websites that allow you to use a 128 character PW could very well be cropping it at whatever their max PW length is FWIW.

   This is very cool technology but I'm skeptical for its practical usage. Lots of people have already brought up the obvious pitfalls (atm use, accidental presses, banks potentially removing card liability) but I'd also probably car

    I met a few people who work at Zappos in Vegas. They couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoy working there.

    BBY is the ticker symbol for Best Buy, so I assume you mean BBRY? I've never used Blackberry Messenger. What makes you think it could be the "FB of messenger?"

    Yes, it was published posthumously. There is another book that was actually finished by another author after Crichton died which is called Micro. I get the feeling Pirate Latitudes was closer to a first draft than a final draft - but it&#x2

    I rarely browse social media on browsers, but if I did I'd use this to help block spoilers. I turned my phone off the night of the Breaking Bad finale because I wasn't able to watch it live.

    I would think Twitter would be able to better target ads to me based on who I follow and what I tweet. Based on the ads I've seen so far on Twitter, it seems like it's in its infancy. I don't "like" any businesses o

    Twitter's advantage is that companies already use the platform to broadcast things to followers. So "ads" are already inherently in the platform - but now they can pay money to broadcast those tweets to more than just people

    I created an API directory as a side project a few months ago. I manually posted new APIs submitted to the site on the Twitter account at first. It was kind of tedious, so I wrote a script to auto-post new APIs to Twitter.

    Either way, the quarrels between Apple and Motorola started far before Google bought them. I don't even know who Don Reisinger is. I googled it and linked the first result.

    No I'm not kidding you - patent trolls sue looking for a settlement because fighting the suit usually costs much more than settling would.

    I believe they were still seeking regulatory approval of the acquisition when the lawsuit was filed. Either way, Apple sued Motorola first in 2011.

    Google didn't bid on these patents because they were infringing - they bid on the patents so they wouldn't get patent trolled.
