Others have pointed out that WebObjects is an actual Apple framework for making web applications. If I'm not mistaken, Dell used to use it for their online ordering site in the late 1990s. Apple used it also for the first iTunes Store itera

The man is burned out and has given up though he doesn't realize it. The best thing he could do at this point is to team up with some extra hackers, promise a revenue share, and let them get something out the door in 6 months while he rec

While I admit Obama has some points, the discussion is far too complex to address in a presidential speech and I don't think he struck the proper tone. A man with one watch knows the time; a man with two watches is never quite sure. His s

Where I live, for under $10 the law society runs a hotline which you can call to be referred to a lawyer that can help your specific situation. As part of that referral service, you get a 30-45 minute consultation for free I believe. That's

Talk to a lawyer too. By posting this you no longer have plausible deniability in the event something bad happens down the road. For example, maybe your client is hacked and an investigation is opened by the credit card company who finds ou

Good customers offer to pay for detailed proposals like this. They only ask for a few free hours of your time in order to meet you and see if they want you to make a proposal. Great customers will offer to pay you for even that time. The si

I'd like to elaborate on what I said, because some people make take it as me being dismissive of startup attempts. That wasn't my intention. But if you have launched a startup and never actually had a customer, then you've missed the quinte

You haven't truly started a business until you've made your first sale. Sure, this is an opinion, but it's one that I firmly believe in. From what I know of people who "start businesses" these days, most end up not actually making any money

When I was 19 just over a decade ago and the music industry was just catching onto CD burning and MP3s, I wrote directly to some Canadian lobbyists. At the time they were pushing for levies on recordable CDs. Considering CDs ran almost a $1

I know people that still use really old computers. If you're trying to sell something to them, they aren't your market. If you think they care that your website looks like absolute crap on their computer, they don't really care. These aren'

I honestly think Steve Jobs should make light of the situation and have your friend walk the production version of the new iPhone onto the stage at June's keynote. It was the plastering of this guy's poor face and name across their site tha

Yup, that is why I don't hang out with geeks (at least computer ones). Most startup geeks and developers as you refer to them should step away from the keyboard and join a house league sports team; one with people they can talk to that won'

I read it back in 2003 I believe, just after I got into Macs and got really interested in studying about Steve Jobs. It was an entertaining read for sure. Nothing spectacular but this particular chapter is the one that stands out to me afte

Quite honestly YC is the only one of these kinds of ventures that I trust. And even in the case of YC, if I were to advise a budding pair of young entrepreneurs, I'd tell them to move back in with their parents for a year, get a low skill b

Starting a company in Canada among 2 or 3 people is easy. I should know because I did it when I was a teenager. It cost me $15 for some incorporation templates, $150 for a name search report showing potentially similar company names to the

I totally agree if it's a choice between somewhat decent SSD (e.g., I'd probably avoid the Samsungs that Apple actually offers) or hard disk, go for SSD. I'm just disappointed that Apple hasn't yet enabled TRIM support. They apparently laid

by 9oliYQjP 17y ago
Unfortunately while there are strategies to mitigate the problem in hardware, proper TRIM support is still best. You might be getting confused by the TRIM enabled firmware that was released in December '09 for that SSD? It just means that t

by 9oliYQjP 17y ago
Not only that. I've been a Mac user for almost 10 years now but I'm waiting for them to add TRIM support to OS X before taking the SSD plunge. Everybody using an SSD on OS X should understand that its performance will degrade more quickly t

Ever considered setting aside say 5% of your funding allocation for wildcard acceptances? Every company that gets rejected from YC could go into a lottery and depending on the absolute size of that 5%, a number of companies could make it in

Maybe border guards are jerks to non-citizens. And it's funny, please tell Fox News that are border laws are more stringent. Apparently we're the leaky sieve of North America when it comes to letting in terrorists :)

Never talk to police. Never ever ever. Back in high school, I broke up a fight. I came between two people and stopped them from duking it out. A nice, kind, female police officer started talking to me. She asked me how old I was. I replied

I generally agree with you but I wonder if this is a generational issue. I personally would never leave a video comment to somebody's YouTube video. But I see a lot of younger people (e.g., under 23) who are absolutely comfortable doing so.

For the past year at least, it's become tiring for me to even read the headlines for these kinds of articles. I've become more and more cynical as people pump out yet another logical fallacy themed blog post whose headline is carefully craf

I'm playing devil's advocate here, but is it possible that they thought so negatively of you that they didn't want to violate the old "if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing" rule? Your response here in the thread does not paint

Is it time to start seriously considering downtime as something that is not to be avoided, but rather embraced in small, controllable amounts? Hear me out. If you have a server and keep adding software and features to it without rebooting i

I tend to agree, but I'm a bit more cynical. These days governments use the word "terrorism" to describe acts against which they would like to retaliate with the backing of their citizens. The term has become a trigger word for prompting a
