   People here understand what's possible. They are aware when something is sub-optimal. If I go and ask the majority of people on the street they won't even know they have a problem.

   Fred talks about a five/six year timespan having been good. That's about the lifespan of a VC fund. The burst will be caused by a tightening in VC spending, and I think poor returns on funds raised five years ago will cause this. This makes

   Something that ranked every non-dead article is well outside the scope of my skillset, even just looking at title and source. If you could get that working you'd be onto a winner.

   Sorry if I came across unappreciative - I do appreciate your idea. I just tend to enjoy seeing items that I wouldn't otherwise consider reading - perhaps this is still a bit of novelty from not having been here very long. I find that if I'

   I'm not convinced - there's already an incredibly powerful filter on HN that finds and reads all the articles and rates them as being of interest to the audience. I suspect that the appeal of something that filtered HN for people with narr

   Great idea. Sort of like an Appstore for webapps (without payments). http://www.appappeal.com/ was the first thing I came across - it looks awful. Anyone used it?

    With hindsight this would have been a flop even with TC's backing. In a way TC have got away without a failed product to their name. I think TC assumed that Apple would be launching that iPad at $1000, and that they could then shift the J

    I moved to Yii from CI and never looked back. CI was lacking the most basic features - I cannot believe it still has so many users.

    I'm in the UK, so we're pretty comfortable paying to send SMS messages. I definitely think businesses would be prepared to pay for it - it saves on flyering.

    The trouble with these consolidation threads is that they disappear down the listings so quickly that no-one will add their offer to it when it's on page 5.

    Cheers - very good of you. For now I'm going to just work on the fundamentals before going for a permanent brand. It's easy to get tied down on a name, but if I can't make it profitable it's not going anywhere.

    £0.90 = $1.41. You sure they're cheaper in staples? Here's Staples prices in the UK [1] - £3.99 for a box of the wrong size, but roughly the same volume. And ours are printed for £0.90. [1]: http://www.staples.co.uk/office-supplies/ship
