"We may not be the next twitter or linkedin, but we think we can get pretty close." That's not a great mindset. It might be honest, but not great to write on your company blog.

I don't really get it. So it's a very big database of music metadata, where apps can pull information from, but it doesn't include the actual music. So if Pandora is a transistor radio, then The Echo Nest is a big encyclopedia. And in my wo

I like the idea, but I don't think it would work. Let's look at the aspects of a Hackathon: - People might not like it, but part of hackathons is the social side: meeting hackers and other like-minded people. Meeting them online you can do

I like the idea! Some of those days I've already got other stuff booked in, but luckily I've already started working on The Next Big Thing ( cough ). Those days are perfect though to get a lot of stuff done.

I like the idea, but you should be able to remove people from the map. There's always that funny guy in your friend list who fills in Timbuktu as the place they're living in.

Bill Gates. Seems like a much easier guy to get along with, and eventhough Steve Jobs's vision and ideas are great, it doesn't really make sense to hire someone for the vision: you should have that yourself.

I wouldn't say induction cooking is a no-brainer, not everybody likes it. I rather cook on a gas stove.

I'd definitely put in ethernet. But maybe there's some way you can wire everything through 1" PVC pipes, so it's relatively easy to replace it. For Wireless music you can also using Apple's Airport Express? I don't know how expensive solar

This doesn't take your market into account. For example, my Dutch debit card isn't compatible with international credit-card numbers. My paypal-account is directly connected to my bank account (direct debit), so it practically works like a
