Whatever you do, if you get traction you are king. If you don't no matter how much coverage you get you will go down. The only precursor for traction are users, tech blog coverage wont do anything about it: even consumer gadget blogs are ni

You either have tons of funding or tons of talent: SV has both which is why it's the center of the IT universe. NYC has more funding than engineers, and all other hubs are either a mix of both or have a serious deficit in one side (or even

"the Excite 7.7 will start at $499.99" Wasn't Asus going to launch a 7 inch tablet with Tegra3 for $250? If that's the case Toshiba is borked, big time.

Good luck with that: the great firewall of China doesn't works, you don't need to be a hacker to punch a hole through that POS system and the Iranians don't even have the manpower to make a firewall like that so whatever they do will be eve

Considering less than 1% of the price of an iPhone or iPad "stays" in China as the cost of assembly, moving all production back to the US for that 1% seems ridiculous. In any case you guys should concentrate in the 30% (or so) of the price

I get the point, but there's another side to this: 9 out of 10 of all startups out there are a business method, they don't need 10x engineers to build new technologies, and what they want can be done by a freelancer using a CMS and some elb

I'm really looking forward to FOLEDs and other similar technologies, but then again I think the main problem is that nobody (as far as I know) has solved the normal wear problem. Sure there are demos where they hit on of these film/screens

Point taken, but I (and many others) count the Windows, Office(business) and Server division as a whole since it's all connected/dependent of the Windows OS's huge market share. Also mind I'm considering the vast deficit left by the devices

I see some insurmountable contradictions with this program. They ask for solutions to some very complex problems yet give very little funds to do so. For that amount the most a startup can do is come up with the principles for a potentially
