Building a successful startup hub in most cities is extremely difficult. That certifiable, go-to “hero” as mentioned in the article just doesn’t exist in most places. In fact, if our standard of hero is Ron Conway or Fred Wilson, the rest

We just invited a bunch of new users onto our site earlier tonight and I freaked out thinking they broke our server, until I saw this :)

I don't see how this can work... yet. Right now, even with broadband internet connections, players consistently experience game-ruining latency, and that is sending magnitudes less information. I seriously doubt that OnLive could work in th

Right now, the main problem with Facebook's message feature is that it is only available to friends as you addressed. You won't want to unfriend somebody because they post too much; if you unfriend, you also lose access to their photos, co

This is beyond ludicrous. Buttons and joypads can't simply be plastered onto the touch screen; controls have to be tactile or else you will make mistakes. When I misspell a word typing I can just go back and erase. When the game mistakes

A simple first step would be to talk to a security expert locally in your area. In my area (Cleveland, OH) there is a group that will test your security for free and give you pointers on what to change.

TC might be getting a bit excited here. Loopt could just be receiving a bounce from the Apple commercial...

Two small things I found: 1) The javascript scrolling for the top articles is not always reliable; I was able to break it by clicking furiously. Also, the scrolling can be distacting; I would vote for a simple hide and appear, along with a
