When I was younger and played games I always thought that it'd be nice to make a game that isn't about killing, instead it should be about building stuff. I also thought that it'd be nice if it'd be as general as possible, so you can build

A relative recently purchased a Samsung WP7 phone. I was highly skeptical until I spent a few minutes playing around with it. The UX experience (design, speed) was about as smooth as my iPhone, smoother than Android devices I've played with

When I talk about shares/options, I am serious. I am not trying to con you to be a low-paid slave. I want to share our prosperity and success with you when the time comes. Does this mean employees get stock options, or are they promised t

How do you want to compete with Evernote? It's available as a web app, native apps for iOS, MacOS, Windows (all my platforms, also Android, Windows Phone, Blackberry), and it works great on all platforms. It syncs so I have native access ev

When you write an async. server in C++, where you can't inline functions, you write functions like OnRead(), OnWrite(), etc. Once you get used to it the whole thing ends up fairly easy to read and understand. Eg. https://github.com/scalien

When I purchase something on Amazon and GoDaddy, I usually spend 3 minutes to google a coupon to save $5. It feels good.

I'm wondering whether it would be possible, with access to Google search data, to statistically find areas ripe for demand harvesting (eg. people search for X and can't find it).

This thread is freaking me out =) So you start a company and you're not supposed to care about money nor buzz? So how do you measure success? The answer for a for-profit company must ultimately be money.

Compiler != IDE. I don't know much about the WYSIWYG parts of VS, I only write textual code. If your machine is too slow, get more RAM and an SSD. It's your daily tool, it's worth the investment. "I don't think the IDE makes a difference" -

I don't know much about current 3D graphics technology, but the fact that they're trying to disrupt it is really cool. They remind me of a crazy inventor, let's hope they got something =)

The value in the Silicon Valley startup model this article seems to miss (and bash) is that it's there. With programs like YC, VC firms and plenty of prior startup examples (data), potential entrepreneurs (and also investors) can get a good

It's actually a very good submission. I didn't know Leopard had all these neat features. Now I want to upgrade. I also have a Windows box, and I wouldn't mind a similar SE about Win7 niceties, and of course Win7 having such niceties...

Yes, consultants make more, but I'm under the impression that most consultants can't fill 8 (or more) hours a day?

Great post. Calls attention to the importance of having clean, stable commits in the 'master' branch and thus avoiding plain vanilla 'git merge' for 'squash' and 'rebase'. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2427238/in-git-what-is-th...

So you're saying startups should be A/B testing their coming soon landing pages. That sounds like good advice. I'd be surprised if that feature were not on the todo list of the LaunchRock guys...

I'm not sure I follow. How can getting (for free) a long list of people who may be interested in the product once it launches be a bad thing? I think the OP's main point is that instead of having a landing page you should be concentrating o

This reminds me of Paypal, where the founders said they won the online payments game because they figured out how to deal with fraud. Maybe that's one of the keys to success here, figuring out how to deal with these cases at the business pl

Yes, the emotional attachment that founders have with their startups is pretty crazy. I think that rational founders learn to normalize it over the years though, at least that's what happened to me. Criticism sucks, but with a company like
