Who are you to say that lifestyle businesses are not focused on growth? Or that they cant' grow fast and change large numbers of people's lives? A basic principle of finance is that you can either reinvest profits into your business, to p

You're definitely right. Like I said in my first post post, Jobs shouldn't be above the law just because he is valuable to Apple. But try to punish the cheaters, not those who are being cheated. Don't fine the company - fine and/or jail t

you're more motivated to shut up that way. You're not asking them to shut up. You're asking them to stop stealing from the shareholders. That's what options backdating is - stealing from the company's shareholders. And by fining companie

You're right, by removing Jobs the SEC would be punishing the very people they claim to protect - the shareholders. However, the SEC doesn't seem to have a problem with this. After all, the massive fines they levy against companies (reduc

Yup, well there were two bedrooms, and our servers got the larger. The room we slept in could barely fit a bunk bed and twin bed (which is what we did). Regardless, we had such different schedules, it didn't really matter. Usually when on

Good points, however I think once the novelty of justin.tv wears of, viewers will stray. That already seems to be happening. But that's OK for justin - because their business model is to sell this solution to others, and they've already pr

The results are pretty much predictable though. Not at all. Almost every demand curve is downward sloping, yes, but that doesn't mean every demand curve is the same. If Joel's graph is accurate, and the Y axis starts at 0, this demand cu

A good way to start is to find some templates on http://oswd.org & modify them. Then, once you can swing it, start building stuff from scratch. Oh and find a copy of photoshop or a comparable graphics program. Gimp is good (and free), b

For many database applications, I don't think the transfer rate matters that much. Regardless, the DDR-ram solid state solutions have faster transfer rates than a 4 drive raid0. The only drawback is that they cost about $100 per GB. Oh, a

Want an example of "simple but less reliable"? Here's one (in one or two easy steps): 1. All updates go in to memcached, but not the database 2. (optional) A background process occasionally copies entries from memcached to the db. Withou

Good point. Knowing Apple, I also have a feeling they'll come up with some innovative solutions to the no-number-pad problem. Some ideas: - Automatically complete phone numbers, as you dial them - Spotlight-type search for contacts. I.e,

Nice software - but $79 seems a little pricey. I'm not yet convinced the features justify the $30 markup over textmate.

Congrats to Daniel & Jason, that's great news. From how you described the idea at Startup School, it sounds like you guys have a lot of potential. Remember, this isn't a 3 month summer program, it's the start of a journey. Never relent,

If you haven't tried OpenDNS, it's worth checking out. They takes an old, boring technology and make it faster & more useable. David Ulevitch, the guy behind it, also runs everydns.net. That's worth checking out too, if you run a server.
