I knew this guy in college who would tell us he was sending and receiving texts to/from "hot chicks" he was trying "to get with" or that he had already "gotten with." Another friend later found out he was actually sending texts to his bank

They recently added a second lesson. But I agree, the level of content is not sufficient yet. I was more suggesting that they use it as a resource for learning the very basics and then move on.

Codecademy is pretty awesome if you really want to start with the very basics. The lessons they have so far cover Javascript, but the features they teach you span most languages. http://codecademy.com When I started out, though, I had a c

Adding two huge features like your own URL shortener and a photo sharing service is looking for things you "can edit out?" Even when the market is flooded with third-party services that do the exact same things? Color me skeptical.

Digg comes to mind as a watered-down competitor, though I stopped using Digg altogether after the #DiggRevolt and subsequent exodus of their user-base.

The author's advice about filling out incubator forms is spot-on. I've found that completing a mock-application is extremely useful in organizing my thoughts and identifying the strengths and weaknesses of my ideas. That point also feeds in

The original letter emphasized that RIM is too corporate and that that's stifling innovation and progress at the company. So what does RIM do? Fire off a press release that extols the virtues of and attempts to justify that bureaucracy. /Fa

I think the option of having an opt-in Google Authenticator-like service within Dropbox would be extremely useful. I would definitely use something like that.

I understand that subscriptions are required for the best features of these services - my point was merely that I would rather pay to have access to my own library from anywhere than a semi-complete library that I can't control. I listen to

I kind of wonder about the relevance of Spotify in the current market - with locker offerings from Google and Amazon (and forthcoming from Apple), it seems like the need for services like Spotify (for me, at least) is dwindling. Spotify was

Ok to contact you directly about these positions? I'm new to the whole Who's Hiring thing, so I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is.
