Absolutely, I couldn't agree more - the devious way they've tried to manipulate this whole situation, I would honestly be shocked if normal victims (i.e. people who don't have the energy and determination that EJ did) ever got to see a cent

Okay, so, it's a major u-turn, so major that they're now denying they even ever had the previous policy of simply denying all responsibility. But the past is the past and the $50,000 is, well, $50,000 more reassurance than their users had b

I understand where Corin is coming from but his well-meaning advice completely misses the potential. The question "Explain why Justin Bieber is popular" and the answer "because teenage girls exist" are both BRILLIANT - the fact that Corin

As crazy as it sounds, ideas like this might be necessary to save America from completely trashing its own economy and position in the world. If putting innovators on boats 24 miles of the coast is what it takes to maintain America's innova

I was going set up a startup to serve the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome community but, somehow, I never got around to it.

You know, I am no cheerleader for Michael Arrington, we've certainly banged heads a few times in comment threads (it's a fun way to spend an evening) but what Paul Graham is doing here is pretty cynical: Once it became clear yesterday that

This doesn't surprise me in the least, Appsumo is a pretty scummy operation, regardless of how much PR effort they put into cultivating the HN audience.

I only wish I could be suspended! My profile has been "under review" for over THREE WEEKS, meaning that my profile is invisible to others and I am unable to do anything with my Google+ account, not even make comments, until some notional hu

Getting ready for Lion? They should have got ready for BBEdit 10. Adding actual features at any point in the past five years would have been good. Textmate is the saddest example of abandonware, Allan Odgaard has thrown away an army of loya

I actually returned from a week in Berlin just a few days ago, and I was specifically there to investigate whether it would be a good place to base my startup. Just to be clear, I very much WANTED the city to live up to it's hype but it has

One of the Appsumo deals I signed up for was, absolutely, a scam. My advice would be to only sign up for these offers if you won't be upset if some of the vendors refuse to honor the text of their offer, just assume that some will pull a ba

The headline is completely incorrect - Wikipedia does NOT say that "Apple has not made any significant donations to charity since 1997". What it actually says is: "Jobs has not reinstated a philanthropic division at Apple." So, he hasn't hi
