Sounds like someone is bitter he didn't get an iPhone and all his rich friends did... Just kidding. I agree with your point. It's well documented that humans get psychological satisfaction out of having more and better stuff than those arou

Hate to say it... but this lady appears to be older (at 107). Funny, I just saw this the other day. http://www.aol.in/news/story/2007083106139026000006/

If you look around on the site there is free software to turn a linux or mac box with a free wifi card into a hotspot (with simple TUN/TAP). If the new linksys routers weren't so crippled compared to the good old WRT54G V4, you could probab

I recently got this: http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=... I like it so far. The split nature makes you type correctly (hitting the T with your right hand is quite a stretch otherwise) and the angle is very relax

From what I read, the legal environment in your place of incorporation matters as much as, if not more than, the tax rate. So many companies incorporate in Delaware because it has extremely detailed corporate case law history (and separate

Not trying to spam my blog or anything (I haven't made a cent yet off it anyway), but I am fed up with AT&T misleading people so I thought I'd tell others what I found out about this.

Funny you should mention Lawrence and Austin in the same post. As a current resident of Lawrence, I can attest that this would be a great town to start a startup in, but there seems a definite lack of interest from the CS grads. Everyone se

Yeah, I figured that might be the reaction, but to use an idea of Warren Buffet's, YC News has a natural competition 'moat' in that it's backed by YC itself... why would you go to another startup news site? Unless Sequoia starts it's own ne

I was thinking along the same lines. The whole argument reads like one of those anti-piracy commercials we see before movie previews... think of the poor starving artist! (Don't think about the reason he is starving, which is that the publi

Sorry to shamelessly link to my own blog, but I wrote this to motivate myself a bit, and thought maybe someone else would find it motivational. I'm about to quit my job for a few months of living off savings, and it's a bit scary for me.

No... crazy names are Web 2.0ish anyway... so just think of a weird way to spell it, or make up a word. Both those strategies worked out fine for Yahoo and Google. Closer to home, I imagine this was the strategy employed by Loopt and scribd
