Oh yeah, absolutely agree but perhaps that's why having a biz cofounder helps, someone that can step back and make macro decisions

He's right, you know. I was talking to a technical founder the other day, and we were laughing about how the best thing right now would be to have a boss that is not yourself. Someone who would make all the decisions about what you should d

Yeah, making "them come" is almost as hard as building a product that will keep them coming back...

How did you get enough folks to sign up (without any prior announcement) to get reputation data for hundreds of thousands of folks? Just from sending it out to friends?

Wow. They could, foreseeably, do away with the home button now. Multi-touch is fascinating, until it becomes non-intuitive and too complicated...

Because it is an interesting UI/X innovation? And as the other poster said there's quite a few apple users on HN who would appreciate the info (I know I did)

Not sure what you mean? Because the guy who runs hn-books adds an affiliate code to amzn? (this is what the book url expands to: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596518862?ie=UTF8&tag=... ) EDIT: The first line on the homepage states

Between iTunes and Netflix, why are people still using physical media? * Cost? (Not all of Netflix is streaming and non-streaming iTunes content is between $0.99 and $4.99 on an AppleTV that's $99) * Convenience? (I can't imagine anything b

I wonder if this could've happened outside the Bay Area though. This is part of the reason the area works so well as a hub, because it really does maximize serendipity of the life-changing kind, since almost everyone in the area has been in

Interesting. Does anyone know how many options a newbie engineer gets at Facebook? at $50B, 0.1% of the company == $50M and 0.01% = $5M not a bad payout vesting over four years, when the stock is probably going to go up... no wonder Google

Local advertising will be as big (if not bigger) than AdWords, ergo Groupon is the new Google. No wonder they turned them down.

I suppose this speaks to Apple's need for secrecy too, stealth and secrecy mostly seem overrated but if you're going to disrupt a huge market, they can be pretty powerful in making entrenched competitors believe that certain things are impo

Nifty, but this seems like plugin overkill. I just use matchit ( http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=39 ) and then I can do v% to visually select everything to the end of a block.

Or, because of their ability to copy another existing site, and having the business savvy and relationships to sell it for a huge sum. Having a successful startup is a lot more than the tech behind it or the product itself, right? I mean, y

Talent acquisition? Tony's a seasoned entrepreneur and he built a pretty good team, that's worth the price. EDIT: Also, if 20mm AOL users now have an about.me profile that can become a huge part of AOL's push into social, that would be wort
