In my day (I'm only 32), the startup ideas everyone always wanted to do were: 1. A better bug/issue tracking system 2. A custom CMS 3. A code library/platform for easily building Business CRUD apps. 4. A word processing app that has only th

It sounds like there's a disconnect between the questions you're asking and the problem you're experiencing. In fact, there's three separate things you address in your post. 1. When Facebook acquires a startup, how do they get the employees

Netbook generally isn't about form factor, it's about use factor. A netbook is made for lightweight browsing, emailing, IM'ing, etc. You know, stuff on the 'net. The new MBA falls into the class of devices known as ultraportables. It's a

My dream MBP is that they drop the optical drive completely, install 128GB of flash for a system drive like the new Airs, and then have an optional 500GB data drive for those who need the additional space. Then they can use all the saved s

I'd expect a sly wink of a response that would serve as cover. Something like, "I've seen that website before, but I can't comment on whether they're the ones who contacted me."

TRIM. Even if that's the only new feature in 10.7, I'll be ponying my money up for it. I completely love the SSD in my MBP, but the occasional stuttering does get annoying at times.

I do all my reading from the Kindle App on the iPad, which does not allow in-app purchasing of books. So that's where I grabbed my workflow from. I do understand it's easier if buying from an actual Kindle device.

I experienced the same letdown. I was super excited that I'd be able to start reading books at work (the Kindle PC App is "unapproved" software). Still, I guess it is nice to be able to preview books right away instead of having to go thro

Go ahead and accept the challenge. You don't have to shell out the $25 until you're actually ready to post to the app store. So go for it! The only thing you have to lose is a bunch of time and your self respect if you fail!
