Not just that. Healthcare has so many players that all need to be pleased to make anything happen. It's complicated because the payer and customer are different, unlike most other industries.

The title is misleading. Wal-Mart can't fix US healthcare. But Wal-Mart can make big inroads into fixing prescription drug access. But there are so many problems in healthcare that Wal-Mart isn't positioned at all to fix. Tens of millio

Maybe it's just me, but I actually do tend to associate usernames with comments, at least for the frequent commenters like edw519.

No, I think that 25% of the pledged tips are actually paid.

Nice to see this just a day or two after all the "TipJoy is dead" proclamations. There's no question that micropayments are going to be huge when someone gets it right. The only thing is, can Tipjoy actually get people to pay?

Jobs is not the "builder" in any technical sense of the word. But he's a brilliant entrepreneur nonetheless.

If you think there's really a need for it, start one yourself and apply to YC with it.

Completely agree, but I'm refraining from upmodding you because it would surely be ironic if this becomes the top comment, instead of some real discussion on pursuing our dreams!

Good, but I think you can do better. I got a Dell with the identical specs (plus Windows) 2 years ago for $700 and change (incl shipping). The time value of those two years makes me think you can get better specs for this price.

Yeah, you can get a great Dell for really cheap. They now come preinstalled with Ubuntu ( http://dell.com/ubuntu ), so you don't have to pay for Windoze.

Google has a challenge on its hands. With lifehacker declaring "Score one, Microsoft" for Live Search's Cashback program over Google Product Search, and Yahoo! search opening up to developers, I don't recall Google's supremacy being challe

I know Lightspeed and Highland are VCs that have incubator programs, but neither of them takes any equity for it.

I have a GrandCentral account, but I can't figure out how to send an invite. There doesn't seem to be a link when you login ...

GrandCentral (grandcentral.com) allows you to get a second number that can forward to any phone, and you can selectively forward, block numbers, and use a whole host of other features. Brring! (brring.com) allows you to get a second number

I hope more startups do this. As PG wrote in one of his essays, if you can figure out a lot of possible ways to die, and avoid them all, you'll probably succeed

Funny, I had quite the opposite problem. I installed Gutsy and my wireless card worked out of the box, no config needed. But right after upgrading to Hardy, Ubuntu didn't recognize my wireless card. I agree with the article; Hardy isn't q

I don't see why this is such a big deal. Scaling by a factor of 2 doesn't make any of the math lose it's beauty. The underlying math is still the same. Calling 30 minutes "an hour" doesn't make time go faster. It's all semantics, really

Exactly. Random Google searches aren't the way to attract people to such conferences. But an invitation from a friend with similar interests also attending the conference is! facebook 1, Google 0. If you think about it, what is Goog

Could programmers be developing an interest in something beyond the size of the installed base? You mean, like developing something that they think is cool? Are programmers even allowed to do that?? But any increase in Mac and Linux dev
