Well, is this any surprise? Not really. Merely a consequence of the Hecksher-Ohlin international trade model. Under relatively free trade (free of tariffs, etc) of software, real wages paid to software engineers should equalize across cou

It will speed up OpenOffice's launch from 15 to 7 seconds. "Modern machines will probably beat the raw timing of these numbers in even cold-start times" (my machine takes 10 secs to load OpenOffice) So the improvement will be even less than

There are a bunch of these coming up. In addition to the ones in the article, a couple on angels in Philly put together DreamIt Ventures. Hats off to YC for starting it all.

I'm a little skeptical of Google Health. If a patient doesn't even remember to take their medicine, how do you expect them to go update their medical record? I think this will only catch on for a small subset of active patients.

i agree with the article -- first mover advantage only carries you once in a blue moon. The biggest successes today were nowhere near the first ones, they just did it better. Google came YEARS after yahoo, lycos, alta vista, and facebook
