How do you find the time to do all of these angel deals while working full-time (presumably) at Google? Can you give a rough estimate of the amount of time/effort that goes into investing?

This is actually considered a good sales number? Making $30 a day? Or actually less, I guess, since I assume the Android market takes a cut?

Fair enough. But I implore all of you at facebook to make your feelings known to your higher-ups (if you feel, like many of the rest of us on HN, that something bad's happening). These kind of decisions generally only go in one direction, a

I know we have several HN users who work at facebook. Do they: 1. Not care? 2. Not see this happening? 3. Not see anything wrong? 4. Can't do anything? 5. Know the "truth," which is substantially different than that being reported? It seems

Yes, there is no contest -- Starcraft is by far the better game. Everything about it is better. The other difference is Koreans. They rule at SC.

Ebert really gets it. How often will you find someone from the Old Guard so excited about the new usurpers of the throne? This really is a golden age for critics -- of all disciplines.

There's some exciting work being done in our lab with a "coded" rolling shutter, where you change the readout times on individual rows to give you better pictures or videos -- high dynamic range, super-fast capture, etc. There's no project

Presumably one of the most important initiatives at Google outside of search has got to be Google Docs. Having a platform for people to create and edit documents on the web has to have been seen as a critical feature. Why? It's not at all

Yes, games are great, and art, and Ebert's wrong about them. But I think you're unfairly judging (and berating) Ebert about much of the other stuff. He's actually remarkably on top of things considering both his age (67) and his status (can

There's another factor: rules seem to apply non-uniformly. This is most pronounced when an app by an small-time developer is rejected, but a very similar app from a major publisher (EA, Playboy, etc.) is accepted. If this is what Apple want
