Nice - it's really fast - what are you using on the back end?

The most surprising fact was that Android is 80% of iOS revenue - that's a LOT better than I would have expected and had previously thought about the android market.

Getting a little tired of "former entrepreneur" professors like Steve and Vivek playing the wet blanket in tech. It's too easy to be negative, especially with the first dot-com bubble so fresh in our minds. It's a lot harder, and more rig

Amazing. This would be so useful in the morning - read stuff on your computer, take it on your phone on the bus/subway to continue reading, and then throw it up on your screen at work. They should call it "torch" or something like that -

Interesting list, I'd be interested to see what other "stacks" companies are running on.

There's probably a lesson in here somewhere about letting development on any software drag on for so long. At a certain point you have to just kill it and move on with your life. I hope we at least get a case study out of it.

What's wrong with saying that? I'm just commenting that it's fascinating to see what they are coming up with. Obviously it's just an idea, but if there actually was a show or documentary or something, it would help them get there message

nvm, I misread - they're only talking about subdomains and not the primary domain

They should update their dev center docs with this! I just followed their own instructions to set up DNS, which are to put in the IP addresses rather than the proxy. Kinda funny this came up right after I did it.

Bezos explicitly said it in this letter - he expects all of this stuff to make the company gobs of money in the future. For a lot of the stuff Google spends money on, I don't think investors are necessarily very confident that it will have

Good point - maybe this is just the greatest recruiting tactic ever.

TC must just be bitter that Jason's Launch conference last week was so good, whereas their Disrupt events have been lackluster.

I certainly think so - I'm in the process of quitting my job to work on a company, and the health insurance will be my biggest expense other than rent and food. If it was more affordable, I could survive a lot longer without running out of

Clearly, the main benefit of using those microprocessors is that you get to say that you are "dropping Atom bombs."

Google really should answer to the question why all of these other sites got knocked down but not Demand Media - aren't they the worst offender of all? I'm not sure I agree with the theory that it was their PR that did it. Putting on my t

This reminds me of how everyone used to criticize Twitter because they thought it was just people tweeting about the mundane details of their lives. We are still very early in the location space and most of the more compelling potential us

The only person I'd call eccentric in this group is Steve Jobs. The others seem pretty normal. The tech industry could probably benefit from a few more truly crazy thinkers, people like Steve and maybe Ted Turner.

I try not to, but I think subconsciously that slight inconvenience caused by weird cards has to register somewhere. I'm sure people perceive them differently, but to me an odd card is more centered on the giver than the receiver, even thou

Yeah the best thing to do would be to 50/50 test the email to measure the true impact. But I think the conclusion that "See it" is better than "Buy Now" is certainly reasonable. The first thing I thought when I saw the two images was about

Thanks. DC is an interesting one, you don't hear it mentioned very often.

I like what MySpace has done recently. They have made a major change in direction, and this is agreement is simply another acknowledgement of it. "Surrender" implies that MySpace is at war with Facebook, and that is not longer the case -

My question from this was, if you shouldn't be in Silicon Valley or NYC and choose a different city, how does that affect your ability to raise money? And what does it cost to give up some of the community/cross-pollination effect that goe

Wow! Amazon is absolutely killing it. I wonder if this will be the inflection point when GPU computing really takes off.

I would recommend against getting abnormally-sized cards like this. After collecting cards from a group of people, it's annoying to have these stragglers swimming around in your pocket that don't really fit with the rest. I'd rather have
