He edited that post after you posted this comment, it seems. It now reads "Currently I'm developing a prototype and then move into development. A MacOSX app is going to be the first release."

Wow. I'm happy for the team, but disappointed that they're shutting down the product. We used Thinkfuse for internal team status reports, and it really helped facilitate communication at our company. Anyone know of an alternative?

It's not child porn. It's a top YouTube video (162 million views, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgr6MoXufU ) of a baby accidentally kicking her dad in the balls while they sit on a bed together.

Have you ever raised large amounts of funding? (I see you have a $45k seed on your current company) A month has been pretty standard in my experience, even raising larger (A) rounds. Fundraising is a big drain on founding team bandwidth, so

Public services weren't leaving the streets dirty because they were lazy, they were leaving the streets dirty because they were rationing water due to drought...

Uh, yeah, the guy doing suing is the original creator of LSL. He wouldn't sue his own project.

This is now the 2nd, 3rd time that Bitcoinica has been hacked? People warned of this when it was first announced—a financial platform created by a lone teenager in China [1] is obvious going to be a target for high profile attacks. The site

Uh, he's not talking about all of Pastie's users, he's stating that Pastie has some bad users who use it maliciously and threaten the provider.

What you describe is contradictory. The default iOS design elements are there precisely to serve as a sort of "Bootstrap" for iOS applications. Everything 'looks the same' because so many people use the (good) defaults, just like how most B

The whole lot more is sometimes the problem. Pricenomics does one thing well. On your site, the main call to action is to post something I've bought. Why would I want to do that? I also couldn't actually figure out how to search for an item

I'm pretty sure you just made that up. EDIT : Nevermind, you just took it from http://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/s97g4/banned_fro... , an obvious reddit troll.

There's some fairly silly competition between tech blogs. You can see from some of Sarah Lacy's tweets ( https://twitter.com/#!/sarahcuda/status/189224285204783104 ) that PandoDaily and TechCrunch don't see eye to eye at all. Arrington has

I work in at an "Airbnb for X" company. We happen to do car sharing, not dog sharing, which means there's a little more technology involved, but $3M for any company isn't much. There's a huge amount of operations involved in making any peer

YouTube just recently turned profitable in the last two years. It was hugely unprofitable with an unproven business model at the scale at which it was bought.

Fun party, eh? :) Also, I think your analysis is spot on. Another way to look at this is that perfection often kills products—people stress so much over getting every single detail right that they never ship, or fail to execute on the overa

Really confusing title. Searchify is hitting a million queries a day to their own API, and also selling themselves as an IndexTank replacement (since IndexTank is shutting down.) Your title makes it seem like there's an IndexTank Search API

I don't think you need to be worried about it being free. It's not actually free for everyone, I'd assume. The fact that they let you put a badge on your page to get "4x more views" makes me believe they're going to price it similarly to ho

Incredibly skeptical. Red flags: 1. He's received criticism about his videos before, but still insists on filming in random parks, only releasing to press after the event, and using blurry/shaky footage. 2. When he takes off, the camera sha

I think they assumed that most people who'd be donating to the cause already were aware about SOPA, and Lamar Smith (the representative who sponsored SOPA.) Maybe a faulty assumption!

I agree with you. Markdown is meant to be very straightforward and simple, especially since it can be augmented with HTML. MultiMarkdown[1] and GFM[2] exist as variants of Markdown that can do much more, for those who want more... and I'm s

Are you typing "own" instead of "owe"? Why? Also—"people offering" you something doesn't mean it wasn't "forcibly taken." All pirated material, movies, etc are forcibly taken by someone . They're ripped from DVDs, captured from telecasts

There is no 'suspected Techcrunch fund'. There's a fund created by the founder of TechCrunch, Michael Arrington, named the CrunchFund. (It's a kind of unfortunate name, since it does tie people's minds to TechCrunch.) Michael Arrington isn'

Google's currently doing a similar thing with their new Customer Insights—on sites like ZAGAT.com, instead of seeing a paywall, the user is asked to answer a survey question.
