I agree that "simple" is a lot less significant in pg's approach. 37signals touts that Basecamp was done in 10 hours a week, whereas pg's approach seems a lot more intense and arduous. 37signals believes that you don't need to overwork your

Don't you have to be online for receive the responses? If so, it's kinda silly if the person doesn't respond immediately

I think Apple is okay with Creative Zen owners not buying MP3s from them. They're only targeting iPhone/iPod owners, which has by far the largest market share. The trouble of getting the iTunes store onto the web ( http://news.ycombinator.c

I'm glad the mobile platform is taking off (hopefully much faster now that the App Store was just opened!). The mobile web has been underwhelming for far too long. Good to see something with so much potential finally taking off.

True, but I feel there are better approached to include both. Does anyone who has knowledge of the iPhone SDK know if you can make a regular window scroll? That would allow the "Latest Trips" to be slightly below everything, so its a quick

I agree. Some of the people who commented have very valid points, yet he disregards them. Seems very prideful and stubborn.

True enough. But yeah, definitely should've been a followup, one without the password to the account.

I can't imagine anyone acting upon that email. It made no sense whatsoever. Might as well as "password, please give me at marko.blah@yahoo.com" That's ridiculous.

It worked, no? That's not their main point, but it never hurts to market a bit. Sneaky little bastards.

I feel like a part of it is warranted. It's great to see people of different age levels be able to talk to each other and have good conversations, all due to the accessibility of the internet. People from across the world could have great i

Why can't they allow you to add in these features if you want these features? There's no reason why the users should be forced to install all these bloaty features.

What's interesting about this is that people are still using dialup! Did a quick Google search ... "10 percent of U.S. Internet users on dial-up"

That's surprising (but great news!) that your IE6 visitors are that low. I agree, I'd imagine they have comparable numbers to make a decision like this. It'd be interesting info to know (anyone from 37signals out there? ;)

Thats a big win that they open sourced it! I don't know that it was a money issue. I feel like many of their products don't have a business model, per se. I just feel like it wasn't important enough to have developer cycles spent on it.

I totally agree, except the date one. I feel like many people don't take the time to make their URLs look good. I do like when I can go to /2008/06 and see all the posts from June. Here's some more interesting reading on URL design: http:/

Now they just have to find a way to make money and stop operating at a loss :) I agree, though. Getting a stake in it isn't just about the money. They both (microsoft and facebook) have powerful allies .
