How much time are you spending on the marketing aspect of Yonkly? If you aren't and started spending an hour or two a day -- seriously attacking it, you might be able to get ramen profitable quickly. For instance, the site doesn't quickly d

And refrigerators will never replace the icebox. "Planning on dying soon"? What if you are in an accidents? I'd say it's being responsible and being prepared. Like having a will. You've never thought that you'd like to send out an email or

What you are seeing is "drive by committee" that is so cancerous in companies. Are you seriously telling me that not one soul at Apple has thought, "Well, silly us, we are making enough money that we can regularly run AppStore commercials o

So what is my tax rate if I go from $249,999 to $250,000? How much money in real dollars do I lose when I earn a buck more to make it to a quarter million?

Agreed -- and then gave suggestions below. Perfect! I immediately started coming up with ways I could use it on a couple projects I'm working on. I hope all purveyors of webapps will use this as a shining example of a demo well done.

Very cool. Try clicking on one of the fonts, it'll replace the one you are using on top!

I think it's very very cool of Google to allow apps in their system for free as long as they stay below a specific threshold. There is no excuse now not to rapidly prototype apps and throw them out there.

I think it's in Microsoft's best interests to build a browser at this level. You just can't get the performance you need for some applications through the proxy of a browser. Sometimes you just need to touch the metal.

Yep, it only takes a second to do, too. Definitely consider this strategy.

Me, too. And congratulations -- finding a 100% increase lurking on your site is pretty huge. I hope you find more. And make sure you let us know about 'em!

Bringing in someone who doesn't have years of experience is going to bite you later on. (I say this from experience: I was co-founder of a tech company in '99 and I simply didn't have the experience to build the foundation cleanly.) These f

How many CEOs do you know that would even consider doing something similar? I'm going with very, very few. The vast are too calculating. ("What if someone takes a picture of me doing this? How will it affect how other people see me? Am I sh

I'm all for this, too -- but pg doesn't like the Metafilter community, which uses this model.

Are canvas drawn apps going to be the launching point for Web 3.0? I'm really amazed at the performance. This is Javascript, drawing characters pixel-by-pixel? Whoa.

I'm sure the day will come when RMDBs will be a distant memory, but sometimes it so comforting to open a database and see all the data in pretty columns and rows.

The big question I have is this: how did they insure that cashers returned the money to the core group? If you walked out with a fistful of cash, what would motivate you to give most (some?) of it back? The promise of more money in the futu

Great question, hopefully our Hackers in Japan can give us some insight. It'll be interesting to see if the US will begin to parallel this change.

Out of general curiosity, why doesn't a OS like this focus on being a VM-only OS? If they went this route, they wouldn't need to worry about driver hell, right? And god knows I'm not going to give up my core OS anytime soon for a toy OS. Bu

I think we are still piling feathers on the camel's back. Americans are also very unused to rioting, in general. It isn't part of their consciousness yet. And I think it's ineffective to compare this to 1929. It certainly won't be exactly

I'd suggest that if someone loves this concept -- a meta-service that works between service and client might be very useful. Similar to FeedBurner. Users would have a central location they could add their hook urls to. (Drop-down: service/m

It is now a crime to do a paid review for someone? If so, can you point me to the law stating this? If not, then you are making a big assumption and could hurt someone's business by blasting all over the internet "just how morally corrupt t

My wheel may not fit your hub. While I agree that rebuilding systems is a bad idea, it's also very difficult to get every square peg to fit in the square holes we intend to put them in. One of the bigger problems that could be solved now --
