I agree, it's written as if the iPhone 4S was developed since Steve left, when in reality he would have been a major cog in the device. Tim Cook has done so much, he was CEO of Apple while steve was away before and the company was fine. Rel

Just having a Hacker News meetup has helped London a lot i'd say, it's helped me find like minded people as I found there were a lot of 'old business' and finance folks going to the events that weren't designed for what they wanted to do in

Samsung previously said they would try this the moment it was released so far from a surprise. Big waste in time and money.

I showed my friends the iPhone 4S today without mentioning how some people online are disappointed and they loved it, they aren't geeks and were part of the group that said the iPad was useless and just a big iPod. Most of the UK news outle

Great way to put it, definitely not next generation but that wasn't to be expected. I don't know why it was a shock to many. I still plan to get it as i'd like to switch back to iOS. I felt the iPod's didn't fit in at all, they could have j

Right, what I thought. Personally it was just the structure for me. A lot of time spent on small features, not sure why iPods were included either.

If you're a single co-founder you'll likely be set up with one or someone from another startup (if they fail). Of course getting in is much harder as a single founder. So be honest, are you open to having a co-founder? mention it.

I would say if you're going for a pro then go for the 15" MBP, you get the full resolution display which is great for design and feels much more comfortable. I'm using one now. Especially the trackpad and screen size. On the 13" i'd go with

Thanks for writing this. Glad you've cleared up some of the questions I hear a lot. I've seen a lot of posts which claim to have some kind of template to get in, which doesn't make any sense in my opinion.

PhoneGap and Typekit in one day? Two services I love. I see the TypeKit purchase but not exactly this. Because it's well out of what Adobe does, I envision them turning it into some kind of full premium application which would really deter

I want Stripe for my startup. Paypal has caused huge problems for us, as we sell in 24 hour periods we get an influx in sales and our Paypal is constantly locked for a few days meaning we can't pay any merchants and it all becomes a lot of

We have lots of issues with Paypal, I run a digital deals network for designers, coders, etc and our paypal account is constantly having issues. Being told it'll take 10 days before we can send payments because there was an influx in paymen

I've spent 2 weeks coming up with a name as for me having a good name is important. It's not number one but I know that good names exist so I put the effort in and go through hundreds of names. Using every tool out there before I usually co

Very interesting although all what shows for me is Logos because I cannot draw anything but stick figures on a mac touchpad.

Nice one Dan, is it the company you work for or is this the name of your company?

That's only 4, this is a savvy audience i'm sure there are others they use.

Why not continue what did you do to market it? There's lots you could do which is slightly different to normal techniques. I think you need to try something new and if all fails continue with this plan of action. When you're ready to give u

Me too, my library is fairly small as it's rarely used by my community and if I sat there all day it would be very awkward as i'd probably be one of the only people in there and I doubt anyone usually works from there. Coffee shops on the o

Few things. Cool piece for something who's maybe a beginner but not totally sure for this audience. Also I don't know why this would take six hours? Maybe with the propagating which would mean it could take 24 hours.

This really is amazing news, Eric is leading this movement. The Lean startup is influencing every part of this 'industry' if you can call it that considering how broad startups can be.

Interesting, i'm working on a contextual twitter analytics app which is more about visualising the context behind tweets and grouping it. How different is this to Geckoboard?

I think it's selling via ebay and not a regular domain/site selling marketplace as it would be sold for much less. I don't see how it's worth nearly 10,000 when before Facebook ate their lunch it made $50 a month.

It depends what they're looking for: Facts, insights or opinions and news on startups. Here's a list of items which i've always liked. To be honest you can get so much just from reading Hacker News. Books: Founders at Work The Lean

If the startup isn't costing you a lot it may be best it leave it running. It'll give you more credibility as if someone says "I Made X and failed" yet there's just an expired domain at X you've basically scrubbed out the past and your work

Interesting idea once you watch the video. No totally convinced but it's an interesting idea, very much following the lean startup model with the validation and such. But not sure what Launchitnow added other than linking to the site. http
