Apple does offer about 10% off for bulk discounts (between 5 - 12% roughly). They may have not known, been signed up or just let students choose themselves.

I'm part of a team building distributed crowd funding tools that focus on these problems for independent sellers. Some similarities to Celery, just in terms of product.

Levchin has money in most of the major payments startups so it's interesting to see him launch his own venture. I like the idea but the current site/demo doesn't really feel like the right execution. I suppose I should get to know it before

They send me so many emails. It's a joke, I probably put in a fake number but I hear they also call a lot of people. Offer a free 'data t-shirt', make you install their product and call/email you constantly.

This is absolutely interesting but I'm not sure if post-Kickstarter you'd regain a target goal or some of other same functionality. Rather you may want to be able to pre-order with a different model. Like Pebble took with their website.

This is great to see. I'm working on something similar which has a few more features is focused on integrating into other brands websites or social networks. I think this is going to be an exciting arena with a lot of market potential. The

Wow! So smart this is something I do when coming up with domain names but nice to simplify it, making it incredibly faster.

They acquired Vine and just yesterday let them launch their product under Vine and stay in New York. They acquired TweetDeck and changed it a little but the team and registered company still resides in England. and as you said Posterous is

Either TechMeme got it wrong or the story was edited to remove it but the TechMeme quote includes "YCombinator" in that list. http://www.techmeme.com/130108/p31#a130108p31 Edit: Now says "(including, previously, Y Combinator)"

If you're bootstrapping a SaaS then you're probably right. If you're building something big, like a Square, BankSimple, Spotify, etc then your chances of success drop considerably. Especially on the raising money front. It's a really odd te

Yes, I paid slightly more than I probably should've for a domain (no-where near this much but in terms of how important it was) and it'll hinder you from making future pivots or product changes which could be bad. When looking for domain na

Hipmunk can't compete with anyone on price as they use prices directly from airlines vs a mix of travel sites and airlines. Hipmunk has a great interface & iPad app if you want to compare on flight "agony" and their hotels interface is

I don't think it's as much of a problem for IFTTT as they're currently the dominant player with in my opinion the best product. If they don't sell to the enterprise then Zapier will be able to strike in that market.

Outlook.com is starting to become an alternative. I hate using anything related to Windows Live though. I also want to use my own domain name, I remember seeing a post explaining how to do this with Outlook.com. Yahoo could actually try to

I haven't gone to College, I've gone out from High School and started building a startup. Doesn't apply so much to me because when I wasn't working in school I was up all night getting a few hours of sleep after working on projects.

I actually quite like this but what scares me is I see no mention of an export. A startup could never use this if there is no simple way to leave at some point in the future.

This is leaps and bounds better than Apple Maps and even the original maps client on iOS that used Google Maps. I didn't even think Apple maps were 'that' bad. The huge hole was POI data, in London at least. Most POI's seemed to be approxim

It's a little bit of a shame in my eyes. They could've built out a network and been bought for a lot by Amazon, Rakuten, eBay, Best Buy, etc or have built a big company. They obviously saw value in joining Google as they were still early on

I agree with many of the points being made but I don't believe that we're actually in a bubble. Speaking to serial founders and investors it's actually a much tougher time to raise money right now than six months ago. There was no pop, just

Why don't film makers put the first 10 minutes of a film on Bittorrent a week or month before release? This could offer many of the advantages and still allows them to earn direct revenue. I know some have tried similar models and other stu
