It would take an incredible amount of sack for Microsoft to deliberately break IE; there's no way they would ever take a risk like that and I really doubt it would play out like you think. Web based applications have way too much momentum.

This is genius. It's is problem everyone is having, and everyone knew it ( http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/lazybackup ). If it really works as well as it looks in that demo then they nailed it. I'm both envious and inspired. I'll be surprise

One part that surprised me: "You have not taken a salary in two years. Typically, founders doing that have kept records and get paid in shares." I sorta figured working for free (or close to) for a while was just part of the deal if you wan

Definitely heard about this before, but it was good to see examples. Also one thing that was glazed over at startup school (and at the other ones I listened to) is that it is an exclusive or sort of thing because these terms are specificall
