Agreed. I was having trouble focusing for a while and started biking 25 miles immediately when I woke up every morning. Doing the exact same loop every day started a pattern that I could follow for the rest of the day and I became a much

Why focus just on students? Maybe make a general calender/sms applications, then do small customizations for different groups. You could have a student calender or a family calender.

It would appear as though you have spent a good deal of time thinking about this. The irony is that even if 20 people posted their part time success stories, it would have no bearing on your success. It might give you a bit of confidence

A business plan is predicting the future. Play around with scenarios of different success/failure points. If you have X amount of cash to work with that will get you y months of time to prove it.

Actually, you should have named this 'how long can I survive on bootstrapping'. It seems as though your answer is 'not much longer' at your current trajectory. So you need to change something. It sounds like you couldn't afford to release

Ok, we've pointed out a lot of the flaws with a system like this. But what if there were advantages beyond just 'exchanging data'? One drawback to the business card is that it is very passive. I just cleaned out piles of business cards an

In no way would I want this. Perhaps I'm just being that old guy on the porch complaining about technology, but I happen to like my innate ability to forget things. I come from an extremely forgetful and absentminded family, and so it is a

Perhaps more tragic is that in his industry he often get's a down payment of 30-50%, which is often enough to cover the costs of the equipment. Scaling up to 40 people in the custom home installation market is very difficult. Cash flow is

Chances are you won't make _this_ mistake, but if your company gets off the ground, you'll make a couple of big mistakes that lose you customers, cash and pride. And you'll look back on those mistakes and wonder to yourself, much like the h

I learned a new word! Vitriol: 1a. See sulfuric acid. 1b. Any of various sulfates of metals, such as ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, or copper sulfate. 2. Bitterly abusive feeling or expression.

I've been thinking about something similar. There are a number of different items that help make up what I would consider to be a 'good day'. (this will vary from person to person) 1. Exercise - Did I run or bike? 2. Food - Did I eat heal

I've never signed up for facebook, but it seems like everyone around me has. And recently, they have all been complaining that their parents have recently signed up. All we need is a couple of infamous outages and facebook will have 'jumpe

ahh... there are few things so constant in life as the ability for a consumer electronics company (minus one and maybe two) to take what might have been a nice concept and screw it up.

I think this could be done with a separate bluetooth device with a vibrating motor built in. It would be a similar product to trying to solve the other major issue with phone calls being heard. If someone often stores their phone in a back

I just got out of my 12 year old startup and took a full time, real job. I told them upfront I would probably last 6-9 months, and we are planning my projects accordingly. I have to say it is the most relaxing thing I have ever done in the

In 25 years this kid is going to be giving his kid his iPhone and he's going to write the exact same thing about being bulky and crappy battery life (and no mind control).

Actually, I didn't read all that far because I was wondering why they would popup a facebook bar on the bottom. Any reason for that? Do they get paid for it?

Possibly. I would probably prefer it in the same place as on my laptop, below the space bar. At this point why can't we put the trackpad on top of all the keys? The action of pressing keys would not change, and 'stroking' them would move

Rules are, if the friend invited you, and in many cases even if not, they are responsible for being overly friendly and inviting you over and introducing you to a couple of the people in the group. If it's a programmer/founder get together

I'm hoping we will see an open source hardware revolution in many different area's (consumer electronics is long overdue). It's so much easier when you don't have to hack the bios.

Actually, the price doesn't really matter right now. Jeff is clever enough to be aware that he's only selling to early adopters, and that will be the case for the next couple years. As long as he can build the infrastructure + database of

I had to teach a new college grad (comp sci) working in my office what DOS was. He didn't like to fiddle with 'computer stuff'. As I was walking him through 'CD' and 'mkdir' I almost had him type 'format c:' just to see what would happen.

My hunch is that it's like the black armband worn on professional sports teams when they suffer a loss of a loved one. (I'm sure this extends beyond sports, but that's the only place I've seen it)

NDAs are a pain. Can we fix this?

What they are trying to do is build the 'ibm pc' of laptops. If they use enough off the shelf parts that are somewhat standardized (or open enough to make into a new standard) it could be a platform that takes off. (though the market deman
