The goal of a company is to make as much money as possible. If you want to get people to develop for your OS over another OS you have to give them an incentive to do so. Using a cross-platform API disincentives one to only develop for Win

I agree it's absolutely ridiculous. Supporting HTML/JS and being "open" might sound like a good idea but all it's going to do is turn former Win32/WinForms/WPF/Silverlight devs over to HTML/JS which then they'll lose a platform lock on as

The leadership at MS needs serious re-work if they want to maintain their position in the enterprise. Their cash cow is Windows OS and based on what we've seen with their push for HTML5 at conferences like MIX over proprietary hooks into t

I've been feeling the same way myself the past couple of days. Not sure if it's due to the weather and all the rain recently. But I've been feeling burnt out myself. I don't have any solutions at the moment, except I think on Friday I'm g

At the end of the video Patrick mentions his website has some example businesses for women. Anyone have the link to that page?

3 years is an eternity in Internet years. If there's a failure to generate a MVP like you mentioned in 3 yrs (one should've been able to get something out in 6 months to a year at most to test the markets), then it's time to cut your losse

I was expecting more of the same old CRUD crap, but was pleasantly surprised. Good luck with it!

If one thinks the market is going to go down and wants to hedge seems another alternative is to go long the dollar like UUP instead of GLD, since the dollar is inversely correlated with the market. A higher dollar makes investing in US com

I was in college working part-time doing websites, etc. Should've dropped out and went full-time with several of the offers being given. But at the time I sort of wanted to finish the college thing.

But that's not a private messaging system. I get enough spam as it is and don't feel like playing games with obfuscating my e-mail when there's a better solution. And if you don't want private msgs, just turn on a flag to disallow it.

Have a widget on the homepage that shows the top 10 links of the day so that we don't have to read and sift through every single submission. Just reading only 10 links per day would be less of a time sucker.

Respectfully disagree about not dipping into your IRA to fund a startup if you're driven to succeed and raising capital otherwise falls through. Just make sure it's for the right idea and it'll pay multiples over the crappy returns the S&#

Or never launch because you're always worrying about the millions of users you'll never get because you're too busy trying to learn NOSQL instead of just using MySQL for the first iteration.

"I'm engaging in anecdotal junk science here but my theory is that the people who really loose themselves in games like WoW are people with very poor time management skills." I totally concur with this statement. It's just a matter of prio

- Learn Python and GAE and make a simple MVP one page website just to get some web dev experience (since I'm mainly a desktop C#/WinForms/WPF dev at work) - Learn more about fundamental analysis and incorporate that with the current technic

" I wish my friends did what they loved and not what their peers thought was cool or society deemed worthy. None of them love what they do." I think that's the money quote here. I think Steve Jobs said it best in a commencement speech: ...

Or wrong... If you don't love what you do it's probably not worth it in the long run. Doing a startup isn't necessarily going to put you in a financial disaster. It just makes the end result more volatile. The way I look at it is with lif

Maybe the buyer wasn't looking to gain anything (gasp! someone that does something selflessly), and just wanted to support the website, concept, and/or developers to continue on.

Find your passion. Plain and simple. Although it's better if your passion is something in high demand that you can easily make money off.
