While not partners, Renee Robinson and Audrey Kim are also a big part of what keeps YC running. The two of them still help us out quite often and kick-ass at what they do.

I came here to post this. I just found the email I received back when I was single, specifically on 10/12/11, and this is what it looked like: http://cl.ly/image/2A2N41383T38 This was clearly an ego boost, though not something you tweet a

The inductive charging hack is SO freaking awesome. I am going to have a base-station on my desk for it to land on and charge.

Exactly. I tell my investors lots of things I don't put on our website or pitch a reporter with, especially if it's part of a long-tail strategy.

I didn't realize there was audio in Vine until this morning. I always have my phone on mute and didn't think to try the app out with mute off. I prefer it with mute on, specifically because the sound takes away from the experience because i

I'd been toying around with a post like this of my own after getting tired of hearing bitching from both "camps" in the design community (skeuomorphic vs flat), so I'm glad to see this. The current trend has become totally flat design, but

I've been using Windows 8 on a gaming PC I built myself for the first time in 6 years (I've been using Macs for work since), so I completely missed all versions of Windows between XP and now. While I love the initial Metro start screen expe

This is definitely the main issue I have with the site. I can produce exactly the same results on Dribbble itself by using the tags feature, but the "psd" tag doesn't actually mean you can download a PSD (the user just decided to tag it wit

I highly suggest everyone go watch the first season (or even first few episodes) of an anime called Sword Art Online. It's about what will likely be a future iteration of this hardware applied to an MMO. Addiction to being plugged in, death

According to the article, the outdoor scenes were awesome in 48FPS. It was the indoor scenes that looked fake and weird, due to the fact that 48FPS made it very apparent there was lots of makeup being used, because they had unnatural light

While I don't disagree with the "Quality product + good price + industry head start + robust and lucrative developer platform = dominant market position" line, I do think you should add "amazing marketing" to it. If Apple's marketing were n

The first most important metric: When it goes up and to the right, it means your company doesn't die. Death can be alluded in many different ways, depending on the nature of your business, but it usually means making money, hitting a milest

This has potential but it needs more focus. Instead of making it so open ended (i.e. Want to grab a beer? -- which is kind of creepy), make it very specific. This is a service for allowing neighbors to easily share Wifi. It helps subsidize

When I think back to the days when I played Ultima Online (14 to 17 I believe), for whatever reason my fondest memory is a "profession" I picked up, which was that of a blacksmith. We're not talking a cookie cutter category I selected on ch

While I agree, there is also a balance to be struck. The more co-founders you have, the more likely there will be overlapping skill-sets and disagreements which can lead to various forms of failure as well. From what I can tell, and persona

Looks like a much more slick version of HypeMachine (www.hypem.com), which I've been using for years. Competition is never a bad thing, so this is great, I'll be trying it out. Very well done for a "side project".

Would love to see a "top stories from last week" feature. Imagine I'm on vacation, or I've just been too busy to keep up with current events but would like to catch up. This is nicely done. I'll be giving it a shot as a tab that never close

This isn't a purely technical pros/cons, but still a good way of looking at them both: - They are both well backed (Heroku by Salesforce money/profits, Parse by great investors), have awesome founders, talented employees, and are both YC co
