@gashad - thanks grammar Nazi, let that one slip by.

It's really unfortunate and sometimes unnerving that we live in a time where most people are so caught up in the hype and bullshit of meaningless companies, actions, ideas and people that have no real importance and benefit to our daily liv

People have lost touch with reality a LONG time ago. They do not care about health (America is the fattest, unhealthiest country on the planet), they don't care about science & technology (Tumblr, IG, FB, reality TV, TMZ, etc. dominate

Exactly. The fact that that "majority" of "readers" in the US care more about Tumblr means nothing, Tumblr is the farthest away from important when it comes to technology, innovation, and I'll even say communication. It's just another stupi

Quick rebuttal: Flickr barely makes any money.

This is another one of those SV deals that simply DO NOT make sense whatsoever. So Yahoo! wants the young audience (check), but what are they going to do? Throw ads at young teens (who browse porn and nail art on Tumblr)? Have a "bigger" pr

Agreed. 20% of what they're showing might work, the rest is nice Hollywood VFX.

I like it. But they're shooting for the stars here. I'm not sure they'll be able to achieve the quality shown in the video (done with nice Hollywood VFX) in real-life. Like others mentioned, latency might be an issue, but generally the augm

One of the hardest things I've learned over the years is how to condense information into quick slides, quick demos, quick presentations. People don't have the capacity that some of us might have. We're used to the material, so it's second

Good stuff. Couldn't agree more. Being a founder is no easy task, most people think you're bat shit crazy, don't understand what you're doing or saying and it can definitely bring you down at times. But you know what - KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

People, and particularly this article, love to throw around "industry terms" to get clicks and create buzz. You can't fathom how many times "entrepreneurs" making the latest Instagram throw out the "change the world" line. It's fashionable.

Agreed with shawnc, the article should state Crowdfunding and not Kickstarter. But that aside, I definitely agree with others that using crowdfunding as a "startup tool" doesn't make everything and everyone on there a "startup." If anything

This is hilarious.

Would love to hear you elaborate on this...

Great comment. Very accurate anecdote, it really is all about finding a small community if like-minded, driven, talented individuals to purse ideas and do great things. A lof people, especially here in LA, are consumed with raising a quick

Vine is probably the dumbest application of the year. Unfortunately, it's not the last.

Exactly. You might get value from doing heroin like millions of others, but that doesn't means it's good for people/humanity. I'm not saying FB doesn't have value (it does because it connects people) but I, for one, remember the world being

Fantastic comment, well said, right on the money, perfection. I was recently at a startup event in Los Angeles, where the terms "Silicon Beach" and "change the world" were mentioned at least a dozen times. While I love that Los Angeles, for

PCH is the global leader for supply chain management and manufacturing (they make some of the most popular products we all use today) and they also have a new accelerator program launching this summer. But accelerators are generally reserve

I think it's hilarious how kids these days think they are in the "technology business" because they launched an e-commerce website or paid a company $25k to build them an app. But may the best man win...

China is somewhat the AWS of hardware (I mean we're definitely never making anything in the US again, that's for sure)... But it is a very big problem indeed. And a totally different, human interaction driven issue to say the least. It woul

I think it's brilliant. For a variety of reasons: First, you lose the legacy financing model to make an independent (sub-$10M) movie. So you not only get to make your feature, but you get to keep all worldwide distribution rights. You're al

Agree with this 100%. This and Veronica Mars are totally changing the dynamic of how indies are funded. Studios are fuming right now.

Agreed 100%. I watched CNN for 15 minutes and they literally kept looping the same 15-second clip of police running down a street with guns drawn. On the other hand, you had a thriving community of Reddit/HN/Twitter users, live scanner and

The Reddit/Twitter/Social Media aspect of this entire series of events is truly unprecedented. It's truly amazing to see how the Internet has enabled a constant, real-time stream of information from thousands of sources to be analyzed, comm

Agreed 100% Never really used Twitter lists before but this one shows the true capability of having an aggregate list of important information on what is turning out to be chaos in the Watertown area.

True good point, damn burners. Two gigantic idiots - walking the streets together, around corners carrying heavy backpacks. Can't fathom how they didn't know with todays surveillance and a million people taking photos that they wouldn't get

So I take the photos aren't clear enough and/or the FBI doesn't have the facial recognition capabilities (read not in the database) to identify these fuckers? Can anyone elaborate on the scope of facial recognition technologies used by law
