On a side note: I love the Macbook Air to death, but it's hardly the most silent set I've owned. There are quite a few complaints about the noise issues of the MBA, so be sure to check that out first.

Isn't it possible to replace the standard fan with a quiet, aftermarket fan? It sure is a lot cheaper than buying a new PC just for the sake of noise reduction. These guys specialize in quiet fans: http://www.acousticpc.com/index_quiet_com

But have you talked to the people at the accelerator yet? I don't know which accelerator it is, but if it's anything like I/O ventures, Techstars or YC, I'm sure that Paul, Brad or Paul has meaningful advice for you. In fact, that's where I

I married a couple of years ago, and I remember there were a LOT of wedding ideas sites on the web. Your site looks clean, the information is presented well and I had fun reading, so no problems there. My guess is that your main concern is

Can't you talk to the folks at ypur accelerator program? I'm pretty sure they'll be glad to give you some advice. Maybe they can introduce you to someone, as their network is probably a lot bigger than yours. One thing slightly bothers me,

Have you considered learning PHP with a framework? Code Igniter isn't too hardto learn, and the bonus of this strategy is that you'll learn using a framework. Once you get that switching to RoR or Django isn't too big of a step. In fact, yo

That's exactly the reason why I don't have an email address on the site. I had one before, but almost 100% of emails received were not from people asking legitimate questions, but from other businesses sollicitating.

Downtown is not the Strip, it's a mile or so north from the northernmost part of the Strip. Downtown has a more funky, 70's era-somewhat gritty vibe to it. More Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas than The Hangover, if you will. A good vibe, tho

While the threat is not so severe for us Europeans, I do fear that if the bill flies it will impact the internet as an entity. It will not just affect Americans, it will affect the world. I'm also baffled by the complete silence in our medi

You could get a virtual office (like Regus i.e.). If you hustle a bit it will cost you next to nothing (don't EVER pay retail with these guys!), you'll always have a space to get some work done while travelling and they can even answer your

Second on Wepay. The API is easily customizable. Plus well, you know, they're Ycombinator alumni.

Count me in! I have a beautiful orphan that needs some work to become an MVP. It't an art gallery for digital art. I've been working on it for quite some time now, but kinda lost interest (finishing stuff is Not my strongest point...) in. I

The fact that they don't have legal info on their site doesn't mean they haven't lawyered up. And no, a bad name won't kill your product. A bad product can kill a good name, though... My advice: save yourself the headache, and come up with

Here in The Netherlands we're pretty Liberal ( or libertarian, if you will), but I guess it depends on what you're looking for. Political freedom? Nothern Europe is a safe bet, Sweden for instance. Financially shady stuff? Try Antigua. I gu

Stovepipe wells in Death Valley. It's an intriguing place, the heat is OK right now, and I could easily spend a week or so. The desert, the soltitude, the deserted gold-rush era ghost towns, it's just fascinating. Ask for a room near the lo

Have you tried hootsuite (there are alternatives, but that's not the point)? You can schedule your tweets and FB updates with it, very handy if you don't want to be on Twitter and FaceBook during your day job.

The electric Kool-Aid acid test by Tom Wolfe. In a way I feel sorry that we don't have these kind of counter-cultural, non-conformist movements anymore. A hipster just isn't the same as a hippie... Reading this book has been an experience,

Generally speaking, VC's aren't interested in getting their money back with revenues from the company they're funding. They aim for a 'big exit', in the form of an IPO or acquisition by another company.

Just signed up too, and I agree that it looks very good! I'll test drive it for a couple of days to see how it works. I can imagine it's very cool to get notified whenever a new user signs up, but once you get to the point where you have 10

While calling them 'reliable' may be stretching it a bit, we do use PayPal for our outgoing payments. The fees are reasonable (for smaller numbers, not sure how things are for power users) and setup is easy.

No problems here. 25 years of screen work/play and no sore eyes/hands/wrists or anything. I do have glasses but I've had them ever since I was little.

Can't you combine both? Open your own pharmacy, and after a little while explore the idea of your own health/pharma-related startup? I'm sure that you'll find something in the pharmacy that you can vastly improve with tech. By the time you
