On the contrary, I think YC and PG have put their money where their mouth is. Search: Greplin Email: eTacts (sort of), Taskforce (emails => todo list), Xobni Movies / Music: Earbits Publishing: Hyperink These are just off the top of my

This is taking the word "exit" a bit liberally, but has YC sold any stock in later rounds of financing for companies like Dropbox and Airbnb?

I know I'm not doing anything wrong by searching through all these domains, but it certainly feels wrong.

They're "fighting up" as a marketing tactic. And it seems to be working pretty well so far. Countless of other startups have done the same thing like Paypal (fighting Ebay), Handspring (fighting Palm), Runkeeper (fighting Nike), etc.

github has commented on the issue, and only suspended his account until they had gotten to the bottom of the issue, the hack, and his intent. This seems totally reasonable (as in he says this wasn't malicious, but let's make sure just in ca

What struck me most is that the following was clearly a pride point of the culture at MSFT: "The company is owned (a key issue) and operated by software wizards: Bill Gates and Paul Allen." Not anymore. Company is now run by a professional

Kind of crazy that for the price of just a new battery, you could get a lower class Audi or BMW. Really put the overall "electric" technology in perspective for me.

To be fair, everyone and their mother has ripped off 37 Signals pricing table and this never seemed to bother anyone.

You can think about this as a campaign finance problem or as a federal politicians have too much power problem. You don't have campaign finance as a problem if lobbying doesn't do these companies any good.

Hence the next sentence: "Since then, we've heard legitimate concerns about the impact the bill could have on access to the Internet and about a potentially unreasonable expansion of the federal government's power to impact the Internet. Co

In a way, I think that Harvard (and probably Standford, MIT, etc.) have done this all along. It's just getting publicity now. I am class of '08 at Harvard and actually took this course (taught be a different professor--excellent when I took

Federal government spent $15B on drug enforcement, prevention, etc. in 2010. Clearly lots of jobs.

One thing I'll comment on this is that I have a Roomba, love it, but it does require quite a bit of human care. About every three clean cycles (I have a one bedroom apartment) I have to take it apart, clean all the hair that gets stuck arou

Out of curiosity, which frameworks did you try before going the native route? Scrolling the only thing keeping you from a Sencha / Phonegap like approach?

"He accepted it [Nobel Prize] only when advised that, as the first person to refuse a Nobel Prize, the publicity would be even greater" Couldn't be more true.

What's supposed to be happening? Stared for a minute (in Safari) and nothing happened to the pictures.

Looks very similar to www.surfsgood.com which I think also suffers from the problem that Surfers don't really want to share this information.

How about the fact that everything is button based, instead of touch screen based? Do you still have to go through a menu dialogue to input a website on your Android phone? The screenshot demonstrates that pre-2007, Android was along the li

Completely agree. Do we need to be reminded of what Android looked like before the iPhone existed? http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2007/11/androi... The whole concept of Android shifted once iPhone was introduced. What the G

Kind of a side-note: I found this comercial very difficult to follow. Not sure if this is only on the web, or if it's on TV as well, but a casual observer (i.e. comercial is on the background, not really paying attention) will find it very

Consulting and finance are lucrative, partially because there are serious demands of the job that you're not considering. * Working 7 days a week (in the office for 110 hours) * Living out of a suitcase * Often living out of a suitcase in t

What are the reservations in making this service public? Also, did the github employees know that their IGs were going to be made into magnets or was it a surprise?

Second that. Also been using the 13" since early Jan as a dev machine and am absolutely in love with it. These upgrades will only make it better.

A little tangential, but I think this post outlines another argument for the "higher education bubble." Is 40k a year worth learning how to effectively plagiarize?
