Disclosure: I know Jason, he's a friend. Jason actually is in fact a startup CEO. You'll hear about his CEO-ness in the coming months, but just wanted to point that out. On the other hand, I'm not a CEO (I'm founder/CTO) but feel like

You're right. Sorry about that. I need to go through and clean-house a little bit (too much stuff has accumulated over the years). I'll make it faster.

On the YouTube front, I'd argue that things are not really a "steal" unless we they were purchased for well below market value at the time. I don't know that we have much evidence that Google underpaid by a lot given circumstances at YouTu

I don't think PHP will die in the next few years. For the same reason that C++ (and for that matter, even COBOL) haven't really died. There are enough people that need it kept alive that it will keep going for a while.

This is awesome! Thanks, John. One thing that I find a bit unfriendly is that on an iPhone, every switch to a new page briefly shows the URL bar at the top. Other than that, everything seemed to work for me.

I'd argue that freemium works best when the "premium" part has value for the user. But, making money (i.e. directly contributing to revenue/profit) is just one way to have value. Saving time is another. So, I pay DropBox not because it he

Indeed. It was a great session. And, I (@dharmesh) must not have bought Alexis dinner recently enough, because my head is photoshopped in on one of the slides too. But, I'm in good company -- @cdixon is there too.
