Normally, I hate reading about these. Web dev has become easy enough that anyone should be able to prototype their idea. Nevertheless, two words in article make this worth reading. "I hustle" That's something I really respect (assuming you

I've made an spreadsheet with the following - Name, Email, Company, Introduced By/At, Status In status, write down stuff like "Give Beta," or "Reconnect in one month."

I wish the article went into detail of following up with VCs. For example, how to followup after the first meeting? I've felt that a simple "Thank you, I look forward to talking more" isn't good enough. I think you need to go further and

You're correct. VLC was one of many codenames for the Apple IIc, source: http://books.google.com/books?id=mXnw5tM8QRwC&lpg=PA46&#...

Is the video jittery and crazy for anyone else? This is hard to watch.

For a veteran programmer learning a new language like Haskell, I agree completely. For a novice programmer learning their first language, they probably don't understand the quicksort algo and probably have no concept of arrays or any data s

I don't know Jason Calacanis, his personality or anything. His "I'm never tired, keep up with me" is.... odd to say the least. Nevertheless, I do agree with his "I want to surround myself with people who can work at my pace, work 80 hours a

Exactly. They compared an ultraportable to full-size laptops, without outlining why someone should get one over the other. They only stated the obvious "other computers give you more power."

Crowd-sourced transcription over OCR for something like business cards (where the accuracy of transcription is crucial for the card to be useful) is just BRILLIANT.

It is incredibly dangerous to write things like this. It encourages rebellious activity during one of the busiest traveling seasons. I understand these are potentially too invasive, but as long as the TSA agent is not being a pervert, I am

I wonder if Gogo inflight can also fall victim to Firesheep? If I recall, it uses no security other than a authentication webpage.

Garages are attached to houses so...House? Haha ;) Also, I'm personally noticing the reduced productivity, that's why I'm not sure I like the "house" idea.

I only use 2-3 Spaces (to separate work from chats and distractions). I find it hard to split up "work" into multiple Spaces when I need to look at all of my work at once (ex. need reference docs + code up at the same time).

It's not just about resolution as some have pointed out. I like to have Terminal, emacs, XCode, Firefox, Preview for any PDFs all open at once. That's why I prefer 15/17" + external 22/24" - I would never be able to handle the small 13" jus

Coffee + 10 minute breaks every 20 minutes of code. Weekly/monthly hackathons help condition your body for this ;-) I obviously crash immediately after. I'm usually delirious and black-out (after TechCrunch Disrupt for example).

I'm curious - how does such violence actually help anything? There are much more effective ways of telling the government that their actions are not favorable. Specifically, I point out the high school students overturning a car. What does

Define "mainstream." This gives the false idea that such an interface would take over the way humans normally compute and interact with machines. This interface is nowhere close to the level of replacing the traditional keyboard/mouse or th

I think it's been hard to get exposure for desktop apps in the past few years due to the massive explosion of mobile apps. This should help turn the tides and help devs deploy desktop apps easily. I hope we don't get more "Fart" desktop app

A bit off topic, but where can I learn more about convertibles, valuation caps, FF stock, and all the legal stuff we don't learn in our engineering classes?
