This sounds a lot better than those n-tier scalable e-business solutions they were hawking a decade ago.

There's absolutely nothing in the Techcrunch article that would suggest this company is doing anything so technologically complex that it can't be easily duplicated. They even admitted they have no concrete plan (or proof) they can monetiz

Mark should try to hack it so it broadcasts live without the thief's knowledge. It could be a huge inside joke where nobody tells him, kind of like The Truman Show.

It seems almost impossible to sell any web app I think this is becoming (or always has been) a general truth. Customers now expect everything available on the internet to be free. But they're more than happy to pay money for things that

Has anyone actually done any research into exactly what data is sent to Google when you use Chrome? Not that it really matters anymore, FF4 is faster than Chrome in my experiments so don't think I'll be using Chrome at all anymore.

I've always used less than a gig so I never had to pay. I hope they never do start turning the cranks cause I'd definitely start paying if they forced me to.

I fear that in the future these mispellings will wind up being recognized as correct spelling of the words.

It is a tremendous feeling to get to the break-even point and with it the realization that you can now work on your startup full-time for as long as you want.

I tend to agree. SEO is a disease that makes Google lots of money, but is destroying the ability to find anything. Keywords simply do not work anymore. I have a feeling that there are probably 5-10 startups out there working on this and

Running the whole company as a startup isn't going to work. But what might work is to build several skunkworks projects within the company with their own CEO's. And if the projects are successful to run the companies as subsidiaries and of

The things you have mentioned are rather trivial in the overall picture and really not a good enough reason to support IE7 but not IE6. The JavaScript engines are nearly identical and the broad set of technologies are the same. For example

As far as I can tell there's no reason to get rid of IE6 unless you're going to also eliminate IE 7 and 8. Aside from CSS differences they are largely equivalent. Even IE9 doesn't support websockets or even half the HTML5 features of any

Without autoplay you cannot build a web based app that has audible dings for things like alerts or any sort of JavaScript music player or game. I'm okay with a web browser having the option of disabling audio though.

I get the feeling that Apple is preparing another big push into this area. Between cloud-iTunes, the mega datacenter, and rumors of some sort of new iPad sync system they've got plans for sure.

I previously never had any desire to create a profile, I didn't see any reason to. But now I kind of want to create a private profile just to experience having my digital persona permanently deleted from record and to join the revolution.

Are there any Phonegap-style templates out there to get people up and running quickly?

USB use amongst users is just too hard. Where exactly did he get this conclusion? USB is the easiest peripheral interface ever made, that's why it's popular. He is correct that the iPad will never have a USB port. But not because of eas

That was disappointing. This doesn't tell me what to do with a billion dollars at all, it tells me what not to do for one year. Okay I wait a year... then what? Beyond typical "invest wisely" advice, there might be things you can do with

You need to either get a raise or quit. Wallowing around in between these two options isn't a healthy employment situation.
