Things like this are just apt for abuse. While in real life when this happens, we get a small connection with the person (they live near me / they also were getting coffee), on the internet, people only see a free gift card that automatical

To me, it is only a failure if the time you put into it can make you more money or fulfill you in a greater way if you put it elsewhere. $100 may not be much, but if you are constantly churning out $100/month side projects and working very

The post felt like a tabloid piece -- it does not show that the Presidental Election was hacked, but rather that it could have been hacked. It then goes on to say things like "Connell died a month and a half after giving this deposition

To be fair, they are both "new" computers -- IE not refurbished or used. My point was the intent of the OP could have been what he found on Amazon from the respective retailers -- in which case the price point was much closer to what he men

This was the model I was referring to: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MC505LL-11-6-Inch-Laptop... Which is being sold from Apple on Amazon. I do not know if it is the latest one, but given the OP's original statement, was it ever imp

The model I saw was here: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MacBook-MC505LL-11-6-Inch-Laptop... Which could very well be the 2010 model. That being said, the OP never mentioned getting "the latest and greatest" Macbook Air, only a Macbook Air.

The Samsung Series 5 3g is $500, the cheapest Macbook Air is $835. So, a little more than a couple hundred dollars more, but a lot less than $650 more (even the cheapest Chromebook at $350 would be tops $485 less).

When I first saw the Chromebook, I figured it would be priced around $150, so that it was a no-brainer decision (especially with it's limitations over a normal laptop). But at $349, its still $75 more than an Acer Aspire One. Make it $100-$

I have the idea but getting the idea onto a website and making it work is what I’m having trouble with Having an idea is worth nothing. Creating that idea is everything. Unless you have other talents besides being an idea man, no engineer

I know you were joking from your first line, and maybe I'm being too much of a hardass, but please don't start saying memes in comments. Its the kind of thing that I would expect on Reddit or Digg, but not here.

I've applied to TechStars about 4-5 times, maybe more. Each time I applied I made more and more progress, and got as far as being a TechStars finalist [Top ~30], but no further. Despite each time being "nonselected" rather than "rejected",

Doesn't sound definitive to me. I'm sure they want to be in the US, but until they announce a launch date or at least a carrier, I won't get my hopes up just yet.

If you don't have friends that can be your cofounders, these events really are the next best thing. You can immediately see who is interesting, who works hard, and who just talks a lot.

Raldi responded a year ago to how much Aaron was a "cofounder": "Aaron Swartz founded a company called Infogami that merged with reddit to form "not a bug", so this is sort of like Steve Case calling himself a Time Warner cofounder. " ht

My thoughts on it: 1) Two clicks for search needs to go. Why can't they just get rid of the white space from the logo and display the search at all times? Make search easy, not hard. 2) I don't like being asked to share an article before I

The question becomes, once they start focusing on monetization, will people stick around the service for long? I think the Facebook brand has a neutral perception in the community at best, unlike Apple or Google, who have brands that people

Since I made no mention of product, nor never specifically said only a single weekend, I would find it hard to believe that you could know what was doubtful to create or not, but I digress. I think for everyone, there is a level at which th

Isn't there a point where the service isn't worth the monthly cost though? For example, I was looking for a service to do something very specific. It was something I could probably code in a weekend or so, but I figured there was some free

The biggest question I have is: why are so many people leaving Reddit? Over the past few months, the site has grown continuously yet the people that have been the driving force of the site seem to be leaving just as the site is hitting its

The problem is, the people that would know about your ad-free service would be the same people that know about Adblock Plus, so it would be a hard sell. Perhaps if you marketed it to older generations with no technical experience it might w

For me, I would say > 20% would be a "co-founder" status. Anything less and it sounds like you are more an employee than anything else. It may be his idea, he may have even created the prototype, but a prototype is not a final product.

What percentage of users do this, that you can tell? If its 3% of users, it might not even be worth it. That being said, why not allow a few registrations per IP address (versus 1). You'd hate to punish possible paying clients by preventing

Even if we change it from "needing a smart cover" to "needing a magnetic cover", the same general principal holds: You won't just need an iPad 2, you'll also need a cover that takes advantage of this capability, which will cut down your aud

Very clever use of the smart cover, but in the end I don't feel many people will use it. Its cleverness relies on having an iPad 2 and a smart-cover, which segments it. Then, from a usability standpoint, I feel it would be more annoying to

This topic reminds me somewhat of DRM -- Specifically, #2 and #3 reminds me of Titan Quest's blocks that caused pirated copies of the game to malfunction and crash without warning. The problem is, many believe this actually backfired for Ti
