   In 10 years, Google could be in serious trouble on the search front. Yes it will take that long. Yes they could actually lose. Rock 'em Gabriel.

   Honest question: Who cares if it's a bubble? If you aren't going to act on the opinion/information, it might not be worthy of your time, attention and focus. "Watch out! Bubble!" conversations generally just raise our anxiety without

   Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to add that if people's subjective perceptions of BCC (modern! clean!) are improved, this may improve (admittedly hard to measure) word of mouth. Keep it up!

   Not sure why this was written up by CultofMac, aside from pageviews. The inventor doesn't have control anymore, and therefore no say in how the patent will or won't be enforced. "Don't worry, it'll be fine" is meaningless.

   Argh. This continues to happen. Was in a boardroom meeting with a company recently with my female cofounder, and she was all but ignored by the CEO (others were fine). On the surface, nothing will come of it. In actual fact though, the

    I think "muksah" might actually be closer than parve, in this context.

    I had very few pre-existing connections to the angel/VC community when we started raising, but we did have some social proof when we opened up on AngelList.

    AngelList is shockingly effective, I can't recommend it highly enough. We were at the end of our fundraising when we opened up that channel, and we ended up turning away 14 investors. YMMV of course.

    I've met these guys, and it's a great concept. Making energy savings fun and engaging could be a big win since traditional methods to change consumer behavior don't work well.

    This is great. Talk about finding a real need and solving it. Well done guys. Do you or does anyone know of something similar for licensing agreements? The ones we all sign without reading? That'd be great as well.

    Actually you can make $10,000 from nothing weeding or mowing. Of course, you have to be willing to do hard things like get rejected door to door, but it's extremely possible.

    Random abuse against innocent people isn't really the moral solution. Public complaints and negative press for Facebook is a better way.

    The piece is either funny or sad depending on what lens you view it through. At a company level, it's one company giving another one their just deserts. On a personal level for the sales guy involved, it's a waste of his time (and possibly

    That's probably true, but it's more a sign that they've crossed the chasm to being mainstream than something that'd matter. See also: Craigslist

    I remember when I worked delivering Chinese food, waiting in an intersection to turn left. A police officer was sitting at the light across the street from me. I saw him, turned left and he promptly pulled me over. Turned out there was n
