Okay..not quite all alarm clocks: http://www.axonlabs.com/products/smart.html

I've noticed the same thing. I've been forced to wake up with an alarm clock at 6am for the past several years, but in the past (and I hope the future) I never used an alarm clock because it doesn't pay attention to my sleep cycle.

Any company that bets on banner ads seems at-risk to me. If somebody can go get a browser plugin (AdBlock) and kill all banners with very little effort, what's to stop most users from doing that? At this point it's mostly techies who've fig

This has been around for a while. I remember referring to it something like three years ago. Cool, though!

I think we're going to see far more companies fail than succeed in this current boom, but the crazy optimism of the first bubble seems gone. The bets are smaller and more numerous, so some are bound to take off.

Can some random person just sign up and go or do you need to be connected to the event somehow?

I came away from it thinking "Okay, yeah, I already knew that much. What's this nirvana you're talking about?" I suspect I'm not the only one who has been exposed to lisp but hasn't really comprehended it. This article did little to convinc

He's complaining about PCs, but I've noticed similar issues with Mac apps. They don't have a system tray to go nuts in, but half of the mac apps I run check for updates at launch and bug me right when I'm trying to opens something. Some are

If your company goes south for any of a million reasons, who gets stuck with the bill? If you've sold equity, you've spread out the risk according to who's willing to take it. It's likely the founders opted to risk time more than money, so

The intellectual feeling I get here is something I really miss from Reddit's early days. Granted, YC News doesn't cover everything I care about, but like startupguy said, the signal to noise ratio is amazing. I just dropped Reddit from my b

Is there really a market for MVNOs like this? It seems to me like a lot of overhead for getting essentially the same services as you would with a large carrier.

By "others in this space" you're talking about Adobe Apollo and Microsoft WPF, right? Do you guys have an edge other than just having more apps at launch?

Isn't there a bit of a privacy issue here? If your site involves logging in, wouldn't TapeFailure record the user typing in their username and password?

Very cool! I didn't realize Pairwise had an actual business model back there. Great job, guys!

I'm struggling with how the pieces shift around. As I'm dragging a piece across the puzzle it messes up everything else I've done. I'd prefer to have it not affect other pieces until I drop it, at which point it swaps places with the piece

No. Apple has no motivation to support existing video distribution models. Why would they build a DVR? You can get TV and movies from iTS at good quality and reasonable cost sans ads. Apple doesn't just want to own the decoder unit, they wa

I'd like to see an option to view all articles I've upmodded, downmodded, or commented on. It makes a great place to go back to if I want to find something I said or read a while back and can't quite put my finger on it.

On the other hand, sometimes your major sustainable competitive advantage is your IP. My current employer has developed an algorithm that pretty much blows anybody else out of the water for what we're doing and they most definitely don't wa

Wow...I was pulling for XUL to replace the Ajax mess we have today, but this Flex thing looks like a serious contender. What a concept: sane, debuggable webapps that look slick, too!
