I've never in my life gone through a more bureaucratic, more inefficient, slower experience than any flight I've had on Alitalia.

It's starting to sound like xobni might replace loopt as the "most successful" yc company?

Agreed. I was incredibly disappointed that zuckerberg "thanked" his developers at the end of the f8 presentation, but neglected to have a slide with their names. This is one thing the film industry has right... it's nice to say to my frien

A gripe... Journalists don't write headlines. Editors do.

The point, however, is that social news sites (so far) are not replacements for editorial front pages. They exist solely because the mainstream news sites aren't very broad (10 stories are 50%, sounds like the long-tail book again). If I wa

It's all about the smaller screen sizes with this business model. Let people choose what films they want at what time, let other people buy tickets, serve beer, etc. Then again.. that's what you do with netflix.

The thing he ignores here is the value of your own time. Call 8-10 dealerships? Two FULL weekends? On a run of the mill kind of car (like a Honda, Toyota, etc) the most you can possibly save this way is probably $500-$1000 (getting bank fin

Sketch and storyboard artists for film and animation often use sharpies for this same reason. You want to convey an idea first - people often zoom in on the finest detail in a drawing or design, and using inexact lines makes the design itse

The studios and theater owners punish the people who don't pirate films the most. If you pay full price for a theater movie you have to sit through 15 minutes of ads and trailers. If you pay full price for a DVD, you have to sit through t

I think this is an interesting use of the answers service as a marketing tool - but also for market research. Who knows if Obama is actually going to read the answers, but you can't say he didn't ask. Nice to see some (positive) focus on t

The only reason having a family matters is because someone relies on your income. Hopefully, if you've had a job for a while, you have enough cash built up to live for a year or so. That means you have a year to either: 1) quit the startu

I just thought of something... is the iPod Touch / iPhone the apple stealth entry into tablet computing? If so, it's a classic way to do a good market entry - give something to people that they KNOW they want (a better iPod and better cell

I just read the whole thing... Linus basically says "I wrote it in C so idiots like you wouldn't (and couldn't) contribute". Which is mean spirited and kind of an asinine thing to say, but so awesome at the same time.
