For some reason if a VC dumps $10m each into 100 companies and none of them is very successful, it's part of the business. YC puts $15-20k into 20 companies and one has a (major) liquidity event and that's a failure? wtf?

I was actually pretty impressed w/ the django book, even in its unfinished state. I also "get" django more than I get rails, so I'm definitely attracted to it (after quick looks at both). My point was just that there's so much behind rails

Hiring is obsolete. Google knows it. Why sift through 100349234 resumes for one job when you could just get some technology and great people?

I love python. I really enjoy programming in it. But then I went to my local bookstore and checked out the web section. There's not a single django book. Or even a web related python book at all. But there's a whole section of Rails books.

I've been thinking about this today and I realized that there's one thing that makes the carriers and handset manufacturers unimportant.... browser support. If the incumbents continue to stifle innnovation, then the best apps will come out

If you've used 3d packages at all, the zooming interface is pretty familiar, even for 2d data/layouts. Many 3D packages (especially maya or shake) use them to elegantly manipulate large graphs, images, etc.

I've used both fvwm2 and metacity without any special tweaking. Had to abandon fvwm2 b/c for some bizarre reason it just won't display firefox in fedora core 5, and netscape 4 just wasn't cuttin' it anymore.

The sad part is that for hollywood cheap means reality and game shows. They've just about abandoned the idea of inexpensive scripted content. On the bright side, new distribution channels will make it so that non-broad-appeal shows like fi

Great examples. I think the most successful web businesses will be those that enhance one's "real" life.

I'm fascinated by businesses that still deal in physical goods or services, but are enabled because of the web. The two best examples being netflix and city carshare-type businesses.
