While it's done a lot of good for making things safe to eat and is a necessary public service I'm going to have to say that currently: ...The FDA sucks... You need millions in legal/preparation fees just to get your foot in the door and the

Regardless of how you may feel about this team, this project, or the interesting name, it's at least clear there's some real momentum for an anti-facebook social network alternative. This group seems to have some good energy but I agree w

First of all NoSQL isn't really that hard and the performance gains are indisputable. For a bootstrapped startup nosql makes total sense b/c you get much more performance for your dollar. Sure you can go the vanilla PHP/MySql or Django/Post

First off - good for you for realizing that a decent design goes a long way in promoting your brand/product.. Check out http://sortfolio.com by 37Signals. Good designers are hard to find and even harder to contract. Good designers that ar

Is there a way to hide the left hand column? I actually find it really distracting. Also in FF 3.6.3 the text is not centered vertically in the search box. It's an FF CSS issue. I've seen it a few times before.

Well you make a good point but I'd argue that most web apps are easily adjusted to work well using Safari even on something the size of an iPhone. Take Hacker News for example - half the time I'm reading/commenting on my iPhone even though

The web is the closest we've ever come to a standards compliant universal platform that is write once - works everywhere, period. Last time I checked you have to be a paid member and go through an oft-criticized approval process to develop

Why do people automatically assume this has anything to do with journalism? What if it's about one company illegally obtaining the trade secrets of another and then releasing that trade secret to a global media? The whole thing smelled fish

Your closest match might be Hubspot.com. I'm not sure how different your approach is but it seems like you're going after similar target markets. They seem a little more traditional of course - webinars and white papers abound on their site

The video is cool but I really want to see some screenshots or a video of the app in action. Right now your landing page is kind of a black box and I can't see what's inside without signing up.. I'm also not sure who your target market is.

+1 Yep.. Facebook doesn't own my 'real' inbox - Google does - and that's why I'll continue to use Google docs. Yet another careless move by the Ballmer administration.

We'd have more research if it was legal to begin with.. Kind of sad that people are put in this position b/c of the taboo surrounding marijuana. Given all the usual side effects, including death, caused by legal drugs you'd think this was a

Completely 100% agreed. Apple already knows this which is why is makes such heavy use of animations and lavish graphics in its UIs.

Not that I don't applaud the effort but it's kind of awkward/clunky to drag & drop from the desktop to a browser window..

The problem is Apple has no real competition. They can do almost anything they want without fear of retribution because your average consumer has no idea what any of this means. That's bad news for all us pissed off developers since Apple's

So if there's a hardware component you're going to need capital which means at least that you'll need to talk to a few angel investors.. The fact that someone's done your idea is a good thing. You want to make sure you have product/market f

I think that building web apps that look/feel like desktop apps is a step in the wrong direction. Some of the best web apps around like Gmail, Maps, Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress etc represent a complete break from traditional desktop softwa

And they say ideas are a dime a dozen.. Yeah they are.. but good ideas are not.. It's all about execution right? Not exactly. As this list proves: good ideas are hard to find, don't like to be let out of their secret boxes and don't exactly

You simply can't ignore the force with which the iPad will reshape the tech industry for decades to come. Would you have said the same thing about the Mac in 1984? Well this is that big of a deal. It's going to reshape the way we interface

There are and I've been to a few but I'm guessing it doesn't compare to a meetup in San Fran or Boston. Anyone else care to comment on this..? 5 hours on the 5 to SF and 4 hours to Palo Alto isn't that far =)
