Yes but they are smaller companies, between 5-20 million annual revenue, and none of them made competitive products. We're a software company, they were device manufacturers. I doubt we'd ever get a fortune 500 company to sign one of our ND

We have basic non-compete language in our NDAs. After some thought I guess it's all about who has more money. If you're dealing with Intel or MSFT then I'm not sure how effective one of our NDAs would be. Still some level of protection migh

We didn't bring an NDA to a meeting with potential partners a few years back. We found out a few months later after not hearing back from them that they were developing a competitive product. It didn't work out for them as it turns out so e

Nice overview. Disadvantages of web app dev was kind of glossed over though. I would add that web app development becomes exponentially more difficult than programming desktop apps when it comes to UX/UI. It's clear that CSS was devised for

Google docs paired with Google chat/talk is still my preferred method of getting things done. In the rare instance I need to search for an interaction it's easy enough to search through my chat history and gmail. I've used Google Wave a few

I think we should look to history to find any clues if Google would release an actual client that would be on par with the dropbox model. They are notoriously reticent to do anything that installs on a client machine, Chrome being an obviou

Dropbox was mentioned 3 times so far in the comments but it does not seem that Google is going to release a windows client that would offer the same functionality.. Still it's an interesting development. Maybe dropbox could respond with add

Oh please. He's quoting patent numbers from Egypt and Saudi Arabia and comparing it to Israel.. It's like comparing US patent numbers to Mexico.. Are you kidding me..? And he praises their prime minister Netanyahu for being an optimist. Net

During a decade of grim foreboding, Israel has become an astonishing success story, but also a highly mobile one. - That pretty much sums it up for me. I'm totally convinced. You guys? Honestly though if we're going to post politically ch

Everything in here sounds believable and I have no doubt that things like that have happened and do continue to happen at FB.. My only problem with this interview is that it seems very scripted.. Either this person had the questions in adva

I was a single founder for a while. I farmed out a few projects and just happened to find a good coder and good person to start a company with.. Maybe it's something that should just happen organically? Has anyone met a cofounder at a mixer

Netflix's on-demand selection does need drastic improvement.. One can find some gems here and there but overall it doesn't touch their DVD selection and we all know that's b/c of the studios. Yes it is too much work to walk down to my mailb

I would say it depends on the type of tech and solution you're dealing with.. If it's an interactive children's book for example then the tech or resources required are minimal and it's more about your unique spin on the product than what's

A sensitive subject to say the least. I find it mind boggling that anyone would want to emulate Israel in any capacity concerning security. They've had suicide bombers in cafes, night clubs, school buses, etc.. and no matter what side of th

I have yet to find a browser with full screen support on OS X - which makes me think it's an OS X limitation.. So odd.. When you have a 13 inch macbook this problem becomes readily apparent.
