I had a similar emotional reaction to the boat. I don't know the first thing about yacht design so I'm really out on a limb here, and I don't think I would go so far as to say "ostentatious" or "gaudy" although there were a few things that

Props for putting a compelling spin ("WWPGD") on a rather mundane function (searching a back catalog). Marketing FTW! :-)

There is definitely room for innovation in the blog tools/publishing/server space, the big question for you to be comfortable with is whether or not the space is big enough for another player. I launched a new blogging platform in the early

That's actually not the case. Godaddy implements this locally, and arguably in contravention of the ICANN policy. oBDisclaimer: I participated in the development of the original and amended ICANN transfer policy. I understand that there has

RIM is spending a lot of time designing an OS that will appeal to everyone. I think they are going to find its going to be used by no one. Even here in Canada they are losing core enterprise customers left and right. Without these core supp

Guy worked at Apple for four years. In the eighties. I think his opinions on IOS are about as important as mine. Or yours. Well, maybe a bit more than ours, he worked there for 4 years. In the eighties.

Some day I'll understand the real connection between what I write and how people mod it. I was really just trying to say that I didn't think at all that it was a very readable document and that if you read through it, the whole "Starts with

This is anything by easily readable. Ugh. And its not even internally consistent - somewhere down the scroll, the questions fade away and are replaced by the same old lawyer-ism that characterizes most TOS. I recently re-wrote ours to be mo

I couldn't agree more. We're in Toronto and I'm often left scratching my head asking "Why" after reading Techcrunch, HN and other startup-centric sources. If you aren't solving a problem for a customer, then you are wasting effort. Problems

oh, and regarding #3 - strava is good fun and bragging rights and mostly useless for any training purposes. If I understand your purpose correctly, you are really targeting a training segment, not a riding segment so Strava probably isn't a

Let me think about some ideas for #2, re: #1 and #4, I only know of maybe 5 cyclists in all my circles of cycling mates that use power (out of probably hundreds) and power meters always cost $2k every year the same way a great bike always c

There's definitely an opportunity to disrupt in this segment, although focusing on power is going to substantially limit your market appeal. For example, I'm a record holding cyclist and I've never trained power.

Ugh. I don't know about the rest of you - that post felt patronizing. This stuff is complicated enough without layering on massive metaphors that shudder under the weight of the context they are trying to convey. It would be awesome if some

Quit is great advice. Don't try and solve this, its his problem, not yours. And unless you want blood in the water (or a severance check) don't try and coach him on this. I'm guessing that the CEO is younger and lacks the experience and sea

We just launched a redesign today that features a new presentation of our TOS ( http://hover.com/tos ). We take a lot of pride in making all aspects of our service as useful as we can and didn't want our legalese to be the exception to that

If your prospects are going to screw that up with a web form then I'd say some or all of these things are true; a) your licensing model is too complicated. b) your web forms aren't usable c) your website isn't helpful enough And before I ge

Well, its probably a bit early to say this was a talent acquisition. Pivotal is a real company with customers and revenue that could be attractive to any number of larger companies on the basis of any of their assets.

What a disappointing step for Y!'s new CEO to take. Yahoo! is a media company, Facebook is a networking/platform company. They should be looking for ways to work together and build value instead of attacking each other and destroying it. To

namecheap primarily operates as a reseller for enom. You'd be subject to 3 layers of policy (registry, registrar, reseller) + ICANN regulation + the laws in the various jurisdictions. Find something cleaner if you are worried about your dom
