Great points! You perfectly summed up all top-of-mind issues with this idea. All of this was running through my head as I was cobbling together this shoddy landing page. (Btw, I just posted the question on Ask HN, is it ok if I reply there?

Thanks for the encouraging words. ok, maybe I should post a Ask HN to get feedback on this, so that I don't interrupt this discussion. However I do want to ask you if you believe that someone could be incentivized to bring a TV from A

Very good suggestions and thank you for the encouragement. About your point 'set up a service for these people to sell their goods to Americans.' - Never thought about this. So you are saying that there be dedicated businesses sel

Reports of Google's decline are greatly exaggerated :) G+ is annoying, but these days no large company can make all their users happy, with all their products/features/changes, all the time. The so-called erosion of 'Don

Nice post. Summary: Find your voice (Be authentic). High quality visuals. Give reasons for others to care about (or subscribe to) your blog. Get noticed by influencers. I hope this is accurate. Also, one more implicit take-away: make sure r

You are right. An unrelated query: does anyone know of companies (like Streak.com) using app engine datastore in production? We are newbie programmers, and developing our app on app engine (because it was easy to learn) - but it feels a bi

Well done to you guys. This is a very good idea. I can see many potential extensions and applications. I was asking myself if this would have been as cool had this been just an LCD screen? Does this look cool because there is something exci

Cool piece of work. Guess it would be good if I can record my handwritten signature once and have it included on my mails or letters everytime I compose one? Something like Gmail in the settings panel?
