Never been to the Alamo, but I imagine the process of kicking someone out who is using his/her cell phone during a movie must be quite distracting to everyone else, no?

What about the fact that in order to turn on a device, say a toaster, there needs to be some minimal current flowing to relay the "on" signal to the rest of the machinery?

This is an interesting article that sort of answers a question I've had for a while: would the quality of Hacker News remain the same without the novelty of individual karma points? PG mentions that people seeing "...their reputation in the

Easily the best tutorial out there. Michael Hartl holds your hand the entire time as you learn the different parts and syntax of the framework. This was my lifeline as I developed my MVP.

As someone who kind of regrets going to a "brand" school, I think you are in an industry where portfolio and internships matter more so than what school you went to. If money isn't an issue, then try and get into a "brand" school. If it is,

Yeah, although I wonder how many wedding planners exist in a given locale assuming most wedding couples seek local planners? It might be overkill if you can see the portfolio of a NY planner when, in fact, you are living in Omaha and are mo

While this isn't direct feedback to your idea (which sounds interesting I must say), this is what I would personally want: Is there a site that acts like a marketplace for wedding planners? I'm pretty far from when I'll actually get married

Haha this is so awesome and creative. Way to take a completely buzz-kill page and turn it into something fun and (perhaps) useful.

When I was new to the game, a quick-and-dirty strategy I was taught was to figure out which board had the better strategic positioning within the first 15 moves. Then, the player whose board was not the "good" board, would assume a turtle r

I'm in the same boat. Someone told me about http://www.crowdspring.com/ but I've never used it. Might be worth a shot?

This is pretty standard advice, but find forums, blogs, clubs for book-lovers. They can help promote for you (if they like your idea). Pitch to them like you would any VC or angel investor but cater to their passion for books. Where do peop

Learn whatever you need that will get you to your goal with the most satisfaction. If you want to make iPhone apps, obj-c is probably the way to go. If you want to go into Android development, Java is solid. If you like the web sphere Ruby

Mine used to be Engadget, but the comment quality is simply awful on the website with flame wars springing up every which way. I think some of the top-level editors of Engadget left to start The Verge. Because of this, the actual product re

I think specs are important on products that are configurable. You measure the value of, say, a computer by the individual parts used to assemble the product. You remove and replace any of those parts, the value immediately changes. Ipods,

Yes that font is much better over the cursive one, both in terms of readability and cleanliness. If you do use any cursive fonts, please do not bold the letters as everything looks mashed together. Other than that, everything looks great an

Indeed...it's really difficult (in time measures) for doctors or physicians to reach a level of familiarity with the patient on par with the relationship the patient has with his/her family, friends, etc. This inability to do so often leads

Thanks for sharing. It's always nice to hear the tale from the side that didn't get in. By the way, I've seen one or two outdoor advertising startups pop up here and there over the last year or so ... which means your original idea may have

Learning is one of the biggest parts of an entrepreneur's "skills," so there's no reason you can't utilize that at Apple.

What about the job environments? Which one do you feel more comfortable working in? Even if there were a right or wrong answer regarding which position will launch your "career to [the] next level", you could still flounder in one place if

clickable: http://startups.org/ Very clean interface. Love that. Should the co-founder list get long, would someone have to scroll and read through all the entries? I think adding some quick fields like "Technical/Non-technical" or langua

Maybe pivoting? Deviating from the original idea can be a hard choice, especially if all the work up till now has gone towards the original. I think pivoting is one of the most difficult obstacles an entrepreneur faces, not just from a tech

A million dollars isn't cool, you know what's cool? Not a billion dollars. But yeah I always wondered what the threshold of wealth is when you literally can do anything you want without any thought to how much.

Fixing bugs isn't sexy, but it's a pretty good place to start to familiarize yourself with the open-source project. As you work through the source code tracking functions, you'll be able to see different parts of the project, and ultimately
