Why not? If they can get someone who knows C#, more power for them. The faster for the new guy to adapt with the code given he/she knew Java/C#. Java is a language close to C#. I still don't understand your objection. Product Managers and

So let me see. Xobni showed Khosla people that they have some "cool" desktop app (or plugin, whatever) and Khosla Ventures love it and thought that it has a huge growth potential so they gave them money (in the area of millions). I think t

Why are these "red flags" Devs with C#/Java background a red flag? Why is that? Should they use Ruby or Python for the desktop app that supports Outlook as a plugin instead of C#? If they haven't launched and they got financial backing (hug

Perhaps it's only in Silicon Valley. The place where I live, people don't care of Apple or Web 2.0 that much. They use computer to browse news, check e-mail, YouTube and Friendster/Facebook/MySpace because they can see the hottest chicks or

Actually those technical books you mentioned are always around Web Development, Ruby on Rails, HTML/CSS. Most of Web Designers have background in Graphics Design. Graphics Design use Mac. Ruby on Rails developers (most of them) use Mac tha

I would like to know more about the overall architecture especially with their backend written in C# rather than Ruby.

No, PHP isn't dead. But most people here won't be a great company either because they chose RoR/Python because of the hype.

There's a truth in SteveB words. Nokia is currently the #1 mobile vendor because they sell very (VERY) cheap mobile phone in Asia (especially Hong Kong and South East Asia countries). Those countries have billions citizens compare to North

This is interesting. Another YCombinator startup using Microsoft technology alongside of Xobni, Loopt. Microsoft is Dead?

The first question is...who competes with Google in this space? I doubt Yahoo! would do that. I doubt Oracle is. I doubt eBay is. Apple is a long shot. Microsoft has Office Live and well.. Office 2003/2007. Other web 2.0 companies focus th

Weird, the first 3 Google showed me who Kyle Shank is: http://canadaonrails.com/speakers/show/7 Apparently he's the lead of RadRails and other projects.

That maybe because Uncov people (or person?) have technical background. Even though TC and GO did post negative reviews, usually they're not that striking. But TC and GO mostly hyped things up with weak reasoning. I remember back then when

Well we have Techcrunch and GigaOm already. What wasn't there yet was a blog like Uncov. I'll give you +1 because I agree with your last statement that one of these startups will be successful. But out of x YComb startups, there will be ple

Good point jkush. But then I suppose RoR is only good for one-off kind web-app?

Sorry I couldn't resist to reply. I just checked xobni job page and was surprised that they're looking for someone with C# knowledge. I assume they're building something based on ASP.NET ? (or at least .NET technology) So right now the list

I think this is a little bit ironic. One of Paul's YCombinator companies, Loopt.com is using Microsoft/IIS 6.0 and Paul has been touting them to be one of the best of his startup investments. I agree with you on this one Paul, Loopt.com is

He made a point when he said that these web 2.0 companies don't generate profits as much as MS smallest business units. Last night a friend of mine said this to me: "these websites will be empty places 5 to 10 years later". That pretty much

May I know whom attacking MS Office? Last time I checked, none of the online web two point ooh software can open big documents. These web-apps only match probably 20% of MS Office features and it's simply not enough these days when people

Paul, I think you're being an ignorant a little bit in this case. Have you seen how Microsoft become the second major player in the game industry behind Sony PS brand? I think right now more people own XBOX 360 compare to Sony PS3. Of cours
