   The cover looks like a manual designed in the MS-DOS era. Something more modern may do better justice to your content. Lose the italic times new roman, try Helvetica. Dog/wolf is giant, this isn't a Jack London novel. I'll design you one i

   Looks like they spent none of their $120MM on that UI. That is rediculous, these VC's must be wildly out of touch.

   If you make a lot of money from it, you can afford to fight it. If not, it's probably not worth it to them to go after you. Maybe you could have a third party see about a licensing fee. If you are taking investment, you better tell them.

    Sure a numbers game, but I know from experience there are people 10x+ better than others at cold calling. Its tough to make one adwords campaign that much better than another.

    Steve got burned a long time ago by MS copying many of Apple's designs. I think anyone in his shoes would go out of their way to not let it happen again.

    If you are receiving unemployment, I can't think of a better time to start your own business. Great companies will be born out of this era that were bootstrapped all the way. I think frugality and a focus on the bottom line is a renewed the

    Fuel required @ rated power: 0.661 MMBtu/hr of natural gas. Rated power output (AC): 100 kW Figure fuel costs of $10 per MMBtu. So it pumps out 100kW/hr electricity for $6.60. ~$0.09/kWh for electricity in Oregon (its double that for NYC).

    Brilliant idea, but how are they going to harvest the shipping data - I don't believe b2b trading is publicly available. Like Apple for instance, I'm sure they have NDA's for all their suppliers. Companies probably treat this as trade secre

    Charging $100 extra per 32GB must be a big money maker for Apple. I just bought a 32GB USB stick off newegg for $70 and considering Apples buying power, it probably costs them a lot less.
