They did make sense. Cobook, sparrow, etc. There was one that surprised me at first. I think it was Xcode.

It was really annoying on the first run. Tons of apps were asking for my permission to access my contacts. (And by tons I mean 6 or 7).

They are pretty cool for mid-size groups. They won TechCrunch 50 (or were a finalist) the year I went.

What he is really saying: Yahoo employees, we are hiring right NOW. NOW is the time to send us your resume. Did I mention we are hiring?

The outrage over this seems rediculous to me. How many people complaining about email open tracking are also Sendgrid customers? Use email newsletter service? Your emails may have open tracking (including who opened it) without you even kno

Ok, it may have been tongue-in-cheek, but I was serious. I love that there are so many great cloud hosting solutions now. I honestly don't want to run servers.

Generally speaking, you don't want to run a server.

This is not a very cohesive argument. Basically he is suggesting that we are going to see tiered pricing in all retail, but doesn't explain what the tiers will be based on. A more likely scenario? Price will equal convenience. Retail stores

For the record, I received a call from them last week too and didn't return it and have not been cut off.

The challenge is that we are in Nashville, TN - a city owned by the recording industry. The good news is that he is a pretty smart guy and has a solid understanding of financial issues. I think talking about the impact to the tech industry

You can say that. Like stonemetal said, you don't want to throw out the first numbers, but you can say: "I am looking for a salary that is consistent with the responsibilities and duties of the position." Good employers know that if they r

Your salary this year isn't nearly as important as it seems right now.

I am in a pretty similar boat (analytics, coder, understand business side). I am the sole founder of bizen.com. Went through Jumpstart Foundry in Fall 2010. It is hard going it alone. I think that I will succeed, but having a co-founder (es

That founder number changes quite a bit if there was investment capital involved, whereas the employee percentages stay about the same.

There have been several comments on here lately that make me realize how few people actually understand how equity works in startups. I mean, if people are shocked to learn about preferred stock, what would they think about participating pr

I see it in finiteness devices. It allows you to integrate things like heart rate monitors and cadence sensors on bicycles or running shoes with watches and smartphones. Once a device has ANT+, it is the logical tool for data transfer as we

Why would you need fewer sales people to sell this model than to sell Groupon? Restaurant and retail shop owners are not the easiest group to get ahold of, and they are suffering from pitch fatigue as everyone and their brother tries to sel

Seems like a missed opportunity to me. Lots can be done with "magic methods" for models. Not sure how hard that is in a PECL extension.

I was really hoping this was a CrunchBase replacement. $10 for a link to my startup ( http://bizen.com )? No thanks!

Starring works? I don't think opening a message and then moving it to the "starred" folder works. The android app allows you to star directly from the message list. The great thing is that if people want a minimal mail app, Mail will be the

Why do you say it drains your battery like crazy? I am not saying it doesn't, but I haven't noticed it. Doesn't iOS now have a location service that will update apps of your location without running the app constantly in the background?

I completely agree. I have been saying for a year that FB would never release an iPad app unless they had a deal with Apple to have the native app be able to set cookies in Safari. The good news is that I was wrong. I downloaded the app and
