My startup will apparently be worth $36 million in August 2011... total BS. The entire YouNoodle process feels like a phishing scam.

I wonder if Cuil really intended to attract this much attention so early. Everyone and their mother was talking about it. Kevin Rose twittered it, it was all over FF, and it made the front page of HN, Digg, reddit, TC, etc. They even had a

We are not really in a recession btw, and as Fred Wilson pointed out in the comments, there are indeed many companies that are building for the long-term. Those companies just don't generate that much buzz because they are focused on making

The topic of simplified browsing targeted solely to old people comes up all the time with my parents and friends' parents. From what I've collected, old people say they want easier this and that, but when it comes down to it, the individual

Interesting... 5 minutes ago I had my first experience with Beacon while purchasing tickets for the new Batman movie on Fandango. I used to think Beacon was creepy, but now that I've actually seen it in action I think it's a fun little feat

I was surprised to see Justine's first post amidst the top discussion on Techmeme. I don't think Loopt was intentially trying to trick people, but I don't understand why they weren't more prepared/careful/clear about this (especially for a

This is a pretty pointless debate, but Nova's blog actually supports PG's outlook that the web is gradually evolving. Nova acknowledges that Google and Powerset are pretty semantic already. Recommendation 'engines' have also been evolving s

I wouldn't blame the designers directly. In my experience designers tend to be pressured into trendy styles. The 37signals look just happens to be what's in right now.

I also agree that "web 3.0" has already lost it's credibility and is reserved for random bloggers' stupid predictions about the future of the web.

You live in Dallas right? Good luck finding anyone here that hasn't been raised to climb the corporate ladder. I'm still in school, but I also find it pretty depressing to be around so many people that don't like thinking big or taking risk

This just happened to me too. Though after the update it automatically did a factory restore... is that supposed to happen? http://thestandard.com/news/2008/07/11/breaking-iphone-purch... Apple totally blew it today.

This looks like an interesting new way for indie artists to make some dough, but like someone already pointed out, they still need money for decent equipment, studio time, and mixing and mastering (at least) before their stuff is even worth

Emphasis on mostly. I'm just speaking from my personal experience with friends who are marines that describe the Battle of Fallujah as the best video game ever. Don't get me wrong, I respect those who serve in the military. I could never d

This is the direction the automobile industry needs to take. Instead of trying to make the same old cars run on different energy sources like ethanol, electricity, etc., design new cars that will run on existing sources of energy more effic

It seats 2, but the passenger sits directly behind the driver bobsled style, which is kind of cool perhaps.

I agree. Iraq is no Vietnam. Iraq doesn't affect anyone in the US except for the volunteer military made up of mostly people who are more than happy to be there, so the harsh reality is that no one cares. I know if you asked the students at

I don't understand why every article cites that twitterers tweet 15 times a day on average. That is total BS, unless they are counting 1 tweet to 15 followers as 15 tweets. Maybe my sample is bad, but I would assert that Scoble and Arringto

I think the name is definitely memorable and fitting. 1 shirt = 2 nipples x 100 = 200 nipples, duh. I really like the counters. They add suspense and excitement for some reason.
