   Yep, saves them from having to pay for a CDN. The saddest part is that they didn't have UPNP/NAT-PMP to punch holes in the firewall for upload so you still got crappy download speeds. I'm not 100% sure if this was ever fixed.

   Take reddit non-profit and have pledge drives a la wikipedia. Reddit is useful enough to be considered a common good/ public property.

   > he says iTunes music is DRM'd (I don't think it is any more) No more DRM but they do stamp info about you into the metadata so you can be tracked down if you happen to share the files. Amazon doesn't do this.

    One of the smartest things my parents did was never put a TV or computer in my bedroom. That kept me from being up all hours of the night leaving me exhausted for school the next day. I don't think I'd be the person I am today without a co

    Well, I wish you the best of luck. Reddit is awesome. I wish it could just be taken non-profit and run it like like wikipedia with a fundraiser every year to keep it going.

    Since you don't have comments enabled on your blog -- I have to ask; why do you think these purchases were "unauthorized"? There was another article about this on HN. Do you not know what an in-app purchase is and how it works?

    Just curious -- why don't you start a new company? It's obvious that your work isn't being respected by your current employers. Does reddit mean a lot to you personally?

    I don't know if they do keyword blocking, but there is a lot of manual spam filtering via the 'flag' link. Usually I check the profile of the user who submitted it to see how long they've been active and what their karma is before hitting '

    There's something there, edit your profile and change showdead to yes. It probably got flagged as spam due to the spammy name of the URL.

    Their main problem is that their release cycles are too long across all of their product lines. It takes a year for Microsoft to release a minor revision to Windows Mobile 6. In a year, Apple releases a major revision to iOS. Google relea

    The only question mark is in the title... Apply anyway. Most companies will take years of experience over a degree (or at least some schooling).
