   Couldn't the point be made that those founders who don't present themselves well, might have a bit more trouble presenting their startup to customers? i.e. They can't sell themselves well, so it could be argued that they might have trouble

   This is a concept that interests me... where are you in Iowa? I'm in Lincoln, Nebraska.

   I do love that quote and I find that it's true that customers don't know what they want. But what that quote tells us is that the customer's problem is speed . That is the value of talking to customers, not asking them what they want, but

   I feel like one of the few who sees the emperor with no clothes. Let me first start by stating that I do believe that touchscreen devices will continue to revolutionize industries, as they already have. But, why in God's name are Microsoft

   Please accept this in a sincere and non-adversarial tone. You don't need 2.5 years of a salary and full-time. Thinking that you need that is just an excuse. What you need is to set your priorities and be able to find a way to work an hour o

   I think that a lot of folks get really caught up in competition. Big deal. Competition drives innovation. If there is a market, competitors will come regardless. I'd almost argue that competition can validate a market. I believe that if bus

   The site looks great! However, what I'd really love to see in a platform is not advance trading features, but an easy way to convert USD to BTC and vice versa. I realize that this is a real challenge given the anonymity provided by the Bitc

    I really enjoy this series and they do a good job of writing about the companies. However, I don't think it's fair to call companies that took an angel investment as being "bootstrapped." What does the rest of HN think? Is that being pedant

    Might I ask, how did you shut that off? I don't see any configuration option in the System Preferences - Time Machine about snapshotting every hour. Thanks.

    Has anyone investigated something like this to publish eBooks on the web? It looks this could make reading an eBook easy on the web. What are your thoughts?

    Your post comes off as complaining. 70 MB of RAM? I'll bet you have at least 1 GB. RAM is meant to be used. An alarm clock? Then download an alarm clock app if that's what you want. Do you want a kitchen sink too?

    I tether on iOS 4.0... but can someone explain the difference to me between the "personal hotspot" feature in the 4.3 iOS release and tethering in previous versions? Do you still have to pay the extra AT&T fee for the personal hotspot f

    I realize that you're joking, but I think it's really important to point out that Paul was backing the team more than the idea. At least that's how I read it. Team > Idea.

    The submitter's title is completely misleading. The main is that if you've heard about it on TV then it's too not late. Not just "heard about it" in general.

    His opening thesis starts out strong. But his language bashing is too myopic. It's a shame to read some of these points from such a well respected computer scientist. I guess it just shows that we're all capable of being human.
