I assume you know this already, but you can apply for a session even if you've already started a project. If you're nervous about starting a project because of needing money you should either do what agotterer suggested in fund raising, or

I'm not a YC founder but I got an individual plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield (MN) through ehealthinsurance.com. It is an excellent plan (so far) and wasn't nearly what I was expecting to pay (<$150/mo).

I think the author spun his article with the concept that a Mac is 'better'. In my opinion the real point of the article should have been that Apple is branding their products as 'premium'. Just like anything in life just because someone

I have the same configuration and love it. But will second the strange keyboard layout. I had lunch with a Mac user and the first thing he said when he saw the keyboard was "that keyboard frightens me". I couldn't have said it any better

Honestly I can understand zillow's side here but I'm just curious. Shouldn't the original use of izillow.com been grounds for trademark enforcement? The only thing I think is less than savory is that now, when you have your own iPhone app

I would say references are a good start. If they are respected by their peers and customers that's going to be a good sign. The other thing is obviously their track record. If they've done good things in the past like increase sales x% o

I was faced with the exact same scenario as you about a month and a half ago. At that time the economy was bad but the massive layoffs hadn't really started in earnest. I had been toying with the idea of just leaving cold turkey but the lo

If your idea truly is great you have absolutely nothing to lose by applying. If your idea is accepted you still have the option of declining the funding, requirements to move, etc... But if your idea is accepted then it obviously has some

I agree with your statement in principle, the problem arises when there may be warranted negative publicity involving one of their paid advertisers. Obviously as a business owner you don't want to jeopardize your source of income, but as a

I personally like my Aeron chair for 2 reasons. 1, because of it's mesh material. I can sit in it for extended periods of time and not have much fatigue or get sweaty like I can with some of those pleather chairs that you have to assemble

Do you use the different browsers to test functionality or because different sites you visit function better with each browser? Just curious, as I pretty much only use FF3, but I will test my sites on FF3, Safari, Chrome, Opera, IE6 and IE

I looked at this and think I'll use this for timetracking/invoicing, but from everything I've read it doesn't handle accounting tasks. One of the reasons I'd like a full accounting application is to have it estimate my quarterly taxes (so
