Usually a fervent supporter of technology over anything, but I think I'd rather have that "huge calendar on the wall with a big red marker" than an iPhone (or web) app. It's big. You wake up every day looking at it. And it brings us back in

As an Arab (Egyptian), what amazes me is the audacity of the leaders. The refusal to grant any wishes to the people, the sense of entitlement and "owning" the country, and the absolute ignorance most live in after believing in their own lie

30 hours (claimed) battery life? That sounds ridiculous. How close (or far away) to the truth is that? Anybody know more?

Keep in mind that the Internet is in English and English is quickly becoming the World's main language. Then, think about the millions of tourists who come to Egypt every year. The educated speak English; the un-educated can say English phr

Necessary correction. Don't compare it to a foreign language in the United States, even if it's Spanish. Egypt's much closer to other countries and has a huge tourism sector. Knowing a "foreign" language is vital; virtually everyone knows h

It's estimated that 10,000 people have been arrested. It's likely that most are still hidden away by the Interior Ministry. The fact that we had a face for this guy, and a title, and a link to a major corporation (that then asked for his re

Regardless of the actual demo, this is a very important task and I like how Lacy described their aspirations: There’s that almost hubristic mission: To fix how people work together and make the global work place a better, more efficient, l

Someone asked where these druggies moved after these photos were taken. I just said there are still areas in New York City that can have these characters. I was responding to that specific question. It's not like you can't find druggies on

So far they'd paid themselves nothing, but starting in 2011 they'll all receive $20,000 a year. Really glad the interview included this. It's one of those details you don't hear about much in company profiles.

TechCrunch's audience isn't all-encompassing. If they didn't respond and you have a stellar product, just contact their chief competitors. I'm sure they'd love to profile you. GigaOM, TheNextWeb, Mashable, ReadWriteWeb, etc. Tech news isn't

It's not like that. I offer you $150k to take anytime within the next few months. You can take them now...or wait and see if you get a better deal in a few weeks. The $150k is still here. For you, if you need it. Just don't rush is all I'm

Student here. What confuses me is why 90% of the companies, according to TechCrunch, took the funding. From what it seems like, the $150k is for each YC company to decide upon. Why now? Surely most (if not all) YC companies don't need an ad
