It actually sounds really close to the reality. It surprised me years ago when I would come to conferences here...but it really is just part of the culture. I think it has a lot to do with just how down-to-earth most people are in Silicon V

Amazing product. We're building an eCommerce platform ( http://www.kout.me ) and have been building our payments on top of stripe. Very amazing concept and something that we've needed for a long time. The best thing is the developer focus b

Reminds me of what Paul Graham once said: Offer surprisingly good customer service. Customers are used to being maltreated. Most of the companies they deal with are quasi-monopolies that get away with atrocious customer service. Your own

If this is true - and it sounds really plausible especially in the Middle East - I fear for how much of a step backwards this is going to be, especially with the Arab Spring going forward.

I wouldn't say "completely out of the window" simply because the alternatives still don't come close to Al Jazeera's lack of bias. It's of interesting timing - this ousting - especially with the theatre that we're about witness at the UN.

Arrington leaving will create a void in technology news-covering. Say what you want, but he's had terrific scoops, amazing interviews, and elevated the status of startups in the press. But what do you expect from Arianna and AOL? He'll have

Faced similar situation. My thoughts (based on my very limited experience) are that East Coast VCs seem to be more risk-averse. Which makes sense. It's easier to be more risky when you know investors down the street who have made 1000x with

A lot of people questioned whether or not there was a market for a CrunchPad, or a cheap entry tablet. Looks like this will validate that. Now, if only webOS could chime in and make this an interesting battle. That would be special.

I'm personally not a YC founder, but I have gone through another high-profile accelerator. In the vast majority of cases, the "rules" are just a starting guideline. There are always exceptions. Just like there have been (rare) cases of si

I'd like to know exactly where Arrington is coming from with the prices he has mentioned. Without providing evidence, he did say that there is a strong possibility of these devices being made at the prices he has mentioned. It would be a lo

It seems I'm in the minority here, but I really like what Arrington is saying. People will pay $100-$200 for a dedicated eBook reader. As much as I love my iPad, it does come with a few extra things that one doesn't necessarily need. There'

Great perspective. It's a topic I've thought about personally. Forget all the marketing gimmicks and terms like "third-device" or "post pc device". For me - and this obviously is just my own perspective - tablets are absolutely fantastic fo

I'd stop thinking of how to increase your Karma points and just participate on the site. Share cool things (read guidelines for what's appropriate) and contributing to conversations with insightful comments.

Semi-related comment but...we need a HN-like site for Economics. I believe there was something like that before, but I'm not sure what happened to it. Anyone interested in starting something like that on the side as a hobby?
