An idea I will throw out there: I always wondered why anyone should be able to hold onto an idea (patent it) if they don't use it. I can't help but wonder if the best way to fix the patent system isn't to overhaul it -- which would be nearl

I think what he is saying is that the agreement with Apple says we can't form legal agreements that include Apple's SDK and APIs, which in app purchase is apart of. This could or could not be covered under those mechanisms. You might be rig

They have to. How many people over 30 are willing to quit their family and community for 3 months to go live, eat and breath YC? I would love to be in a YC environment. The people you'd meet and the experience would be unbelievable. But I'm

This is a small feature but could be an indicator of very big things for Apple. If the iCloud rumors are true then there could be a huge opportunity for keeping your desktop and smartphone/tablet in sync, and this would be a big advantage f

I think this was written up here on Hacker News a few weeks ago but it is relevant for this discussion and thought I'd link to it if anyone is interested. It is 24,000 five-letter domain names that are available: http://www.kevinohashi.com

Why does any if this matter, bubble or not? The tech community has spent an inordinate amount of time discussing it. What I see is a lot of companies building businesses the right way -- customers first. If the funding dies down, which it w

IBM is a services company now, though, and Apple is a products company. Those two numbers aren't really, hmm, apples to apples comparable.

We actually had some winners in the 90s but many of them either lost their winnings in the dot bomb or never invested in other companies. A few of those winners are guiding their second or third start-ups, too.

Excellent answer. Companies need capital and product and customers. Figure out which ones the rest of your team aren't bringing and bring it.

I'm in Portland, Oregon, and think this is actually the biggest problem with our start-up culture. There just aren't enough people who have been there/done that before that are investing in the next generation. There are investors around an

Does anyone know what happens to video uploaded through Blogger? Google says it puts it in Google Video but there is no options for me to download the video that has been uploaded. I'd email Google but... oh ya... They don't do support.

Twitter is beyond the scale of most businesses. This -- whether Scala or Java or PhP or RonR or Python -- is the best choice for our code base generating millions of hits per day is a problem many of us would love to have!

Apple's events are almost always an hour. With that in mind, it is hard to see how any of these hardware announcements, event LTE, would take up an hour long presentation.

I don't think it is on purpose. I don't really pay attention, either. But the people you naturally find and the people who get read the most are the ones who have been around the longest and therefore get their posts on the front page. It's
