Agreed, but this: "all the Valley insiders they've gotten to use it." is a big one. Social sites are generally winner-take-all. You use it because of who's on it. To me, most of the points that Scoble mentions are a result of the quality of

For me, Linux didn't cut it with application support to become my primary OS. Even dual-boot was a hassle. Microsoft Office, Adobe CS, Solidworks, ACAD, etc. aren't supported, and although Ubuntu has come a long way so far, the UX is still

I've got a http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-UL80JT-A1-14-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp... , which looks like equivalent specs but on a 14 inch screen. It's been great so far (had it for almost a year), and IMO what an ultralight really should be. The bat

This is really cool. As an aside, is it me, or are a disproportionate number of HN-ers also climbers (myself included)? I've seen at least a few threads about climbing the past few weeks, can't say the same for any other sport.

It's querying the UPS tracking API for reference numbers. These are assigned by the shipper (can be a description, customer name, or in this case sequential SKU blocks of 2000) so knowing the pattern would get you all of them. I played arou

I played around with the reference numbers, and it seems like Google sent out 3 batches: AAC1XXXXXX (up to AAC1001982) AAC2XXXXXX (up to AAC2002127) AAC3XXXXXX (up to AAC3002115) All of these turn up 6 pound packages sent within the past fe

My thoughts exactly. I wonder if that's something that can be taught, though, or at least encouraged/nurtured. How did we, as entrepreneurs, get to be this way?

That sounds awesome, and best of luck to you. If you decide to blog your journey, please let us know. I (and I'm sure most people) would love to follow along.
