Same here. A file that can be copied infinite times without cost is not worth much. I put 2 years of work into a book that gets pirated all the time. I have no problem with it at all. I think we would be better off reevaluating business mod

I don't blame him. He has a celebrity asset. Seems reasonable to cash in.

Not sure why, but I feel reticent to comment on an aggregated link. I think this might be an issue. Not sure why, but I want to know that someone had a stake in the submission.

I wouldn't want to visit that site regularly. It looks nice, but it isn't easy to navigate.

Terrible post, but it's sad to see TC lose its edge so quickly after the AOL acquisition. I'm not sure AOL understands the secret to TC's success.

Ha! I don't want it, but techimps.com is hilarious. Oh geez, textmama.com.

It seems with some work, you could make a program that imitated this well enough that it would be difficult to tell the difference. The fact that the artist noted that it took a human touch suggests to me that they feel a bit vulnerable.

I don't think it is unreasonable to ask people to invest time in the community before they can request the community to invest time evaluating their product.

That and the Dems at least try to fund the growth. Nothing worse than growing the beast and starving it at the same time.

Thanks. That's pretty much my interest. I'm not really concerned about the politics of it. :)

Can anyone give some background on this? I just switched from Windows to Ubuntu, and have just started to familiarize myself with OpenOffice.

This is very true. I would have left Reddit long ago if it weren't for the subReddits. I can still find the site/community that I love at Reddit.com.

Oh cool. Then YC will either pick us, or my friends and I will unceasingly try countless creative ways to change their mind, and they might not all be legal. Your choice, YC. ;)

Applied yesterday. I have a feeling that was a big day for submissions. Hope they get past our video. It was pretty ridiculous.

Why in God's name would I want to see Google's stock chart here on a hover-over?

I believe that was the point. It is a silly question, thus, silly answers.

Wow, seems to be a lot of animosity here. I have a lot of respect for what these guys achieved with Twitter. Although the advice is pretty general, IMO it's not bad advice.

Ha! I am in cancer research and am trying to get into this wacky social-network-hoo-hah business. -I guess I am going to hell. :) Funny thing is, what you are saying has a lot of truth to it. Funding for basic research is low, very competit

I think the UI needs attention most. I want to use it, but I want the searches to be done at once, so I can just skim across the sources. Maybe on hover-over? It would also be good if adding a new engine were easier. The language is a bit c

This is a good move on their part, as it was a big reason why people didn't like Facebook, why I didn't like FB. I am still not getting an account, but one obstacle has been removed.

Honestly, I can't see what the fuss is about. There are plenty of examples of successful companies with founders who could all code, or a mix, and even a couple instances where no founders could code. Do these sweeping generalizations do an

It's funny, but email just wants to be a part of my life. Due to the push notification on my phone, it's almost a feed to me. I mentioned this in the comments on AVC some time ago: I'd like to see an email service where I can modify the sub
