I don't know the full story from a direct source, but I heard that thieves saw him withdrawing money from the bank, and they were waiting for him in his hotel room when he arrived. And they killed him in the process of taking the money. Who

Or a link to your website that redirects to the manual. So if the manual is moved, your app does not break.

Because a website is inconvenient and user unfriendly compared to a native app on the iPhone or iPad.

But why would companies care about their manuals being in users hands? Imagine the app launches first, then starts negotiating with the companies - I doubt that one would get sued.

Someone take this idea and apply: iPad Software that mums can use to do some elementary diagnoses on the various illnesses that their children can get, get to talk to other people about it and recommend doctors/medicines. Or how about this:

What's impressive about Kanye is that when he reached the peak of the particular art form he was in (his music), he was willing to start on a whole new art form, where it was sure that he would initially have to go through a pain process. T

$1000 is not hard to beat at all. I used to work on rent a coder back in the day and I made $2000 easily with two weeks of dedicated work. I would suggest also building some easy web based tools that does something for which there is a clea

This is what I believe also. I think the iPad will be useful as a mobile touch panel for a larger device behind it like a home, factory, machine or internet based thingy.

The most intelligent people are rarely thick skinned. And to be and stay famous, you have to be pretty thick skinned.

No, it's different. In second life you meet with and talk with someone. You do a little mini-interview, and then typically you test one sample of his work (I have a native speaker friend for each of my languages). Then he does the work, we

mturk does not work for translations. You get about 80% machine translated stuff.

Are you giving away only your books, or are you also giving up programming? Did you recently find your faith, or why did you decide to go for theology?

Seeing as we have two totally different results from different people, my conclusion is that even though the madlibs style can improve your conversion rate, it's too easy to get it wrong and actually reduce your conversion rate. The majorit

What I will give my employees when I get to that point is this: job stability, a job guarantee of a certain fixed period, and set them up as they leave to start their own business. I learnt that from my parents. If someone is leaving your c

This is why I laugh at all the offers from startups I often see (and a very few times get). There is no reason at all for me to work at a startup. There is no money in it, and the founders will often be unprofessional and petty, fighting ea

You know before everybody runs off and starts using this, can we have some independent tests? Remember that "Follow me on twitter here" thing, I don't think it was ever proven that it actually worked apart from the original article, but sud

I like it. Nice website, native apps are fast. A suggestion: Allow different widgets to be importable, so that I can do windows styles apps, mac style apps, etc.

My citation says that there are 6 in asian and 2 in Africa. How is this false? And Iraq has way more than 1000+ deaths a year. Living in Africa does not make you an authority. Point to some proof for your statements.

Citation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_conflicts For people like you who want to believe that Africa is in a war, no citation will do most likely. The Asian wars are killing a hell of a lot more people than the African war

That's pretty cool. So all I need to do is to get a friend of mine to register as an Angel, then give him 100k I've got my Visa. A lot of people can raise 100k - this seems like it would cause a lot of immigration to happen.

If I would chart the timedate of when various yc people or companies get followed by the ycombinator account, I bet I would have a lot of information about what is currently happening at the office. But I'm too lazy and I don't really care.

Of the ongoing conflicts with 1000+ deaths per year, 6 are in Asia and only 2 are in Africa. And of those two the sudanese war, which has only resulted in ~2,500 deaths I'm not sure can be called a war. Compare those with the wars of the 70
