Forget what everyone says, this is still one of my favorite shows on TV just for the entertainment and thrill factor. Besides, I don't think Les Stroud's background and past accomplishments can even compare to that of Bear Grylls. Even if

Buy a Ferrari F430! Actually I'd probably invest in another business first if I had the money. Donating to charities is also a good call, or perhaps helping out your local (young) entrepreneurs who are in need of some financial support. D

Yes, I know he's just Creative Director, but Michael says he's "actively engaged in the business," which is pretty impressive in my opinion. The company seems very promising so far, I love companies that push technology to the next level, o

Man how do you come back to a title like that? You can't even say "your FACE is a peice of shit" because he has that covered too!! I like the article too, though it's a little hostile for my taste.

Kill the other partner. Just kidding, I'd follow the advice of others, either involve a third person or have on person carry slightly more weight in the company (in terms of equity). Just an aside, but you know who I go to when I need advic

In all honesty, for a quick and easy app, sure I would. For anything more complex where performance or scaling is required without hassle, I'd use something else. This is after I've made my first couple of apps in rails.

Please, please show them hackers can be cool. You can play sports and be a hacker. You can be in a band and still be a hacker. And yes, you CAN get hot girls and still be a hacker. Enough with the thick glasses and pimple-faces!

I've thought about that too but you have to realize that while you're not giving up 2-10%, you also miss out on the connections you could have made with other entrepreneurs, potential cofounders and investors. Now if you could raise $25-$30

In the last comment on the Sitepoint auction, the creator mentions that he earned $30 from Google ads. While this is during (probably) a peak in traffic due to all the buzz around his site, let's assume he averages $50/day from Google ads.

What makes it even more amazing is that it has a business model. Great to see a fresh, simple and smart execution of a useful tool.

Hmm.. let's try some reasoning. Building a startup correctly takes research and knowledge (out of many things), which, if tallied as part of the building process, amounts to work. The various resources and the affluent discourse presented

This seems like a candid business effort in itself - develop a small web business/app over the course of a month and sell it early for a quick, cheap exit. It's not really a bad idea if trying to raise some money for a very strong idea, if

Update on the design - Dan saw the previous version with the rounded version and character and was fine with it. Either way, I think I'm going to stick with the new design just to keep far away from any confusion.

Well, I'd like to gather a similar user base to sites like GoBigNetwork (.com) and Vator.tv, while encouraging the great discussions had at places like news.yc and Reddit. Just a place to showcase your companies, write about any of your exp

I'm hoping to get support the site with advertising and sponsors, preferably from startups and from VCs. It's not a YouTube-like site where I'm expecting multi-million pageviews a day, but I think building a small yet strong community of e

While I'm guessing Dan would most likely be OK with the design, if you think of it this way than I'm guessing lots of others will too. I'm changing a lot of the front page layouts around - I definitely don't want that impression to be the

Cork'd was definitely a lot of inspiration, but how did I steal his design? The color scheme is straight from http://kuler.adobe.com/ (under popular) and while I totally stole his idea of the character in the welcome box and search bar p

I started this off 1.5 months ago as a project to work on while I learn Ruby on Rails. I think it turned out decently, so I've decided to share it with the world. Use the invite code "yconvicts" to register. :) Please let me know what you
