Regarding 3 - why would you want to make it smaller? It can easily be held with 1 hand as they were doing in the demo. It weighs under 3lbs (maybe a couple oz' less when they make it smaller/remove stuff) - I can comfortably hold my MacBook

There's no good way to estimate it, I'd just go for google ads to start and see what you're getting and graph that out as ALee said. Your best bet would be to find out how much traffic you're getting each month and attempt to privately sell

Quebec is not the best place to start a business, in my opinion. Vancouver or Toronto would be best for that. In Quebec you may have some issues because some companies won't ship there or other reasons. They're exempt from a lot of things.

West coast ftw. Toronto and Vancouver are definitely more business oriented than Montreal for sure, in that order - Toronto > Vancouver > Montreal. Vancouver is pretty nice, there's quite a bit to do. If you don't like wet weather t

And unfortunately 35,000 is just another number in this economy - does it mean anything anymore? It's like the war: 7 killed in roadside bombing, 25 killed in rocket fire. Just number that start to lose their meaning.

I'm 17 and I have a bunch of good friends, and guess what? None of them share my main interests. I'm geeky, I love my mac, I love podcasts, etc. My friends aren't crazy about computers really. A person I consider my best friend is really in

I don't have any experience personally, but I would say just work on your killer product. If a competitor comes along and you're already established as the leader it won't matter. Save your capital. Just my $0.02

Not a lot of people contribute value. Myself included. I just felt I had to call out the douchebags who talk about blogging and twitter via my blog and twitter ;)

I'd try to contact other startups and see if they need freelance work done. Instead of looking for another job, continue doing what you're doing and work part-time elsewhere. Email other startups and ask if they're hiring, tell them about y

Congrats GitHub! Sad to see Zuck win under "Best Startup CEO" - I don't think Facebook falls under the term 'startup' anymore. Also, is it just me or does he put off a "I'm a tool" vibe when you hear him talk?

I find the call quality great over 3G, or good enough for my standards at least. I have yet to experience a dropped call or bad connection, but that's more about the network than the phone. Looks like the main problem is AT&T

I love my iPhone to death - and despite a few features I would love in the phone (such as copy/paste and possibly a physical keyboard) the phone does exactly what I need it to. I spend a lot less time talking on the iPhone because I have th

And if he disclosed that he was dying to the public, that would help the stock? When Steve dies Apple's stock is going to drop no matter what and it may not recover. Whether this info is given out months before or immediately after it makes

I don't think less of him. I am just saddened that it has had to come to this. Others have already said they think less of him because of this (in this thread alone). The call for him to do this came from above him. Not from a single person

I hope everyone is happy now and can get over it. It's sad he had to come to this. Why is it your business to know about every detail of his personal life? And don't give me this 'I'm a stockholder, I deserve to know' BS. Apple isn't going

Don't advertise. Be enthusiastic about your product. Have a twitter account? Talk about your product. Start a company/project blog and pimp that content as much as possible. Email every single blog that covers what your product is about or

The biggest flaw I see in all of this is... you can't download files at 1gbps. It's not that there isn't 1gbps speeds in the world, it's the fact that most datacenters (and by most I mean 99.9%) don't have more than 100mbps uplinks. They ha
