Agreed. But a home run for most VCs would likely be 10X+ return stories than a revenue generating machine that would mature up in 10+ years.

That's splendid news! I firmly believe that it is consumer apps, and consumer apps alone, that can give blazing home runs like this one. Despite the risk, numerous deaths, blood and corpses all over the place. Somehow valley since last

Hi tigroferoce, this Bubblin is iPad first. Works really well when you read a book on iPad2+. We're yet to optimize for laptops and big-screen iMacs, but this one is on top of our task-list!

Is this real? If it is, then these are early signs of that dying model, you know. I don't mean to say that the case of these overreaching universities is as bad as that of Hollywood/MPAA but traits are similar. It's a good th

This is super useful! I have been forcing myself off HN lately. One thing that I miss the most due to this is the SHOW:HNs of really cool products and hacks that hit the front page. This gives me a great month-to-month access to those great

So it was never about terrorism to start with; it was and has always been about retaining power & oversight by selling "security" to the cheap sheep. Was there a doubt on its true motivations? No, I don't think so. But lo

That's a very interesting observation. It's important to note that China does have a dual system of Governance within itself: Democracy (Hong Kong) + Communist control (Mainland). Thus it can, and does, leverage best of both world

It will be very interesting to see how and when this outreach will turn into a show of territorial solidarity. It will happen sooner or later! In fact, looking at the rate at which they are now discovering exoplanets, and probably will so

Wait, yes. Dude, Alexander and Genghis Khan are like they happened only yesterday. Hindusim is much older than all of that, and I don't mean only in terms of religion. The culture itself is very old, so to speak. God this is going to b
