It's quite different. In GWT, you write your front end in the Java programming language and GWT compiles your source into highly optimized JavaScript. GWT's goal is to abstract away JS/DHTML development. It appears that obj-j's goal is to m

Most of the Hackers I know (including myself) are interested in Robots. It doesn't matter if it's some ground breaking invention from Anybots/NASA/RandomSmartyPants or if it's something funny like this. I also appreciate a random "Hacker Hu

It's also a good test for services that might be ripe for the picking. In other words, if their mobile site viewed on your PC is better than their actual site....well maybe they deserve to be put out of business by a startup.

Wow, just because he's not overweight it's assumed that he has an advanced case of cancer? He's probably a lot healthier than a lot of CEOs, most of which are old and overweight (and therefore at a much higher risk for all kinds of health p

I have a pretty busy schedule but a while back I started adjusting it to allow for time to actually sit down and eat a real dinner. My wife and I usually have 1 glass of wine each. It's a great way to reduce stress and enjoy life. It also

I'm not sure if I qualify as young (25), but coming from a different generation, they don't quite understand wanting to turn down a 100k job to bootstrap something with a very small chance of success. I can understand this, after all my da

Andriod Scan is pretty amazing. Take a picture of a bar code, it scans it and finds you the best prices online instantly. I could go to a mall with my phone, scan the crap I like...then just buy it all online and potentially save lots of m

83k in tulsa is like making 130k in boston http://www.bestplaces.net/col/?salary=83000&city1=46140&... That salary is crazy for someone that early, before revenue or major vc capital. By drawing that huge salary, she is avoiding all t

I understand your point here, but this situation appears to be a bit different. - VC money and some salary is on the way shortly http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=178290 - The idea seems to have matured and people want it. Sounds like a

4% is pretty high coming into a startup over a year after its founding. You're coming in at a point where there will be significantly less risk.

60~70 in Cambridge/Boston. There are some major companies here (Google, Microsoft, ITA) that probably offer more to really good hacker candidates.

How could you monetize something like Meebo? Virtual goods...advertising?

You're probably right. Also, I would imagine that if you take 5mm in funding from major VCs that you don't plan on a quick & cheap exit.

I always love reading stuff like this. It's really inspiring to learn about other inventors who have had great success and started out in the same fashion as you. (I'm currently working out of an attic in Arlington Ma, not too far from that

#7 make sure you actually have your hackers interview this person. They have a sense for who should be hired or not, which is more valuable than any test.
