I think that says more about the validation tool rather than the sites failing it.

Is there a particular reason that Maverick were involved? I don't know the guys well enough but they seem like your traditional Wall Street hedge fund. I'm probably completely wrong but guessing Sam Wyly was perhaps one of the major reasons

With all the talk of this being a big data driven election I was surprised to not see Palantir utilised by either party. If I was running for office I would be giving those guys a call.

This has brightened my Monday up. One question... How do the logistics work out here? I can't think of anything more amusing than 4 neck-beard hackers winning a cow at a hack.

That's awesome, just cool to know why the activation is needed and how long it will take. I'm stoked to have you guys launched and I'm sure many other developers are also.

I thought that, perhaps it's just to remain compliant on their side. Maybe it's the reason they've been able to ship despite the fact Stripe haven't. Then again those Samwer brothers aren't short for cash.

This is major news for startups in Europe. Major news. The only issue I have is that the activation process seems like any other merchant account application. It will be interesting to hear from people who are rejected in the activation pro

Maybe I'm too naive to see why manufactures having their own showrooms would be such a problem?

Every now and then we see old laws being used by dying industries take a plunge at stopping innovation. Uber & Air B'n'B are two others that come to mind. The bigger problem for the dying industries is that they're taking on compani

Matt is a great guy working alongside my startup in the ignite100 loft in Newcastle. His startup http://inquire.ly/ is in beta and is free at the minute for all tiers, you should certainly check it out if you use forms on your website.

We're only 2weeks away from a public beta so we will hopefully by then have a video also describing what the product is on the home page as it's clear that's needed! Apart from that the proof of the product comes in the quality of the leads

I'm not a CS grad and have landed a spot as the technical co founder of a company on a UK accelerator. Hustle and always learn and you will pretty much get where you want to be! Another tip is to contribute to GitHub projects and attend hac

So I had some pretty angry thoughts after hearing this. I mean this is seriously unethical and immoral and I'll be extremely surprised if this approach stays after what seems to be an increasing amount of public pressure. The fact some well

I get what you're saying. One company who got around this hurdle was App.net(piggybacking on the Stripe/Visa/Mastercard brand). I'm assuming this is another implementation of Stripe.

"Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10." My favorite Neil Armstrong quote. Has some relevance to how we think as entrepreneurs.

So far the Apple and Samsung updates are just making me angry. I can't believe that you can patent pinch and zoom and double tap to zoom. All this story is telling me is just how much the system needs to be reformed.

Great going guys on getting a product launched. Try to ignore the majority of comments from people offering nothing more than a self promotion of how much of a cynic they are. Some thoughts on the site: 1. That photo needs to change, I pers
