The wireless works fine for me. I think I've come across a post or two on forums about the newest MacBooks having issues with the wireless that force people to use ndiswrapper, but mine works fine. I wouldn't suggest getting a Mac if you kn

I run Ubuntu on a MacBook, but as long as the laptop you buy has Intel graphics and wireless, you'll usually be fine. My last laptop was one of Dell's 12" widescreen models, and it worked fine for me.

MySpace definitely executed well, but no one has a monopoly on good execution. In your original comment, you said that if someone else could execute as well as he could, then there's something wrong with the idea. That's not true. There's a

Lots of people say that, but I don't think it's true. Just because an idea is simple doesn't mean it's a bad or unprofitable idea. MySpace was a really simple idea, most of which had been done before, just not all on the same site. The reas

Definitely useful, but making money could be a problem. Google ads on the pages might be a little bit morbid. I don't think many people would pay for such a service since there are plenty of free alternatives already, so I really don't see

If you're not a hacker and you're trying to start a business that requires a lot of hacking from the outset (such as anything computer-related), you're going to have to let go of the idea that this is going to be "your" startup. The beginni

I'm sure they got decent paychecks out of it, but I doubt it was "fuck you" money. They're still going to have to start another business or work for someone else in a scenario where making money will still be important. If I was really pass

Actually, it's mostly just other people's content copied to the site without their permission. For instance, the #3 and #4 items on Scribd right now are taken straight from craigslist's best of section. A lot of the other items are from ema

"If somebody can go get a browser plugin (AdBlock) and kill all banners with very little effort, what's to stop most users from doing that?" Inertia. First of all, most people aren't that annoyed by banner ads. Of those who are, most of the

I really don't understand why you've gotten nothing but positive comments on this. This is not an original idea. If I'm wrong, what is original about it? For the use case you describe, having a saved set of Firefox tabs would do a far bette

Django gives you the benefits of speed and an easy to use framework. Rails just seems to have more hype around it. The people who constantly say that the poor performance of Ruby and Rails isn't an issue are the same people who don't have l

Advertising. Their advertisers are probably only paying for views inside the US, so anything they serve outside of the US is throwing away bandwidth for them. Giving away their content still helps their brand if they ever expand to those co
