I didn't read any of the comments in the original thread, but I can imagine why many of them were negative. Here is the question: ' I want to build a cable company that centers around viewer types. Basically, it is my understanding that the

I'm not surprised. Still don't understand the value proposition of the Wii U, despite the heavy PR and marketing currently in effect. Why buy a Wii U when you can play your iPhone/iPod/Android and probably have an XBOX/PS3 already?

Well congrats, I'm glad to hear it. My co-founder uses your app every day and loves it. My beef is that it seems TC always ties news to funding cycles, which IMO puts the focus on the wrong thing.

So let me get this straight. TC only covers startups that have raised money, and uses that as a metric for whether or not the story should be written?

Not it isn't. They are giving you extra money and paying you a sum in excess of 143.

"Potentially, a government is the most dangerous threat to man's rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims."

I'm with you. Until the federal gov can prove it is willing to even attempt a balanced budget, is willing to stop giving handouts (to both the wealthy and the lazy), and proves it will actually invest in something other than bad cars and ba

What gives the government the right to 'take it away from them?'

Thanks for the honest feedback. We've been wanting to update the page for some time, but just haven't found the time yet. Will keep that in mind for the next revision.

My company actually uses this to determine which clients we work with. If the first email we get is a call request, then we politely decline to work with them. In our experience, having a 'quick chat' rarely if ever leads to business. Most

I like the idea because I was in Afghanistan for some time and saw humans in blue suits clearing them in that very same place. I would much prefer a device like this, shiny or not. Since when did we become so cynical that every effort must

Thanks! Oddly enough, we started building this to raise money for a personal project and only later did we decide to sell it. Turns out that was a smart move. I can sympathize with your weekend pace. We worked on this for a year before it s

Really depends on who your audience is. If the Techcrunch readership isn't your audience, those conversion rates aren't necessarily indicative of anything.

Sure, it's called Zazen Suite/Zazen Lite. I only serve ads on the free version, and while I haven't done a lot of experimenting with Android yet, iOS makes so much more that it's not a contest. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zazen-suite-m

I ended up here on accident, but I can vouch for this system's value. I WAS freelancing at between $75-$100/hour, but having to work very hard for every contract. On the side my partner and I were building software, selling a nice amount bu

That I can definitely agree with. I think you'd have less haters if you left out the 'bitch please' portion of the argument.

While there are many scenarios in which things come easy, I've yet to find myself involved in one. I've either had to build on the side while working full-time, or work 60 hour weeks, nights and weekends, in order to keep money coming in. I

I think you and I read a different article. What I got from Mark's piece was that entrepreneurship isn't all glitz and glamour like it's made out to be on the tech blogs and in the business magazines. It's hard work, and sometimes the chanc

This is the most complete and representative post on entrepreneurship I've ever read, at least according to my own experiences. I do listen to Mark's podcast, but this is by far the best of his best.

It's a shame I can't downvote your post. Such a smug attitude, and so unnecessary. There's not one spot where I said 'everyone should do it my way,' and your first paragraph is a rather astonishing ad hominem attack EDIT: I've done some mor

Two things I noticed: 1. Overspending - No need to buy hardware to 'test' if you can't afford to live. 2. Lack of Focus - An app a month sounds nice, but to quote the article, 'decent is not good enough.' Hard to make 12 good apps/year, let

If it hadn't been for my co-founder, I would be insane at best, and at worst, divorced and nearly dead. We keep each other going, pick up each other's slack when we're having a bad day/week/month, and keep each other energized throughout th

This isn't true. The user experience is far worse now that they've monetized the news feed. I see far more ads than I used to, often for things I am uninterested in. The FB experience is getting worse by the day for users and advertisers.
