Vitamin D is critical to health and should be called something else, not a vitamin. BTW, as you get older, your body loses the ability to convert sunlight to Vitamin D. Of course no one who reads HN would have this issue :-)

How can you possibly know this: "His biggest failure was he couldn't market his product effectively" The number one failure of startups is building stuff nobody wants. Go read some Steve Blank pronto.

KTVU was so bad that I had to take a screenshot of their website. A photo showed people walking away from an upright plane with the copy "after wobbling for a minute, the aircraft flipped upside down, coming to a stop on runway upside

I only use my Boxee Box as a Netflix device today. We simply can't get all the over-the=air channels where we live. And for some reason, Boxee is antagonistic to Aereo. What I think the world wants is the ultimate cut-the-cord solution

That seems a better way to spell that word anyway. Let's start a campaign to eliminate unpronounced characters from the English language. Who's with me?!

27yo kids worried about growing old. This is the funniest thing I've ever read on HN. Some sort of parody, right?
