This is not a problem limited to entrepreneurs. It's an ego problem and entrepreneurs have a lot of ego -- they have to -- so I can see that it is a big problem for VC's. Have you ever tried telling someone they are wrong? It's not easy.

From the marketwatch link: "Facebook has long been seeking out a means to allow employees to cash in their shares, in hopes of rewarding and retaining them." If facebook is going to make over $400M this year, why don't they simply buy bac

We're working on building a community-generated database of the trusted information that interests people most. Well that narrows it down...

I prefer cl where you get a daily refilled bucket of points you can assign to a post. you have so many points to assign (up or down) and you get more of those points over time. If you really like something a lot, you can give it 5 ups. if

Well, first impression: They Live is an alien invasion movie, not a zombie movie, so I gotta question the accuracy of the data!

The most interesting part of this is that there is a big OpenX ad image in the right hand column, just scroll down a bit and you'll see it.

Stick it out, yes... that's the most important part. That's the hardest part. I think most people who have a startup want to quit at some point. It has to hurt. You have to move through the hurt, because everytime you keep going when yo

This is a neat idea. I suppose it is like saving your game in a video game. When you get killed, just start over at your last save.

It is also about the way the business is started. For example, if you get VC and fail, then that's it folks. You've got nothing. If you do not get VC, then how can it fail unless you give up? Go back to work, get a job, and keep a side bu

I suppose I am one of only a few here who agrees with the author. He calls them fashions, I'd call them fads. They are fads, like the pet rocks and beanie babies and friendster and on and on. There will probably be die hards forever, but

Well, whales live under the water and most mammals have fur, so perhaps they are protected from the cancer causing sun more than humans. Elephants have thick protective skin. Plus, humans tend to be closer to carcinogens like pesticides th

So they are selling hope to the ignorant... It seems kind of wrong to do that. Well, it doesn't feel good to think about anyway, maybe it isn't wrong. I suppose it is like those infomercials at night selling real estate mogul programs...

This is how many markets are created. It's why so many school age kids play sports, they want to be famous and rich like the extreme case of the pro-athlete. It is why 37Signals writes about that guy with the cars for $1000. It's why lotte

From the human point of view this change will be a throwing away of all the previous rules, perhaps in the blink of an eye, an exponential runaway beyond any hope of control. Developments that before were thought might only happen in "a mi

Responsibility with your finances is the best bet, so I will qualify what I said with, "For irresponsible people, it's best to have a bad FICO score and not incur debt. Better to live a cash life." This often includes college students. Al

Sounds like the startup that is running the office space could use some lessons from lean startups themselves. Who signs a 15 year lease at $12,000 without knowing they can afford it? That's exhorbitant and I am sure that they could find l
