Exactly. Born and raised in Texas (still here), I've tasted PLENTY of bad jerky in my time, and we're a state that loves meat.

Exactly. I've been in love with Hulu but after Boxee and now this, a big FU HULU. I had no problem the commercials in Hulu (would even pay for premium Hulu access), I know people need to get paid. But if the conglomerates are going to force

lol, I did read---skim it but I guess I just mentally correlated that picture with the old Ti-8X calculators that people (and me) use to program on. My bad, it's Friday. :)

If I was a programmer I would probably pickup a Dell Netbook, install OSX on it, and use that as my learning tool. I appreciate your objective, but I think that calculator is a step backward. Maybe since I'm not a programmer, I'm missing so

Sometimes there's only so many ways to skin a cat, art is very much an influential process and converging ideas are common. I can dig up PRINT and INTERACTIVE magazines from the 90-00's and show you plenty of designs that have been "copied"

A blog is one of the best tools for organic search, so I disagree with you about it's importance. But I do agree that it's not the end-all marketing strategy by any means. Speaking of, what is FF marketing strategy? Aside from TechCrunch/Ma

I think you missed the point of my comment. I know why this is a cool feature and I have a FF account. But if your average user looked at the blog post, about 95% of the people that use Facebook/MySpace have no idea how it's vastly differen

A cool feature poorly communicated. Perhaps one of the reasons FriendFeed has struggled to get over the early-adopter hump is because their mar-com has a few holes. Not to discredit any hard work but I think FF should consider how this file

Good stuff, this must be a relatively new section. I've also found Yahoo UI and performance section a great resource too. For better or worse, Yahoo! apps tend to be heavier on the design and graphics side so they have some good practices i

In their defense if they are active developers or entreps then they are likely extremely busy. As much as they'd love to help you, there are a lot of people like yourself asking for their time too, you're not the only one. So don't take the

If I'm not mistaken Apple approached numerous carriers, many of them turned their noes up to requests Apple made so specific iPhone features could function as intended, such as visual voice mail and more importantly, complete freedom with t

While I agree with the context of your article (though sometimes it is VERY necessary to rebrand), I think you missed an important point on how to avoid rebranding woes. Most established companies tend to favor unique typographic or vague l

I'm rather sick of the internet's armchair critics and non-contributing zeros. Anyone can have any opinion (and unfortunately the internet makes that too easy), few people can actually make a difference. You'd think all the TC haters could

How about just stop wasting your company's money looking at inappropriate material on the clock? The chances that a site contains inappropriate material relevant to your job is slim to none, IMO.

Same exact thing I said when I saw the base of the monitor. And notice his head is extremely still (to the point of being odd), which is probably to make the keying (removing the 'green screen') more accurate. I noticed some spots in his ha

Virality is soo misunderstood. Your more likely to build an iPhone app that gets into one of the top lists than to have one go viral.

I think what's important to remember too is that investment flows like water in the Valley. In places like Texas for example, we're not that lucky so 'startups' (which half likely never make it into CrunchBase), typically turn into very pro

This is awesome. You have a free place to stay in Austin, TX for a week on West 5th street if you'd like to extend your research. Please contact me if interested. This town has it's edge in B2B but there are a lot of people here seeking to

You can say that again, I paid a pretty penny for my 2G which is why I ignored the 3G. Glad I waited... 2G was good to me though, never had a drop call.

Are you saying that's a bad thing? Getting traction is extremely challenging. Most startups reliant on UGC do this, in the past we've done it with Amazon MT too. I don't think it's something to look at negatively when you take into consider

Interesting, almost makes me want to test it out. What's holding me back is the wide-spread use of head shots by realtors, I almost puke in my mouth at the thought of doing it too.

I apologize for an offensive remark, puts foot in mouth . I wasn't very clear in that first post. I know it can be done by some but I don't think most people can do it, and I still think it comes at a cost. The question is, how do children

by pxlpshr 17y ago
no offense, but if you have more than 2 then you're likely living vicariously through HN. if you're giving up founder-time, then it's at the expense of your child's development in relation to personal influence. IMO. I'm 27 (i think), i ser

N.B. Although the S/N here is often quite poor, it is at least an order of magnitude better than other places I know about. At least once a day I read an article that is very much worth my time. I think this is a very ego-centric remark t

by pxlpshr 17y ago
I found myself thinking the same thing while reading the post. Maybe my cynicism around this issue stems from the fact that I'm 27, have been doing this 10 years, and still have not had a significant exit. (But I've have had a blast on the

Market makers would likely disagree with you, but I digress... so very, very few startups ever reach that level. :)

Daring Fireball is one of those sweet little gems on the internet. Six months of pain was turned into tears of laughter, hilarious post. I stopped whining about the review process a few months ago once it was very clear how broken things a
