I've been a designer for most of my early career, and I've always had a policy against doing adult-industry work. I understand the legitimacy of the industry, the human nature element, and I've heard the arguments in regard to the benefits

I agreed completely with the first comment: Please don’t make me write in any of these simplified markup languages, either. And, really please, don’t ask me to embed code in the language, or one of these languages in code.

Thanks for sharing! What surprised me was the comment by DreamIT Ventures who said "competing with eBay is crazy". Quite frankly, I haven't used eBay in quite some time... it's turned into more or less a storefront for drop-ship merchants a

(3) If you're going to quote anybody, at least quote the source. Mikeyy explained to BNO News that he created Stalk Daily from “boredom” and because he “needed a way to make money.” Sounds to me like premeditated criminal intent.

The problem with that assumption is the same problem people make with consumers; you're expecting them to be rational. This guy was launching a Twitter-clone and blatantly attacked the Twitter service. If it wasn't for the fear of repercus

Couple of design/usability things I see: - Using a stock font included with OSX (Marker Felt) for the logo would not have been my first choice. And, marker Felt reminds me of comic-sans. - The logo is not matted properly, I can see a square

How millennial of you. It's from 1996.

I'm using an open-source script and part-time Objective-C developer. But yes, I agree with you in general... to become an AAPL/GOOG/MS requires significantly more emphasis on unique and progressive technology (or to move extremely fast). Bu

Hear hear, happened this summer. The second time around I'm the founder and not just an early-employee, and instead of $3M we only had $10k to kick things off. What's kept me from applying to ycom is having a technical co-founder that I bel

I've said this before but I think they also suffer from a branding and design/usability issue. I think FriendFeed is a great tool, there's obviously a lot of smart engineering driving it, packs a lot of utility for marketers/writers/researc

I love that id has remained a small studio relative to their recognition, and while they might not always hit one out of the park — they love what they are doing and that makes me love their products moreso. I've heard there's a lot of tric

I agree completely, and this is the case I've been making for years. If OSX opened up to any hardware configuration, it would be a slow moving animal similar to M$. As it stands, I don't think Steve's vision is complete yet — not enough to

Couldn't have said it any better myself. I'm sick and tired of these millennials that want, want, want without the work, work, work. All this "lifestyle" BS I keep hearing about lately is just a cop out excuse for lazy people masquerading u

Agreed and I pay for .Mac so the bookmark synchronization across multiple Macs and my iPhone is pretty glorious. Looking forward to a more stable Safari 4 tho, mine freezes at least 3 times a day where as 3 was pretty stable, aside from the

Or, the tech industry is subject to its own efficiency; a poetic justice of sorts.

Actually in Austin TX it's been a common practice for a very long time. The reason being, in many degree programs at University of Texas students are required to do a semester internship to graduate. Therefore, it can actually put a pretty

I hope this is not TechStars because I really like their operation as a viable alternative to ycom from what I've seen and read. Exploding term sheets seems pretty short-sighted, and not something anyone should do if they are embodying the

I think it depends where you're from, salsa is a big thing down south. But yeah, I get what you're saying... salsa probably would not have been my first choice either, but maybe they know something we do not. I'm also pretty sure they selec

Ok ok, I should have provided more substance in my post. Thank you for spanking me HN. :) Certainly I don't feel 37signals customer support is broken, but there is a point in that quote: Would it have really been that difficult for Jason to

For a mainstream TV show/station, I'm not sure I entirely agree. What would be more exciting to watch, web/tech with thousands of faceless customers they would likely not interact with outside of email/twitter for at least a year... or tang

If there are tons of people using GS's unofficial support forums instead of your own, that tells you that your system is broken, and needs to be repaired. SNAP!

As I said above, the AppStore should not be a "free market"... it should be a PREMIUM market and the free market should exists outside of the store where developers and consumers can buy and sell iPhone apps as they see fit. (IMO) The AppSt

Being limited by a $200 application fee to get 10 more slots is NOT going to kill a market for quality-focused developers (indie or not). I'm sorry but that's hardly the case... In fact, we would happily pay ~$10k to publish to iTunes if it

BlackBerry is doing something I wish Apple had done. Their $200 application fee (Apple = $100) entitles you to only 10 applications. Your next 10 require an additional $200 payment. Had Apple done this, I think you would see far less junk a

The really amazing thing is even the sales we've had so far represent just 0.2% of the total iPhone OS user base - it really is a huge market. Games are killing it, there is no doubt about that, and it's also a strong reflection of the sl

Great first show, love that they kicked off discussion around naming and branding. It's usually one of the first issues to come to surface amongst founders, and one of the most misunderstood areas of importance in my belief. I also think

I've looked at those, and even called a few of their executives to see who's in charge of TX sales. I had a friendly response but very little follow through, it surprises me that they aren't doing more with geeks TBH. Austin may not be the
