God I love task chairs, and I wish this article had more cow-bell... not enough pics and not enough information. From an aesthetic perspective, I'm not feeling this one as much as an Aeron... but given the lack of product photography, I'll

We tried to do this last year when the "Safari SDK" was released, but the side project died... I still think it's a great idea and you've executed it nicely. There's another iPhone application that does something similar called Scavenge bui

Seriously, why is this on hacker news? I understand it may be very relevant to a lot of people's personal habits, but christ... I can see the SAME crap on digg and reddit anytime I want, at least 2 or 3 times a week a medicinal marijuana ar

It took a study to figure this out? Seems to me that it's been a growing trend since the late 90s and early 00's.

Ummm, maybe I'm reading between the lines too much but I see "for released iPhone software." Does that mean people still can't talk about rejection letters? Edit, from MacRumors.com However, the NDA has created too much of a burden on deve

If you're an early-stage startup, be careful with the CTO role. Make sure they can add value THROUGHOUT your operations, as oppose to "evangelizing" about your product. Too much time designing/feature-creep, and not enough time polishing/pr

Waylon Jennings said, "I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane." And I'd have to agree with him...

One observation that’s frequently made about Facebook is that you guys seem to be trying to re-create a lot of the functions that are out there on the Internet, but within the walls of the Facebook.com—so people can have an Internet “exper

disagree because i've heard many reasons why apps are being declined outside of the complaints of nazi-ism that hit the wire. a number of apps have caused significant problems for iphone testers, and thus problems for Apple customer service

Rahim Fazal, co-founder of Involver, started his first business when he was in high school, and actually told his parents he was dealing drugs -- just so they wouldn't find out about his company and make him focus more on his schoolwork.

You may get into a bit of trouble using all those logo marks without permission. They are huge sticklers on that stuff.

Good point... but I'm in the boat of "I don't want a swiss-army knife, social website, thing-a-ma-jig"... I want facebook to be good at one thing, which it once was and is no longer. As such, I visit fb about three-quarters as much as I use

This is an interesting blog article that supports my hypothesis of how to fail in the AppStore. I think a lot of people forget the concept and purpose of a mobile device, and how closely it's tied to being PORTABLE, EASY TO USE, and/or rele

You would have thought after web 1.0, that web 2.0 would have been about making money.

Fantastic!!! I agree man, I enjoy cooking but it takes soo much time. So, for people still working a day-job, contracting your cooking is a great time saver. Fortunately, my gf is my life manager in the evening and takes care of me. :)

I disagree... if this was around when our startup was in operation, it would have saved us $XX,XXX a month in infrastructure fees and we might still be around.

I have a problem with your sources, specifically julian simon, as it primarily cites research dating back to the 1980's and does not take into account a lot of factors that are placing significant pressure on the CURRENT supply of oil TODAY

I hope the following generations lose this mentality. That was the most short-sighted rebuttal I've read.

I'm particularly disappointed in TX given it's wealth, low cost to do business (attractive for startups), and epic center of oil production. Our state (and big oil) should be funding serious initiatives to curb us off oil, and hedge their

While there is a lot of clutter on the app store with Tip calculators and so forth, there is a sharp difference between fB and iPhone platforms. to develop for Facebook, you can use anything. to develop for the iPhone, you need a Mac. That

Yep, which brings me to my interpretation of a "start up". In my mind, a startup as defined by an entrepreneur is a tech-focused company shooting for rapid growth, with a liquidity event in mind. On the other hand, a small business is built

There's a lot of hate being thrown Yammer's way because it's a twitter-clone, but I thought Yammer was brilliantly executed with additional layers of their own innovation. They have what Twitter does not: a very viable subscription model.

I agree with being out of debt... it's been very critical in maintaining relative sanity when pushing through the tough times of a startup. Use credit cards to float a month's worth of expense, but always pay in full. Here's what I've been

There are two sides to a coin and I find myself agreeing with both the article, and your response.

Dvorak has always been a pessimistic, glass is half empty commentator on technology. 99% of the time he's wrong.
