   Skype allows my son to have a relationship with his grandparents who live more than 10,000 miles away. That's a huge problem solved for an absolutely enormous market.

   Scrolling down a bit doesn't help at all. Where's the pause button? That is unusable.

   Am very happy with my VPS from prgmr.com which I've had for just over a year now. I also have VPSs with Linode, Slicehost and Amazon ... but honestly prgmr is just excellent value.

   I just read your ebook; you write very well and it's definitely an interesting topic.

   Nice work, thank you so much for fontawesome! I use them in every bootstrap project now; can't live without resizing and colouring my icons.

    Totally agree. A friend gave me this book when I quit my salary job 3 years ago; I've read it to my 2yr old boy many, many times.

    I get what you are saying, and your analysis might be correct, but I actually think their strategy is right on. Don't forget Atlassian's market is 'enterprise', this means people who like their products to be supported from a 'total solutio

    Not true, I live in Sydney, my clients are in Australia and I host in both the US and in Australia. Sure, I get <3ms latency from local servers and ~200ms latency from Freemont CA, but it's not a big deal to anyone (except maybe gamers)

    Isn't that what Google apps for business offers? I don't know if you can port an @gmail.com email address in, but if you have your own domain for $5 / user / month you get phone + email support.

    What better way for Instagram to improve their negotiating position than to remove the need for cash. Having 50M in the bank meant they could credibly walk away from the deal, continue operating and realistically be worth 4 or 5 times the 5

    I first learned BASIC on a Sinclair ZX81 which I got for my 7th birthday. I'm now 37 so I just scrape into the 20+ range.

    He said 'virtually infinite', which I think is reasonable if you take that to mean 'more than we could ever use'. Already today there are large scale solar development projects that, if scaled, offer the potential to supply enough electrici

    Are you sure that's how entrepreneurs and investors think in Italy? I strongly suspect that if you genuinely tried hard in a business that ultimately failed, and truly learned some difficult lessons then people will give you another chance.

    It sounds like you're pretty new to this. Have you looked to see if there are any local angel investor groups in your area? Investing through a syndicate gives you an opportunity to invest your money in a number of startups, and also to ben
