I'd watch it - but I'd hope it was a lot less edited than that bloomberg tech stars series.

Definitely an interesting next step into this geek list-like area. Keep it up and stay with it.

How does one learn to think, if not through education? And academic article-based education is the primary way of learning in academia. I very much agree with the post's point about the first step. In order to make a significantly disruptiv

Thanks for posting the list - more startups should do this.

Good article about getting at the core of what users ALREADY want. I think that this is the crux of the confusion for most people. Many startup entrepreneurs want to make vitamins when they should really be making aspirin.

Really not sure how effective the template will be once the novelty wears off, but still glad they lifted the....dress to show everyone.

This idea of documenting everything through the process from idea generation to publishing is very interesting. I keep thinking that these types of storyboard explainers might be useful in a lot of contexts - tech startups especially.

This is a classic critical mass app and I'm a little skeptical right now as to if it has the legs. But then again, I thought Quora was the greatest thing since sliced bread and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

The categorization rankings seem pretty subjective. I read somewhere that your best bet, if possible, is to call your company what it does. If your software emails timed newsletters, call it newsletter or emailer and keep working around tha

As someone who had close interaction with Palantir through many rounds of their interview process, I can say that they do radiate a cult-likeness. The two most important points seemed to be: you need to be brilliant (not a huge surprise) an

If this spreadsheet actually works, it will be a great tool. I will absolutely use it.

What a novel idea. I have many friends without Macs who would be interested in this. (I am a little curious about the logistics though.)

It's interesting to see some concrete data about the size of the educational market for iOS - and I only see this growing in the future.

At first glance, I balked at the title, saying to myself, "Who has the time to personally email 1000 people while doing everything else a founder is responsible for. " However, after reading the article, I completely agree with this approac

Yeah. This doesn't seem like startling news.

Agreed. Not just in other countries, but many rural areas of the US. There are some incredibly talented people out there that may not be able to move for one reason or another. How do we bring these startup hub advantages to everyone?

This is the worst kind of marketing for tech stars. I wonder how many people who held them high esteem are seriously questioning any motivations of attending.

I can see many developers moving towards this idea of integrating Siri APIs into their apps.

The simplest ideas are the ones that are commonly the most useful. Very interesting tool!

Am I missing something? From a native iOS perspective anyway, this is nothing new. (Besides the one-click log-in anyway) This seems like facebook's way of catching up with how twitter's technology is baked into the iOS 5 OS.

“Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” - Thomas Edison. I've never seen that quote before but I love it. Great slideshow and thanks for sharing.

Very true. It is apparently clear when I let myself go even a couple of days without running. Well said.

This shows the incredible influence that Steve had on the tech community. Unlike others who have disrupted the world like him, we can at least be glad that he got to witness the incredible impact that he had.

It's always fascinating to me when the population knows that certain events don't affect their line of business, but they let it influence them anyway. It happens so much, not just in private equity, but in corporate finance too.

Go with simplified. Your target audience can more than likely comprehend both and simplified is MUCH more common outside of newspapers and government documents.

This epitomizes what packaging and convenience to provide to a simple concept. Bravo!
