From what I've heard, Grooveshark has been pre-emptively making payments to the labels monthly for over the past year so that they don't sue. They labels seemed to be okay with this as they sort of figured out what Grooveshark was - I wonde

This is cool, but it's certainly not a game changer. If you didn't need an Xfinity or Verizon account to get all this content then it would be a lot more interesting. If I were willing to pay $80/mo for cable, I wouldn't be on Xbox streamin

It's true that apartments are expensive in NY, but they're also similarly expensive in San Francisco, and parts of Silicon Valley (Palo Alto). There's a lot of affordable co-working spaces in NYC if you want some sort office to start, but t

I'm willing to bet at least a handful of people have gotten jobs through Quora. Someone claims to have even landed funding for their startup on Quora: http://www.quora.com/Has-anyone-gotten-startup-funding-thank...

It depends how serious you are about this venture. I think it's pretty important to at least have a technical co-founder if you want to start a startup. Otherwise, you're starting a business in a field where you have no domain knowledge. If

I've only explored it a little, but this product just seems like a mashup of Muxtape and Facebook-style chat. What makes Turntable.fm chat interesting is that everyone is listening to and talking about the same song.. you don't get that he
