   Axod is mentioned in the article and his site, mibbit.com has over 100k uniques on compete. Are you saying he is in-experienced?

   People pay what Facebook asks of them, i.e. nothing except ads. It was on those grounds people accepted as their social network. By contributing my content to Facebook I help make it a place for my friends to come to often and for Facebook

   He is updating twice a month! most people on Twitter update a lot more than that - I don't think he is keeping up with the trend.

   If you get traction and press attention particularly, then doors and options open up to you. Also if you have a chance to speak at a conference you get a lot of respect, often from people who didn't know who you were previously. However, ge

   you can only compare the cost in a meaningful way if you know the product features are similar, otherwise it's a apples and oranges comparison.

   Every other review mentions usability, why does this one need to? since the writer probably hasn't used them all anyway.

   Agreed and it's good that they do that since I use their graphics and Wifi drivers on my Ubuntu Laptop. My point was if they are truly committed to open source they would do this too, they are after all a hardware company and should compete

   Not only should they fix it, they should open source the code, so AMD can contribute. Intel often makes noises about open source, so they should put their money where there mouth is.

   Thanks for the suggestions, I've started to move us to Helvetica (except logos for now) and cut down on italics. Do you have a site, twitter etc.? my details are in my profile.

    I'd have to say I agree - It's quite easy for someone to come up with the same idea as you and not even be aware that you exist(ed). Blog posts and comments about my startup ( http://FriendBinder.com ) often think we copied FriendFeed, Soci

    Yes I know. But if you are running a game on a PC with 8GB of memory and the game can only use 4GB of that (actually 2.7GB in windows), it's not really taking advantage of it, is it? Also consumer versions of 32bit Windows don't support PAE

    You need it to take advantage of 4GB+ of memory really - so that's most systems you see in shops already. 64bit took off in Enterprise systems (IBM/Sun/SGI etc.) where it was common to have 4GB+ of memory years ago. The Desktop is next. 64b

    Next step in those companies is that the managers start having meetings in fancy hotels costing a lot more than that small saving.

    I'd hold that line if the person calling were important to me, i.e. they were the VC, or press or the president. If they were selling me something I wouldn't wait.

    Actually the period at the end is part of the DNS standard, without it, your machine's search path is searched first (e.g. in resolv.conf on Unix/Linux) So if your ISP is AOL, you might have a search path of aol.com so looking up "to" will

    However what it resolves to depends on you search domain. If I shared http://www on twitter everyone would most likely see a different site. People should really be using http://to . to avoid conflicts with internal servers called 'to'

    I see a lot of apps in the app store that could just be optimized iPhone web apps. However discovery of iPhone web apps on the iPhone is very poor - Apple have a site but it's not optimized for the iPhone and there are no ratings.

    They shouldn't just have an API, they should use the same APIs where possible. Each site having it's own API is a major barrier.
