Good to know; I just came here to complain. :-) On the other hand, though, I think you should have probably started with the 1.9.2/1.9.3 series rather than the ancient 1.8.7.

I want someone to throw money at until things work In that case, although you can certainly pay for support (as others have pointed out)—but you're probably not the intended audience for this service.

Absolutely Amazon is an innovator. And surprisingly so -- who would've predicted AWS?!

I wonder if the author understands the distinction between San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and the Bay Area.

It reminds me of something Caterina Fake (Flickr) said some years ago. The problem is, both these things come off like "I got mine, but it's too late for you."

I don't think Amazon falls into the same bucket. Most of what Amazon does is a bit better than its would-be competition. Whereas what Groupon does is exactly what everyone else would do.

The scary thing is, if you're an entrepreneur, your days of starting companies from scratch are probably over by age 45. Bullshit, as evidenced by reason and by actual example (google for it).

That certainly makes sense, and I can't blame the author for spending time on them. I just wish it was a tad bit clearer that this was the direction the book was taking; its cover and marketing material focus on small startups.

It's not about emotion. It's about concentration of talent and drive, and geography does matter. People here in California, particularly in the Bay Area, think differently (apologies to SJ). Great startups are usually based on some sort of

I really don't understand the over fixation on Silicon Valley. I think the rest of your comment is elaboration on this theme. You don't understand, mainly because your views are distorted. A couple of examples to give you the idea: it at

Buying up games as they become hot is not a sustainable strategy. It takes nothing to produce a hot game. I'm no fan of Zynga, maybe, but this statement is false. It's typical for large companies to begin doing corporate buyouts as a stra

I'm not so enthusiastic about The Lean Startup . It's worth reading, certainly, but it gets annoying as Ries spends a fair amount of time concentrating on "intrapreneurs" at large corporations, and insisting that divisions in large enterpr

But did Instagram have revenue? While that's a valid question, one sale of one company does not a bubble make. We really, really have to stop saying "bubble" every time some company gets sold for a greater amount of money than we think it

There is no bubble. 2000: THAT was a bubble. This is not a bubble. No evidence. Just Chicken Littles.

1- SF is a city with diverse neighborhoods; there are some that are quite safe, and others where you'd be well-advised to watch your back. The crime may appear dense on that map, but in reality, it's not like a stick-up happens every time y

That's true, but "48 hours to propagate" is misleading because it sounds as though that's business as usual for DNS -- instead of the reality, in which rogue DNS servers cache beyond domains's declared TTL.

I meant (and said) in technology . Not in general. In technology, in the Bay Area, right now, you can make a paper airplane out of a resume and get a job.

I've heard closer to 15% for the greater bay area. Not in technology, it's not.

That's a big dish of good old american entitlement. Not at all. It's a reflection on the current technology job market in the Bay Area. It doesn't last. f you were on the market during the last boom, the demand for engineers was far grea

In a normal job market that's good common sense, but in the current tech job market, where unemployment is somewhere around 3%, resume blasting ought to be more than enough. The problem is that companies -- particularly larger companies --

"We have the brainpower to take this on." We do? As a non-technical senator, you can make that engineering claim with confidence?
