What would it take for you guys at RWW to give him that second chance? Sounds like chat logs (as long as you believe they're not fake).

I'm really getting upset that people are learning about game mechanics. It was my little secret for so long. :(

The truth is an absolute defense. (Yes, I know it's impolitic - and Chris does the same "all the people I know will be told" line - but as one of those crazy transparency > feelings people, it'd be my preferred outcome. I only spent on

If you made this list of three VCs public, it would place much greater pressure on VCs to never, ever do this. Having a term sheet pulled is low probability, but it can all but kill the chances of closing a round.

Yes, Dawdle.com acts as a middleman between buyers and sellers. We got a merchant account through Paymentech and used Payflow Pro as our gateway to take money in and used PayPal's Mass Pay API to send money out (after an aborted attempt to

Given that my startup I not only had people paying me money and then turning it around and giving it out to others, I definitely know that pain. I just totally thought of it as core to the product; people generally have asked me about gate

I thought the cheaper iTunes downloads are still FairPlay protected AACs and only the $1.29 downloads are DRM free.

Sure, but most cartels fall over time as the players find themselves having divergent priorities. And even now, I'm going to tie myself to Amazon's MP3 store. I just got a Pre Plus and I'm never, ever going to buy a song from iTunes again

You just need to turn your "security for Startups" presentation into a nice set of 20 separate blog posts over the course of three months. Don't blog about your products; blog about your expertise and let people find your products. (There

I'm pretty sure Wilson's $5K includes all those other docs you list. At least that was my understanding when I spoke to Yokum a while ago. I did request that Wilson make a full list of what you get as part of an incorporation "package" and

You probably don't want it totally turnkey - I mean, you can - LegalZoom is the most well-known, but Wilson will incorporate you and give you the whole kit and caboodle for just $5k. Plus, if they like you, they'll make intros to angels an

A Python app? Surely there are like ten different liquidation models in Excel floating around the web. If there aren't any, let me know. I'll make one and post it.

I would bet you every last dollar I own that IE 6 users are, on average, the most lucrative users out there. You know how people here say "who looks at ads?" You can't click ads you don't see. And remember, standard user studies say that

I always thought you'd be crazy to not pick First Round over any other VC fund, but this actually seals it economically (if you believe there's value in the FRC's portfolio). Those guys are just so damn smart.

It's a little head-in-the-sand to suggest that restauranteurs and club owners and whoever else are going to be doing these sorts of things "a few times". These people are chefs and bartenders. They aren't Danny Meyer or something. They g

The problem with your freemium model is that there's no real incentive to jump up once you're over 50MM impressions. At over 50MM impressions, you have your own in-house ad sales force (or you should) and they can open the kimono to media

Let's talk about TC for a minute: 1) they send less traffic than they did back in, say, 2006. It's only 3,000-4,000 uniques. 2) one backlink from them doesn't appear to be worth crap any more in Google. Google (as far as I can tell) looks

Right, my point is that making good content may not be sufficient, but it is necessary. If you aren't making interesting content, the other stuff amounts to a rounding error. There are all sorts of people who will fiddle with tags and what

Isn't that the whole point of social media? Be authentic and don't sound like a PR? I, for one, give them a hell of a lot of credit for pushing back at Jason in this way. He's the one who brought up the subject, and it's fun to see people

I started teaching for Kaplan back in 2000, and pretty much used that as my credential. (I've since left Kaplan to work on Red Ivy Prep, my side project that aims to find repeatable TODOs based on learning styles. Thankfully, I have a sist

It was a lie, a lie that came off the top of his head, to do the standard thing of belittling/dismissing the competition. If anyone really believes he's never touched an iPhone, I have floating mountains in Pandora I'll let you mine for un

Agreed; I've been doing pro bono SAT teaching in inner city schools since 2000, but nothing can replace one-on-one SAT tutoring, which I've never seen a grant for.

In the U.S., we've effectively created segregated public university systems that preserve and extend the status quo even as HBCUs have trouble maintaining enrollments. In every major metropolitan area, there's at least one or two public fou

There were a number of people at the time who thought Red Octane were out of their fucking minds because of Konami's patents. What's worse than having to pay damages after the fact is the risk of an injunction at the moment after you've go
