I think they'll do it this time. They'll get the legacy stuff in a "blue box" (or was it yellow box) the same way that Mac OSX did. If they can make Office work, that's game, set, and match. Look, the OSVs only choices are Windows and Ubu

I think Pownce does this.

One, there's already plenty of competition: Etsy and Amazon are just the tip of the iceberg. There's a whole ecosystem of blogs out there on this. Start with Randy Smythe and AuctionBytes. I'm not going to outline our strategy to expand b

Hmmm... wasn't planning on applying for Winter, but we're working on the auctions one. (Although I think auctions is the wrong way to look at - looking at marketplaces in general makes more sense.)

Well, this is actually an indication that the law is working as intended for this industry - the employer can't find a permanent resident for this technical position at market rates, so is sponsoring someone from overseas to meet that need.

At first glance, I wanted to say your lawyer is an idiot. But then I took a deep breath and came to my senses. He's not an idiot, but he doesn't know what a startup (in the HN/YC sense) is. Most "small businesses" are never candidates fo

We just got one. Co-founder isn't about the title, it's about the state of mind. Our company started with having a local dev firm doing initial coding, then we got him to do some work on the site on nights. Then he decided he really wante

I think this is a pretty misleading OpEd. It would be crazy to think that management broke fiduciary duty here (as the article implies, with the references to legislatures/taxpayers). It was twenty years before GM saw competition from the

I wear a blazer when I leave the home/office for this reason - I always have a Mead (or whatever Walgreen's has on sale) top-flip spiral notebook in the inside right breast pocket. Good for notes, thoughts, and writing down phone numbers.

Get the advance of $1,000 if you're worried that it will take so long. If they're so confident they can get there, then you're fine. Standard book author terms - hooray for precedent that strengthens your position. Again, they think that

We use MT's Dedicated Virtual offering - it's "in the cloud", but it gives us full on root access. If you go that way, however, get a box without Plesk pre-installed. Ugh.

I submit that they're meeting demand precisely. They still are winning the sales wars, in all markets, every month. The idea of a "shortage" is a myth. Plus, they're being smart and shipping units to Europe instead of here, given that the

This is really tough - we have a product that I was sure would be covered all over the place, on both the gaming and the tech blogs. (Online marketplace just for gaming, as I think most people here know.) But we launched without inventor

I can't believe no one has said U of I yet - University of Illinois. Lots of top-tier coders, from Marc Andreessen to Max Levchin, went there. However, as with the case with all the other public schools (non-CA) mentioned so far, you will

We use Share A Sale for our (newly launched) affiliate program. However, the bigger sites generally aren't in their network, so you don't get top tier placement across the web.

I spent a lot of time bellyaching about this when starting my company - looking at PHP, Perl (preferred by the devs), and Python (preferred by the advisers I trust). In the end, we went PHP, and it was hugely lucky - we were able to hire a

We do the standard anti-fraud stuff and have very good relationships with the credit card companies. Knock on wood, it's been a manageable problem so far.

You know, that's been our biggest issue - people approach the differentiators very differently depending on their experience. As a result of that, we've had a devil of a time really getting the benefit statement and the elevator pitch down

My site, I'll answer - because you're guaranteed to get paid. We handle the payment processing, and only notify a seller that you've sold an item after we've captured payment. There's no PayPal two step. As a seller, you don't care who
