How many failures did we predict for Facebook and Google and only god knows how many other companies. There is at least one every week for Facebook. Windows & Microsoft aren't going anywhere. At least not any time in this decade.

I'm not commenting on whether OStatus will ever have these features. I'd like to just point out that what you're describing is absolutely disturbing. I'm talking about the part where you said that these people cannot be reached the other wa

I lived in Kansas City most of my life. Here is my take on living in Kansas City and building a start-up here. 1. Climate. There is no mild weather in KC. Summers are excruciatingly hot. Winters can sometimes be very cold and snowy. Tornad

Oh wow. This attitude is exactly why i don't post much on HN. Have fun being a dick.

Thanks for a down-vote. I don't see where i said i agree with it. I simply said their definition is simply different from the one floating around in the startup scene and i found it humorous. Whether it is right or wrong is your personal op

I find it amusing that 90% of 4chan's comments are misunderstanding the term "hacker" as it is applied to HN & the Startup scene.

The last game i purchased from Steam was roughly a little over a year ago and up to that point any game downloads would take days. I'm not on any kind of uber-fast connection (10mb) and never had any issues with any issues streaming or down

As a Kansas City resident, this is going to be inexplicably interesting. We have a pretty decent tech scene here. I'm just wondering how this will impact it, if it will at all.

Back in my more involved gaming days, Steam was a catastrophe for PC gaming. Other than picking up a game at a good price and automatically getting game patches from Steam, there was really nothing great about it. They had virtually no supp

I gave the idea of decentralized social network some thought after reading about facebook chat monitoring. Imho, privacy is becoming such a big concern that i think this is what the next generation of social networking will be like. Being a

PayPal is not going anywhere for the same reason Facebook is not going anywhere - over time both created a solid presence for non-technical users. No matter how cool squared looks i can guarantee you a typical paypal user won't care because

I suppose you'd be forced to buy books from your school's bookstore (where they're ridiculously overpriced) to get online access pass which, as i recall from my school years, expires after certain time since purchase and cannot be reused. I

Finally something to do while you're dropping a deuce (other than reading HN, of course). I don't know about a great idea, but it is a humorous one indeed. :)

But you see that was my point. I don't think there is a team or a good product to acquire here. It hardly compares to previous Google's acquisitions.

When Meebo announced getting bought out my response was: "Nice, generic and overenthusiastic post-acquisition blog post. They'll likely be shutdown within a few months." Turns out i was off by a few months in my prediction. I still don't un

I am still astonished at the fact that we even have SpaceX all while VCs are throwing money away to fund photo-sharing concepts to make photo-sharing easier than scratching an itch on your ass. I'm just amazed that there are wealthy people

But you wouldn't know what's in the file unless you buy it. So you can flag it after the copyright is infringed and the seller has money in his pocket.

It's a great idea, and i was actually working on something similar before. I've said it before, but what scares me to death is when folks start selling copyrighted material. There is nothing to protect against it and the whole things pretty
