The media ruins everything through overexposure and pathetic coverage, from politics to celebrities to crime. I think it is a bit unfair to take it out on sports and competition. What people like Michael Phelps do is nothing short of amaz

Competition sports are historically good for entertaining (actively and passively) billions of people. Do you have an alternative activity which is as engaging to as many people? Why not be entertained by watching fellow human beings push

Read the Terms and Conditions ( http://www.ijango.biz/Portals/1/IJANGOTermsConditions072809.... ) to find out what $149 + $19.99 monthly fee can buy you! I feel angered for all the people that will inevitably be burned by iJango. What are t

Sincerely out of ignorance, are there (or have there ever been) any free market health care systems which have been considered widely successful (by the public, not the providing companies)?

Being anywhere but right behind or right above the plate is going to make it difficult to tell if the pitch was a ball or a strike. Regardless of a dead center or offset camera angle, they are both from the outfield, which makes visually i

Because a large number of investors and potential clients read Techcrunch, so having your startup mentioned on the site does a lot for your notoriety amongst the business crowd. While Hacker News, Engadget and Gizmodo might be more interes

To me, this site is about consistently seeing well thought out and educated comments, not a place to let everybody express their viewpoint or opinion just because they have one. I never hesitate to upvote comments which are not in line wit

When looking for a job, the work from multiple companies can all seem just as enticing. If I'm going to be happy working at any one of the companies, good perks can put one ahead of the other. And besides, if the perks are outstanding enou

I will never ever understand all the hate for Vista. Excusing the annoyance of UAC, it is their best effort yet. Not without problems. Not without missing features when compared to your favorite OS. Not an incarnation of a perfect OS by a

Maybe. But as a paying MLB.tv customer, the Silverlight implementation was TERRIBLE. Despite having all year to make improvements, the thing never worked even remotely correctly. I scolded myself as I signed up this year, but there reall

Reading over Popcuts' site, they don't proclaim anything about your ability to make a profit or start a new living by buying music off their site. In their about section, they specifically angle it as getting something back for having 'goo

I don't think the reason this is not in is because of the number lines of code. You are correct, it would probably be trivial. But, the ability to reverse a vote, unless restricted to a very short period, would encourage group think and c

From my experience, Google's customer support for it's paid Google Apps could use a ton of improvement,to the point where I think it is a significant weakness exploitable by companies with similar paid services and better support. They are

X-Ignore-X is longer than close, which I suppose would mess up the packet length. Or maybe having an unrecognized value for the Connection key would still default to a close? Just guessing here.

Oh no, people are having fun on the internet! Quick, somebody write an article on time.com and stop them! If people enjoy sharing random things about themselves, then let them be. I personally think the 25 Things fad, while maybe a bit 'l

http://forum.modrewrite.com/ has really helped me a couple of times. Just about any reasonable rewrite scenario you can think of has been asked and answered somewhere in the archive.

I think in many cases outpacing the big players might be true, especially when the big players are known for mucking new pursuits up, but in this particular case, the startup is trying to take on niche functionality of search which Google i

Validated by players that are very likely to crush any start-up into oblivion. I wouldn't be too excited ;).

Take this with a grain of salt, as I may have judged this too quickly, but I was not impressed. The tutorial linked is indeed pretty solid and it was trivial to get Scalr up, but the product itself seems half finished (which to be fair mak

I like the idea. Though, in its current form, probably not enough to pay. As a suggestion, I think the site could be little more fun/game-y instead of looking like a list of articles. And maybe make the current hot/popular prediction be t

I think it was probably meant more in the 'companies in OUR portfolio' sense than the literal 'these are OUR companies'.

Just ridiculously solid. Not very often I check out a site and inadvertently end up spending over an hour playing around. Although, I wish it hadn't been 2 in the morning when I stumbled upon this. Thanks for the creation and good luck.

Yes. You will be able to play around with the Animator before you register (except in the private beta). However, unlike Minivid, you will not be able to save or publish until you have registered.

We chose 'Portfolio' because we think the analogy carries well -- Fuzzwich allows you to create a portfolio of animations. We also just like the sound of 'Portfolio' better than 'Account' :). You can do captions, and the comic world is one
