Agreed. Though it should not become a youtube, where you can find anything. The reason I like Netflix is because its a great place to watch a few things well. I too feel TED is a welcome addition.

Wonder what makes Netflix more desirable with this partnership. TED content is free AFAIK. Some benefits I can think of: - Making TED content more accessible across devices/platforms? (Netflix has better device reach) - Applying Netflix's

One of my friend got a notice from Optimum Online for downloading Adobe Photoshop sometime last year. So I think yes, there is marginal policing that is going on form ISPs already. I think this probably is a better solution than RIAA going

Agree, that is an option to make it easier to decide to upgrade. The question is are you (and the others who sold their iPad2) gadget freaks that lust for new stuff, or do you really see a value in the upgrade. What I am trying to figure ou

Wonder how many are willing to upgrade from Ipad 2? I have an Ipad 2, I don't see a need to upgrade. I am sure the tablet devices will follow a similar cycle as iPhone. Upgrade once in 2 years. I am beginning to wonder, the only aspects tha

I cannot agree more on this. I am facing a similar predicament and with me being here in India right now around my mom. I have taught her how to copy and paste files from PC to USB drive. She is a teacher, speaks english and is generally ad

Good article. On a tangential note about shoplocket, I feel it is focused entirely on the seller. You can allay some of my fears as a buyer about the guarantees and security I have buying through this. It says risk free, but again for the

Here are the problems that I have constantly seen: - You can hardly track them - There is no prior appointment made before delivery. You have to be on the lookout. - Unreliable. They rarely keep up their time/day. - You miss the delivery a

Very useful! Just a very small nitpick (not something you should lose your sleep over at all) - upon navigating to a link and then clicking browser back button doesn't take me back to the location I was at. I would even recommend opening l

It would take way more than just a price comparison/best-deal site to compete (let even kill) Flipkart. Flipkart is executing certain things in this market very well: - 1) A fantastic delivery/courier system (in major cities). They have hom

I have a netflix account (paid via a valid USA credit card that I can still legally operate), but now reside in India and cant' stream. I ended up buying a VPN account in USA (StrongVPN) to stream. I think what media companies need to under

Maybe its more fundamental? - People do it if they know they aren't going to be exposed (like downloading illegally) and they won't if there was a way to expose them (say via facebook/blog)? Just a theory. I still believe downloading illega

I am not sure if people here acknowledge stealing/pirating movies/music as an acceptable act. What we want is for the movies that we genuinely purchase (be it as a DVD or a direct download), to be more accessible and available on different

So, I am guessing, the ATT will not be leveraging their partner networks much now. I was in MN back then (when I took the trip). ATT was expanding then in north mid-west. Even in MN, their coverage improved between 2007-2010. I was driving

Interesting, I dint know that. I had an interesting experience with ATT. I was into the 6 month of a 2year contract back in 2007. I wasn't using my phone much (non-iphone). But then I went on a road trip to Yellowstone, which included dri

The premise of the author is the separation of economical benefits from what you are passionate about. Sure, if you are making money (more than just making ends meet) by doing what you love, you can have your cake and eat it too. The simple

Congratulations! I am sure its a proud moment after taking the big step in life :). A nice concept as well (btw, the hackernews effect is slowing down/timing out your site). On a tangential note (maybe), are you also liking running the star

The reference I can quote here is from a recent essay PG wrote: http://paulgraham.com/stypi.html . Watch the definition of startup #10 (Avoid Distractions) - http://www.stypi.com/hacks/13sentences The other source again from PG, that I c

I am not surprised or in awe that he is putting in 16 hours a day. Every passionate founder would likely be doing it. I am sure most of us have heard Steve Job's on how building a company is usually a 18x7 work-week. What I am in awe and ad

This is extortion of sorts right? I mean, yes they could fire the employee for genuine reasons, but if there is a way to prove that the conversation did occur, where the execs did tell the employee to return the unvested stocks in order to

Pathetic. Very disappointed to see this. This is the cancer that sets the stage for other startups as well. How is one supposed to decide which startup to work for and at what stage in the startup to join? I liked the 37Signals principles w

Firstly, this looks very interesting and from the screenshots seems very impressive. It doesn't work for me as well (Macbook / Lion 10.7.1). I DON'T see "com.radiosilenceapp.nke.PrivateEye" listed as well. I haven't moved the app to a diff

It is not very clear from your website so have a few questions: - do you transcode on your servers to support different devices? - it appears from the techcrunch article your PC based players are using RTMP. which essentially is a flash b

I agree. It just clears the air up whether i can create and work for my own. The other part that I feel is impeding is the minimum wage requirement. Its hard to pay myself 45k (or whatever is the min wage).

by shad0wfax 15y ago
This is great and expected news for the last few weeks, but is it true that you need to be employed with minimum wage? That sucks! If I want to startup, I have to definitely go full time now and there is no way I can pay myself that wage. T

The problem is the start. Self taught folks usually find it hard to break into the mainstream, unless they have already done stuff on their own (startup) or are known in the open source community. The CS degree guarantees a channel to enter

I experienced intermittent issues. It tried retrieving the content to stream and failed. This lasted for about 20-30 mins. Was using wii streaming during that time.
