   Happy to see them working with Pivotal, that gives me a lot more confidence in them. They're working with top notch mentors.

   Ideally you could create both, do some split testing and see which one converts better. From my experience (I work at a freemium startup) I recommend going with one bundle plan. Fewer choices is usually easier otherwise they're worrying abo

   Awesome for both of them. In a related note: can someone reply to my comment so I can test Notifo's HN integration?

   I'm pretty sure the founder of EY is the one (not) mentioned in this TechCrunch article... http://techcrunch.com/2010/05/28/oops-beware-the-accidental-... I hope it's true and I hope it changes his life. VMWare has a decent track record

   I've seen that before. Interesting technology. Spring Roo shows some improvement in that regard too (although not the compiling after changes part). I've actually gotten to use groovy/grails for a lot of new projects/enhancements and that i

    I use Java primarily in my day job, but usually RoR in my side projects (unless I'm using something else just to pick up the language/skill). I think the reason you don't see Java in startups as much anymore is that it's neither rapid nor e

    I recommend a contract type relationship for a couple weeks or month, something where you can actually see their work, how they work and if they are a good fit for you. Just arrange it so you own all IP if it doesn't work out. As far as fin

    Wow. I just bought a Pre a month ago. At least they'll continue to be a going concern (and able to provide me with support ;) I was hoping Palm would be able to make it independently somehow, though. This would be an awesome thing if WebOS

    Fantastic work. I wonder how long before this sort of thing can be used to do 3D development on the mobile web for devices with full browsers (iPhone, Palm Pre, Android, etc...)

    They found me at Dog Patch Labs. It was tight. I'm in. $4million + $1million (they included all the open source LOC in their equation too, suckas!)

    I'd rather have a space escalator that way it could never break, it would just become stairs. @see Mitch Hedberg

    I actually think it's the opposite. I find that when talking to someone I'm watching their face for expressions. PG and JL come across as completely open and their expressiveness helps you feel like you understand what they're thinking/how

    Hey Andrew, thanks for the feedback. Although the site is formatted for the mobile screen, it actually works just fine in a browser. Your location can be sent through FF, among other browsers, and our site will work just as it does on the m
