Entirely different explanation: 1. India sets up the first few research organizations in Bangalore. - IISc, DRDO, HAL - decision being entirely strategic to keep them away from Pak. nukes. 2. Some engineers think too much on the long lunche

I am sorry but I don't take decisions like that.Infact most people don't follow decision trees. They go by instinct and then rationalize.

Microsoft seems to be on the roll (or should I say 'on the bing') With the smooth loading bing and now the open API, Microsoft seems to be taking the battle straight to Yahoo and Google's court. This time Microsoft does seem to 'get' the fu

I think wolfram alpha is a better deal than Cuil, but might get as bad a name because of their flawed positioning. The method does not work without domain specificity. Its not a general purpose tool. Marketing it as one is the biggest mista

I think before you want to make something like a CL killer, you first need to understand what is CL, why is that so popular as it is - essentially what is the primary driver of business for CL. As other would have already commented, it see

This is cool stuff. I think picwing will do great as a kind of clock for any kind of data, driven of the internet. For ex. 1. A web startup could use it to showcase their website metrics (visits,pageviews etc.) in real time. 2. Could be use

This is a really awesome write-up and lists everything I would have thought, but in a way I might not have been able to put acorss. To put it succiently, 1. Cut down expenses, right now and ruthlessly. Negotiate with everyone on everything.

I tried feedbackarmy - from a purely ROI perspective I think the usability methodology is flawed. It seems that the folks who give the feedback are actually trying to be a bit too helpful - to the extent that they think about questions as a

Take him as a co-founder - no doubt about it. Give him a 50/50 stake with vesting. It is best if you also clear leadership issues and decide on a CEO. The question that you should really be worried about is how to make it work (read manage

It needs to be done, there is no other way. Or as captain kurtz said .. "In a war there are many moments for compassion and tender action. There are many moments for ruthless action - what is often called ruthless - what may in many circums

Two things: 1. Just launch. You are about to quit anyways - so why not just launch, it obviously couldnt be worse. 2. Co-founder - I think two highly motivated founders is definitely ideal - but whatever little I have seen I think more ofte

I wouldnt really go so far to say that schools should be shut down because they do serve one good purpose - making friends (even though you could do that in other means), but its a good meeting point. The big thing that needs to go from sch

The rules are not for a startup. The rules are if you think of your real 'life' (like travel) as outside work and would hence like to spend as less time as possible for work and enjoy life for the rest. In a startup your work is the biggest

This is neat stuff. Actually we (reviewgist.com) could also do with something like this. Infact, we spent some time working on a similar system for our needs, but anticipating a dis-proportionate consumer response dropped it. But if you go

I think pg nails it when he says that talking to tons of investors takes up lots of time, and given the extremely low probability of a deal going through it comes out as extremely hard. One of the reasons that exacerbate this problem is the

You might not believe it, but I had the exact same idea sometime back. I think its brilliant(obviously ;)) - allow me to share some of the things I thought about. 1. I think the risk to bloggers not being fine with is overblown. Everybody l
