I don't have an answer to your actual question about Google's motivations here, but I do think Street View is valuable, and what's genuinely valuable for users, eventually leads to money for the provider. However, I am genuinely curious why

I do the same, and I think that's the best approach. Your email password is just too important for anyone to have it. Just remember two strong passwords (email + LastPass), and you're reasonably secure.

I have been using thinkery.me, and find it much less cluttered and way faster than Evernote. They also have a nifty bookmarklet to add the current site on your browser to your notes.

greplin doesn't index content within files on dropbox, just the filenames. I am building a startup that does that i.e. it indexes your doc/pdf files (more formats coming), and allow you to instantly search through them. It's called grepfile

Please re-read my comment. I only spoke about the quality of the professors, which I maintain is better at IITs. Quality professors do not need to graduate from IIT. FWIW, I myself chose not to join IIT since I couldn't get into CompSci the

As another Indian who went through the above myself, I can vouch that srean's description is quite accurate. The only thing I would like to add is w.r.t. to the teachers - apart from the IITs (and a few other select colleges), most of the t

Why not create landing pages (with a good description) for all of your ideas? Then spend a small amount of money on adwords and see how many people respond/sign up? That will tell you which of your ideas have demand in the market.

This is definitely the best "Looking for a technical co-founder" post I have ever seen. While I can't help you (Rails guy, can't full time etc.), I wish you all the best. Something about your post tells me you will succeed :)

Well, to be fair to the physical retailers, all online retailers should pay sales tax since you are giving them a 10% pricing advantage otherwise. Amazon (and others) are exploiting a tax loophole, and the state governments are trying to st

That's a very smart idea. Even if you cannot give discounts, maybe you can give out free support, extra services (eg: extra storage for a Dropbox like service).

Interesting that they are now offering a SSD drive......does this mean they have now added the SSD TRIM command (or planning to add it in Lion)?

Anyone know how they created the scrollbar in the popup dialog boxes? It works in IE6 as well, though doesn't look as pretty as in Chrome/FF.
