Lot of you guys are blaming the merchant for agreeing to such a deal. While I agree that the cafe owner should have worked out the economics of the deal, but you seem to be ignoring the merchant perspective across all these Groupon deals. T

i view such stories (emphasizing on controversy) more as link bait than anything else. There are several folks who are perfectly happy working @ GS and other big firms. Dont make bold and brash statements simply for the sake of it. Its a 'T

i have a 2 bed/2 bath close to caltrain station. depending on where you live in san jose, the rent could be cheaper than sunnyvale.

commute takes anywhere between 45-60 minutes - i take caltrain to work. driving stress and parking costs are too significant - hence the train.

I guess a lot of the initial slides are in terms of reusable django apps out there. While what Eric is saying is not wrong, I just think that its hard to enforce certain programming style on these app developers. Some of the apps are coded

Unfortunately, I'm not a VC so cant offer a response that'd do justice to your question. Most of the VC investments happen based on the team and little based on the idea (at least thats what I've read everywhere) - so I guess the founders i

Platforms like posterous and tumblr rely heavily on scale - ie, a large number of users. So, their first priority is to get as much users on board as possible from other publishing platforms. Once they reach a certain threshold, they can st

One of my friends who works on a Z mainframe told me that the last time their mainframe was 'rebooted' was about 4 years ago. Hows that for downtime ?

the social networking site if I'm not mistaken is www.yaari.com (targeted towards indians) -- as someone who's closely followed the indian startup scene, i seriously doubt if they had anywhere close to 2 million users. besides, think about
