I don't see why we are supposed to fix this problem. It's so much easier for Microsoft to do something about it, I mean seriously...how hard is it for them to add "Run as IE6" mode to IE9? That way companies can run their internal crap as "

showing the book title in text below the image really takes away from the experience. also on some books you can see the kindle in the background. search is also a bit buggy...i.e. it performs every search and shows you all the results..whi

not as exciting as you think, since the "rejection" happened as a nobody before he made his website.

it's kinda funny....Techcrunch makes it a point that they don't accept press releases...and they announce their acquisition with a press release.

why would you charge money of the first people you'd approach? The idea is to do give it to them for free and then you use their reputation to sell more of your own product.

Am I missing something? That client list isn't really that top notch(no offense intended). It's not like he is starting out with Techcrunch and Mashable as clients. I haven't even heard about any of them besides balsamiq and his own asmartb

i honestly don't get these services. the market is too insignificant. Even if you get 100% market share, you'll end up with something like 1000-10000 users, most of which will be the business type looking for a code monkey. can anyone actua

I've said it time and time again...college is not that tasking...at most you'll spend 20-25 hours a week on it. With half of that being bullshit classes you are taking as a requirement. Which gives you a ton of time to work on your startup.

stackoverflow is useful? they have one of the worst search engines I've ever seen. If you are looking for anything more specific than "Javascript" you are going to have a hard time finding good results. if I need to find something on stacko

you are forgetting that we are talking about a startup here...they can't afford $12K for a designer. And who cares about consistency..it's just something to use for a few months until the site gets profitable to get someone good. You just d

well you do need a good design, the web has matured...if your site looks like crap people will leave. but you don't need a designer for that. 1. istockphoto gets you a ton of illustrations that you can use to spice up your pages. 2. 99desig

negotiate with all of those companies to lower the total, then get one of those 0% apr for 9-12 months. Use the checks they give you, to pay down your debt. This way you'll be down to 4-5K and you won't pay any interest on it for a year...w

i had to laugh when he mentioned Christie as his inspiration, since he was the one who took a huge chunk out of the education budget. Frankly, that money(well it's $100mm in facebook stock) would have been better spent on Donors Choose. At

i kinda feel the opposite way, in the bookstore you base everything on the cover/thumbing through it...with Amazon you can actually read customer reviews and see if the book is worth it.

a breaking story would name names...him not naming names just means he can use this as a hammer to get better terms for Techcrunch(either I get exclusive to every deal you guys do...or your names will be posted)

what they say in public doesn't always match what they say in private.(i.e. just take the whole demandmedia "we are super profitable...HONEST!") in private, I'd bet that they are looking to build this up for 4-5 years, then sell it off to i

def the right decision...you have a ton of value in the domain alone...so you'll always have the option to sell no matter what. meanwhile, you can try getting it a bit more modern, get a few more paying customers, and like you said...when i

good luck, ww does have a ton of potential. I think we are at a point where people expect web 2.0ish sites. So if your site doesn't look the part, they think they are viewing an abandoned project.

sure there are...but do you think a company would want to interview someone from 500 miles away? How much must they suck...that they have to be desperate enough to seek a job that far away?

I don't see why people make such a big deal about karma...it doesn't affect anything...and noone can see it without checking your profile. And that's coming from someone who was #3 karma wise on this site.

Yes as a single founder you get to wear a lot of hats...but most of those things tend to be one offs. The rest are routine, which are easy to manage by making a to-do list the day before.

at this point groupon has more or less a monopoly so they can easily rape the businesses.. but this article seems to blame groupon instead of the business owner. 1. why would you price your promotion at a loss? 2. losing "$8,000" may sound

that's what we have now... are you seriously suggesting that we should outsource the "minting" of our money? are you insane?
