Great! Turns out this speech was in fact recorded successfully and completely by Justin.tv, but apparently some others like Arrington's were not due to technical difficulties (like I remembered last year.) I was actually very nervous beca

Great post. I got the impression from three YCombinator companies last year that they thought they would be big. I witnessed entrepreneurs excited about creating an Outlook plugin, a video sharing site, and a PDF posting site. But, it wa

From what I understand, the matte screen is a glossy screen before it's coated with an anti-reflective material. Supposedly, some consumers saw "unfinished" displays at a computer show and liked them, and manufacturers noticed that custome

I got a laptop with a glossy screen because it makes things much more interesting when you show other people, but connect it to a matte display for development.

Congrats to the two people from ConnectU who post here--any thoughts? Did that ebook help sway Facebook's decision?

That is actually one of the steps. :) But I've been waiting for "instant approval" from JourneyEd for two weeks now for Microsoft's DreamSpark program.

Their regular pricing is still cheaper than godaddy, you still get 5 day domain refunds (as account credit), and $2 domain privacy. Bulk pricing gets you an extra 1.50 off and an Api.

If you get the 17inch high resolution Macbook Pro or the Mac Pro, you're talking about savings of $400-$500 by my estimate.

I actually choose to pay more. I'd rather pay the extra 55 cents by paying $7.50 to Dynadot (bulk pricing option) than Godaddy's after-discount price of $6.95. That's because there are no hassles in the shopping process, no inbox or snail
