A startup is a business - that's what it's short for isn't it, "start up business"? So a project is a project until it is something you want to turn into a business. Then you can call it a startup.

callmeed, my comment wasn't a counter-argument (I upvoted your comment), I was just adding on my 2 cents .

Getting six-pack abs is simple. Build muscle and burn fat by eating healthy, exercising and lifting weights. BUT... you've got to do that every day for a long time before you get results. It's the same with building a successful $10k/mont

Microwave = iPad Oven = PC/Mac computer Normally people wouldn't buy a microwave without also owning an oven... well, unless you're really cheap and don't care about your health!

I think by 'publishing' Jobs meant magazines/newspapers not books. But you're right, the Kindle does offer magazine subscriptions...

"Apple CEO Steve Jobs supposedly responded to some emails sent his way saying that the in-app subscription policy was meant for 'publishing apps, not SaaS apps'....It’s certainly possible that even the App Store reviewers were confused by t

Cool idea! Just out of interest, how long did it take you to build it?

Exaggeration definitely. But it's no secret that's what Apple does (holding back features they could already deliver for the sake of getting people to upgrade their hardware every year). Btw, I own an iPhone and MacBook so I'm not anti-App

It seems the long sales letter is slowly being replaced by video sales letters. Personally I think video sales letters would be more effective but they also have the inherent problem that people viewing the page at work (or other similar si

We all know Apple planed the iPhone 7 from day 1 and are simply staging it over a series of years to maximise profits. I expect Apple will start allowing screensaver/wallpaper type apps in the not too distant future. It'll open up another

Yeah, most people will get to you via a Google search. Then when you're big enough you can legally claim the prized .com URL from the squatters. ...just check first that it's not a legitimate company using the .com address.

Just tell the truth. Have a meeting with your boss, thank him for the opportunities and just explain that this is your dream job. I was in the same situation half a year ago, and I'm 100% glad I was totally honest about it. And like other

Yeah, easier said than done though. If you're really an entrepreneur it's pretty darn hard to be passionate about ONE idea!

Great story! And guys, I personally think the discussion should focus more on "...and Then Raised $1.5m for My Startup". He clearly has no hard feelings for YC and even said "they did the right thing". To me the story speaks of the reward

The term infographic has surely evolved though... It is essentially a graphic designed to communicate a topic/concept using visuals instead of words.

Diino is a good option. US$49 per year for unlimited back up. Also, Diino are quite big and offer white label back up services to large companies like ISP's. This is good to note as it shows they'll be around for some time.

Go to the local park and do some sprints on the grass. There's nothing more invigorating than running as fast as you can. After the sprints, fall on your back and do some sky gazing. The sprints clear your mind, the sky gazing relaxes you

I highly doubt the files are irretrievable. It's more likely it'd cost Yahoo a whole lot of time (or a large cost in getting specialist contractors) and they would rather just risk facing bad PR than coughing up the money. Maybe they'll do

This guy was ripped well into his late 80's. Haven't seen a photo of him in his 90's though - has anyone got any links of him in his final years?

"I'm not really a fan of apple", what will you buy when you ARE an Apple fan? Becoming an Apple fan happens slowly but surely - 2 years ago I'd never have thought I'd be typing on a MacBook.

Just some feedback, the color of your tabs should be reversed. The active tab should match the color of the page.
