YC has proven that it is capable of returning results that beat the market. Few other incubators are able to replicate the success of YC. As an incubator, it is an outlier. Is an outlier a good "control" sample to prove that th

Full discloser: I'm a founder at Cloudtenna. AeroFS is a great option for file-syncing. Compare public file sync (Dropbox), private file sync (AeroFS), and traditional network file shares (CIFS/NFS). Can you risk files in the pub

I love that Twitter announced it via a tweet. Good work dogfooding their own product :)

I consider "sync" to only be a feature of Dropbox. Its the absolute best way to get files into their cloud storage platform (as compared to something like uploading files manually via a web portal). But I think the value of Dropbox is in t

Fantastic approach. Great post. My takeaways: (1) Look for unconventional ways to create a MVP (2) Hustle is a very valuable asset to a startup. For startups with high hustle-to-technical ratios, they may consider building a culture aroun

I like this proposal very much. On the other hand, it reminds me of a quote by Sam Goldwyn... "A spoken contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."

Yes. A better comparison.

Big! Search will fit seamlessly in the Facebook experience. I bet we soon forget that Facebook didn't always have this function.

I think this a big deal. The first step to a Yelp killer? Type in "Italian Restaurant" and get back list of all the restaurants your friends have checked into. A recommendation engine. For now, its mostly to filter your facebook data. B

Thanks pg! I expect another strong YC class this session. We've submitted our app already, but I am happy those on the east coast aren't denied by something out of their control.

Bold action often results in great things. Apple has always strived to couple great hardware design with great software. Excited to see them bring the two departments closer again.

I love this post. There is no doubt in my mind that the file system (as we know it) is dead. Daily workflows are becoming more and more integrated with the social graph. Its one thing to manage your own file set, but try keeping track of ev

The secret sauce is in the case. Touch + a trackpad is necessary to use both metro and the traditional desktop UI. Could be a good compromise so I can keep using legacy desktop apps until all the new metro apps are ready.

I think the case is what is most interesting. Keyboard + trackpad. Good bet by Microsoft. They are trying to shift the tablet market away from "a bigger smartphone" and back into their bread & butter desktop environment. They hope to

The next big stage of cloud storage is integration. Integration into 3rd party apps. Integration deep into devices (iCloud for iOS and Google Drive for Android). This was a "must" for Google for Android to remain relevant.

Could try SMEstorage. I think they have an "aggregation" concept like this. I think this article misses the point of the these new cloud solutions though. I'm not a fan of aggregation. The next big stage of cloud storage is integration.
