We've been frustrated to the point of abandonment on trying to install a Blackberry simulator to test out jquery-mobile apps. Similar story to tell--just kept hitting wall after wall of poorly thought-out and poorly documented steps. It's a

In my experience Rackspace is good at providing customer support on top of single managed server instances. Their Cloud Sites and Cloud Files offerings (akin to ec2 and s3) feel less than stable, and their management interface encounters u

The other way to solve this problem would have been for TV manufacturers to install limiters in TVs. The technology has been around for decades but it has never caught on. Regulation is a less-ideal solution to the problem vs technology b

Talk with some web designers who have been looking for a decent gui tool for git. They don't want to learn to use command line and aren't happy with existing tool support. They are your market. Go to a local designer meetup group and sel

Very cool, very usable. Where you could improve: seems rather slow to load on Safari/Mac. Also bothers me that the mouse-over for sections near 333 is off-screen at 1280x960. Could you have it show up on the other side of the pin, just li

I've had Safari lose my sessions multiple times recently, including just now when iTunes lost my session multiple times while trying to edit account info. I'm assuming iTunes (on Mac) uses Safari under the hood?

Facebook used to lose my session when I was using Adium to connect to Facebook chat. Haven't used the Adium/Facebook integration recently, but give that a look if it bugs you.

In response to the security threat posed by terrorist babies climbing into luggage bins, the TSA has decreed that all children under the age of 8 are hereby forbidden from entering airports. Take that, terrorists!

Atlas Shrugged - finally got around to reading it after dozens of recommendations from good friends. Shocking how relevant and prophetic it is, especially with respect to the events of 2009.

>> The beneficiary of this "interest" is the monetary issuer (the central bank) Seems like the beneficiary of the "interest" is anyone who holds debt against that currency. For instance, if I borrow $1k from a good friend who charg

You're absolutely correct, but in evite's case they are storing them permanently. That's actually the reason I posted this was that I forgot my password and requested a reset (~5 years after signup) and they sent it to me in plain text.

Need a descriptive catchphrase under your logo. I like how you have lots of whitespace but it feels empty, need to add more content, especially on the right side. It's not immediately apparent how your app is different from a blog... And I

My experience so far with BackType has been decent. I'd love to see it integrated with a service like Google Analytics since conversations are becoming a more significant part of analytics these days.

Yeh I didn't think about that either, but I suppose it's true at least for the short term--especially for hiring! Long term it'll depend on the strength of the dollar, especially if all the new bailout money causes significant inflation.

Correct. I think we're comparing two different things. I was talking about YC-style seed-stage funding vs other startups. You were talking about YC vs TechStars. Apples and oranges. No disrespect to TechStars, that's just not what I wa

I'd wager that YC companies are statistically more fund-able or exit-able than other similar stage startups out there. They've been through a round of screening, chosen and mentored by successful entrepreneurs who do it for a living--it's

One of the big advantages of YC is the notoriety associated with being a YC company. Easier introductions to press, investors, and partners. Notice how much coverage YC companies got on TechCrunch this last round? There's a reason, it's
