I'll bite: I did. My logic: almost everyone who succeeds did so with a trail of 'no' behind them and the only way to get those is to put yourself out there. YC's application was something I labored over for a couple weeks and feel I got a g

Congratulations, man! I'm transitioning to this sort of thing myself (going from 6 figures to a pt gig, 2 days a week). My suggestion: get a whiteboard, now. Don't do anything but decompress for the next few days (i.e.. fuck off) and write

I'd get Rachel Sequoia to design mine.

I've had the opportunity to meet with and talk with Woz before. The man really can't be anything but honest and he just loves talking - to anyone - about technology. He's almost the anti-Apple in that respect.

Going through their application... I think their Challenge should be to really revamp it. I feel like I have to click Save after ever field or I'll be redirected to some random page when I click "Next."

For me, I am not motivated by money but rather motivated by the things I can continue to create with larger sums of it. I am a creator, inventor by nature... I've done it all my life. Having the money to sort out the pithy details of day-to

I can understand your disappointment but at the time of your posting it was barely the 7th. It seems you have already discounted yourself long before today happened... which is a shame.

It IS Mac vs PC all over again. The main reason PC "won" initially was because it got the consumer mindshare first and became more rapidly adopted by the masses. As for the specs you're throwing out: my mom doesn't care about specs, cores,

Talkatone still exists to this day allowing for Google Talk functionality up to, and including, Google Voice calls over 3G.

Isn't that just the same as "entrepreneur?" I kid, I kid.

Usually I come here for the intellectual discourse on a variety of technology and business topics. All that went through my head, line after line, was "oh no he di-ent!"

Yes it is. Amazon beta tested it for years in the enterprise and is now releasing it as a consumer service.

Closing down? I'd say significantly rebranding. We'll see, most likely, the week of June 6th.

I submitted early Feb and I feel the same way. I actually resubmitted once or twice to change how far we had gotten (lines of code) and new competitors that cropped up (note: more than you'd think in such a short period of time). Oddly, wha

I do 24 hours 1-3x a week but with a twist. Most people think "24 hours" and think "in the same day." I will eat breakfast and lunch one day and then nothing until dinner time the following evening. It still accomplishes the 24 hours (more

I am not saying that I judge a book by its cover, but I won't put an ugly icon on my home screen. I might bury it in the one folder I have if I like it enough (I'm looking at you, Evernote, iTap RDP). Just sayin'

Pardon the n00b question, but: what's the general vibe? any agenda? RSVP'd and excited to check it out Friday. :)

Being on myspace hardly qualifies one as "alive" ... it may even indicate the contrary.

Even silly things like the mail client Sparrow. I had to use gfxCardStatus to get anything more than 2-3hrs of battery life because my mail client is trying to get "fancy" on me.

It is possible for them to detect this if they are doing Layer 7 inspection. All it would take is parsing the user agent to see that you're not on Mobile Safari. On the iPhone side, it just does a NAT and theoretically passes all informatio

I wonder: is it something like how Time Machine works? In that each file is mirrored and unmodified ones are hard linked through editions? I can't imagine that being space efficient but I wouldn't put it past them. AFAIK OSX doesn't have an

On a semi-related note: apparently simply refreshing your browser increases the view count. I had gotten excited for a minute!

"I can't see many of these selling <i>to tech-savvy people like me</i>" -- there. I fixed that for you. Chrome OS isn't trying to tackle an existing market any more than Nintendo's Wii was trying to target the hardcore gamer

The truth is: most companies have no interest in providing you a big bump as their additional input will not dramatically improve your output, if at all. If you want to market yourself better - then do it where it counts: get out there and
