Levandowski sold two companies to Google for $120M, while still being a Google employee.. That's where the funny money comes from.

It is very slow though! WebGL has a long ways to go.. (Macbook Pro with VGA and 8gb RAM)

I'm considering using it for my bootstrapped startup. Anybody know how it compares to ExtJS?

Meh. All I get is "37Signals?".

Yea, I don't think there are 50 sites out there that could boast those numbers.

If you can't monetize a billion pageviews in ways other than Reddit Gold, you've got to be kidding me.

TimesSkimmer was very good when it came out. But gradually, it has become very slow and somewhat unusable. I definitely think the Chrome version is much far ahead of the Skimmer. Skimmer used to open the article in an iFrame, which spoils t

Tangential question, does anybody know the song used in the commercial in the bottom video?

Use . to add tempo. Each full-stop adds a fixed amount of time before the next word is pronounced.

Facebook Platform, Graph API, Like Button, Social Applications - a few truly transformative things that have come out of facebook in the past few years. Saying facebook doesn't innovate is rubbish. Though they do tend to borrow an idea here

It'll always feel awkward if you attach navigation history to a modal display.

I agree with the poster, but doesn't $150 an hour seem unusually high for a freelance developer? It is equivalent to about $300k yearly - no developer makes that kind of money by programming alone.

How did the authors of the visualization get the checkin data for every venue in SF and NYC? I have been trying to do the same for another project, and it is not supported by foursquare..

Aside from the fact that this guy has produced some decent software, I can't believe that hardware/software configurations of random people is interesting discussion matter.

Ok - I'm curious. How do you lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean - a length that spans thousands of miles?

CORRECTION: Amazon Prime free for anyone with a .edu mail address. I graduated long ago, but my .edu mail address is for life, so I occasionally mooch on these discounts. Too bad I already ponied up for an Amazon Prime this year :|

While I agree with some of what he says, I still think he discredits online dating sites far too much. Being single in a city (SF) I moved into recently, I've tried both online & offline, and I'd say I'm more satisfied with my dates tha

No offense, but that app really blows. Really good on you if you were able to milk 30k out of it :)

Yea, this is indeed quite inane. I think a better strategy for Microsoft would be to partner with the top 100 websites (most internet users are likely to hit one), and have it display a prominent upgrade or gtfo message.

Well, this is a great way to get the Steam store on to my computer.

It is like FarmVille for real life! I think you should highlight that, definitely would get some eyes on the site. Maybe even a targeted ad on Facebook? Another suggestion (maybe you already do this) is to give detailed info on how to take

Well, you can definitely build a facebook alternative -- it will take a while, and it'll be probably not be up to par with what the top-notch talent at fb dishes out, but anyway, you'll build it. It is there. How would you convince people t

I've been using it, and I think the reason people like it is because of its obvious portability and accessibility. Internet is nice and all, but it is being able to watch netflix at the gym, kindle during the commute and have all my files t

Imagine (or draw) a dotted line where the zeroes are..Count the dotted intersections as contributing zero to the diagonal addition step.

Nice site. I've always believed that focussed social networks are the ones that work out in the end. However functionality-wise, the site is still very primitive. Lots of improvements are needed. Basic functionality like saving an article i
