I follow Andreessen and a few of the other a16z folks on twitter, and every day they are tweetstorming what appear to be very insightful opinions and predictions on a whole slew of industries. And then I wonder if these guys are actually or

Fascinating in what way? The guy is smart, successful, and he deserves what he's achieved. That he's found the opportunities he's capitalized on isn't his fault.

No disrespect to Sam in any way -- he truly seems like a brilliant guy with a chorus of influential people behind him -- but I've been on a successful-person wikipedia binge as of late, and it's become very, very clear that a pers

What exactly is the point of this post? If it is truly to help the people at Rocketr better position their product, then I would think the 100+ comments in the original thread provided more than enough feedback. In fact, this article adds n

I don't want to be that guy, but as someone in the medical field, I take issue with OCD being thrown around so casually as a good thing to have. It's a legitimate mental disorder that can cause its sufferers a lot of turmoil. I absolutely

I cannot stand their new aesthetic. I saw a demo of Metro on a tablet at the Microsoft store a few weeks back and was really, really turned off. Why are the app squares of variable sizes? The guy accessed a settings menu out of nowhere. I w

Something about this just doesn't seem legitimate. Also, in the fine print at the bottom: "The images on this website are examples only. Actual products may not contain the same design or functionality as featured on this website. "

Off-topic, but you've been awfully critical and quick to judge as of late, Thomas. You've already shot this company down without seeing the product.

Looks like someone's trying to get another corporate employee fired through criticism and a lack of practical advice.

This isn't about Apple, though. This is about Jony Ive. And although people here might know who he is and what influence he's had over the years with creating such iconic designs, I highly doubt that the every day person on the street knows

Congratulations to him! Although people will often credit Jobs with the creation of Apple's products, it's great that Jony is getting recognition here. I can't even imagine the amount of time and effort he and his team must've put in to dev

Yeah, what a wild ride it must be for him right now. Suppressing the urge to feel envious is proving to be increasingly difficult.

Yes, and that time constraint is due to biological processes that can be planned for ahead of time.

Except that having a child is a readily achievable goal that anyone can reach at any time they choose to. The decision to have a child, whether at a younger or older age, is almost entirely up to the two consenting adults. Hoping to strike

I really don't like the message of this post. I think the arbitrary expectations people in the startup world place on themselves do a great deal of harm. I actually regret being exposed to the startup world at such a young age of 17/18. I b

How does that have anything to do with improving the iPad's existing type functionality? Plus, my mom (and I assume many, many others) has completely switched over to an iPad and manages all of her emails on it. I'm sure she'd appreciate be

I felt The Lean Startup could've been written in one-fourth of the amount of pages Ries used. There was a lot of fluff to wade through and I kept thinking "Come on, come on! Where's the good stuff? Where are the principles and case studie

I'm not sure if I'm in the minority here, but I just cannot have music pumping into my ears when I'm trying to focus. I do a lot of self-talking when I'm trying to learn or work out a problem; so if I just can't hear my 'head voice', I ca

No, it was actually EtherPad. The link to it obviously does not work, unfortunately.

People in this space live in a thickly-lined bubble if they think something like Evernote is changing the world. Wisdom is not suddenly bestowed upon you because your note-taking service was recently valued at $1+ billion. I have always had

Right, so, no counterargument or evidence being provided from Kickstarter is OK in criticizing them, and any evidence that this person may have a history of causing similar types of drama is 'uninteresting'? You're persistent in asking peop

Before this gets out of hand: PG, I think it'd great if you added another HN guideline that states that people should wait to hear both sides of an issue before stating their opinion, especially when it comes to these premature PR 'blunders

You know, that's a question I think about quite frequently. Companies like MS and Google have all the money in the world, and yet it seems they are not able to hire teams of designers that can really nail a usable interface. I play with my
