Without a regulatory body it would be too easy for an unqualified person to pose as an electrician, doctor, dentist or lawyer. Do you really want someone with no experience or training wiring your house, pulling your teeth, operating on you

Consider what this guaranteed $150k will do to other incubators. YC is going to be so much more attractive to other incubators, the best startups may not bother to apply to other incubators. Sure, there will be winners that go through other

Manpacks is hilarious, super well done, and the undies are good too. I can't wait for them to start sending me shampoo, soap and all that stuff in my manpack. I hate shopping.

To target this use-case they would need to limit the number of wide-eyed, open mouthed monkeys they use on their sales page.

I've ran into this problem so many times I've developed a workaround using various applications. Google maps on the iphone gets me the phone number. If I have to see a menu, UrbanSpoon or Yelp works sometimes. I don't even bother with mobil

I used to play high limit poker and it is quite common in the poker world for the best players to "share" themselves in a tournament or, more likely, in a game where the stakes are huge. Being able to self-fund isn't always reason enough to

This is a touching piece of writing. I think anybody who has lost someone close can relate to this. It is tough being pulled between continuing and mourning. You never know what to do, and no matter what you do you're no closer to the one y

This is great. I came to the same conclusion some time ago. Of course, I never articulated it so elequently. Anyway, anytime I bring new stuff into my house I take the same amount of stuff and put it in a box. About four times a year I call

I've done the sober equivalent to this (coffee shops). Not only did it point out some usability issues, like, "oh, he thinks THAT'S a button," it also proved to be a great way to generate ideas. Most of the input we received was dead wrong,

In a small startup the analog to this is turning on a wide-scale Google adwords campaign with no site optimization, no keyword optimization, and no idea about what your customers/potential customers want, and watching Google charge you $20

This is what Facebook would be if instead of having friends, every day you were thrown in with a group of 100 strangers and there was a video feed. Some people (especially men) act strange when they are in front of a bunch of strangers for

What matters: If you aspire to do something great, you need knowledge of what you are good at, a love for what you are good at, and you need to be good at something many people care about, but few people are good at.

I would love Apple to create a Photoshop competitor. As powerful as Photoshop is, there is a ton of room for simplification. You know there is a problem when software provides five different ways to perform a task, yet users have to have 5

Flash on the iPhone wouldn't end the App Store. Flash developers would still release in the App Store because it is easier to make money in the App Store than over the mobile web.

It seems like the argument presented should be testable using amnesia patients. Assuming that their past memories are erased and that all experiences are "new" and need to be fully encoded, shouldn't science be able to question them to see

You have a Chrome problem on PC. I haven't checked on a Mac yet. Apparently, Chrome is up to 6% of browser share, so it is probably worth supporting. I opened it up in Safari and it looks amazing. Really, your work is fantastic. The navigat

You will have to pay apple $99 a year to be able to provision for your phone. That same $99 will allow you to distribute through the App Store, and on up to 100 devices outside of the app store. Right now, you pay to provision on phones, ev

I have a feeling that 37signals has tested that page extensively. It may be that they convert better when the page designed that way. I personally like the sparseness of www.checkoutapp.com, but that doesn't mean that 37signals' page is "to
