Only my eyebrows; we once sold our stock in one; we talk quite frequently to the Reddit and Loopt founders; I'm not sure, maybe 1/3; we only make money if there's an exit; it depends whether the new idea is the same company-- bluefrog is; some crappy old Motorola flip phone; you would have to reach deep into the Arc libraries to do that.

You mean not getting an iPhone? Yes, because I already spend too much time online. The last thing I need is for it to follow me out into the world.

- What qualities make a strong leader when taking the business from the garage to the next level.
- Is he always calm? Does he ever get angry and throw things around?
- Has he ever 'cut off' a YC company from access to YC?
- What is the current relationship between YC and the early successful companies like reddit and loopt. Is there any? Do they call ever now and then?
- What proportion of YC applicants come from name-brand universities?
- If a YC company becomes a lifestyle company, does YC still profit? Or does YC only profit on a big sale?
- If a YC company folds and significantly changes, like DraftMix, is YC still involved in the new company, or do they lose their 6% when the company changes?
- What mobile phone does he use?
- Would he accept a patch to get rid of the tables on news.ycombinator and change to css?
