still better than me ... abc123

They are utterly 'irrelevant' i don't care if they make money or not. but they are barely relevant. and this is actually worse than dying. They are everywhere yet nowhere.

What exactly Yahoo is, can someone explain LIM5. and who their target customers are consumer or corporate???

I am not talking their subsidiaries, just Yahoo. Alibaba is cool, but that's not enough.

They are not even trying at anything. They are not even exploring anything.

All I can say, they can do better than this.

'I will remain loyal to the state and constitution' ... where does it say 'remain loyal to its people' ?

Ok there is a lesson for us too (startups)., when you are a small, and can not fight conventional war with bigger competitors, you have to be unconventional. or simply nuke your competitors don't compete them if you want to stand a chance

Google is a prime example. Money alone can not buy love, and can not buy success either.

It's not 1995 when your windows was shinning everywhere. psst!!! they don't get cloud and and trends, too bad they didn't learn it from Gmail either.

What actually is the point of posting it here, when one can not download it?

For Small business, growth even could kill their business. that's where wisdom comes in, sometime you have to slow the pedal of sales, to focus on customer retention. my current strategy has been to pile enough funds before the next stage growth., and dividing growth into stages, we deliberately don't sale, just to manage current customers. It's slow but for sure.

I am of the view commercialism has overwhelmed or outrun the innovation than ever?

As a Pakistani myself, I don't find it charming, because back in home it means nothing, playing games with such devotion only would lead one jobless or burden on the family. But still I applaud the efforts of this lad. But this is something we 3rd world are far from seeing as a career or money making opportunity. I wasn't surprised that only this year China has allowed the manufacturing and sales of Game consoles., previously it was all banned. I myself had to stay from gaming away in my teenage despite all the excitement I always managed myself to keep it at distance, to lead a healthy career. Today is one of those days I realize that me and my US cousins live in a different world, a really different one.

The whole story wasn't settling well with me, I meant, whatever happened, we are talking about hundreds of Million here, and it didn't seem adequate that the owner of this company would get away, merely because hackers hacked their system. He should have been behind bars, no matter what.

is there one of me?

Any tech that is invented, and implanted on human beings, without studying the humans themselves. is bound to fail. Humans are smart mammals and they do appreciate anything that's smart, however they didn't come from a fancy space ship as google has established. they were born on the earth. that is full of colors, breeze, green fields.

on a serious note, what happened to Google Glass??

regardless of downvotes, I am convinced that all these 'efforts' are solely aimed to stay relevant, Tech is changing at a pace that no one could have predicted. Even Apple is paranoid. Who had thought iphone 6+++?? I don't mean it's uncool. But just see how things are happening fast and quick. It's hard to catch up.

Google has more failures in recent years than any other company, because either they were too late to the party or too early. i.e Google Plus / Google Glass etc etc.

iPhone was not 'too early' it was just in time. that's why it was a major hit. Give me something that I would start using today(). If it's practical and useful it is gonna be hit. Else beyond the headlines it would only be biting the dust in the labs.... a privilege that until now, solely belonged to Microsoft

probably being a 34 years old ceo sucks. :) that looks at things a lot differently. and have to deal with things which people call it 'shit happens'. I am only rejoicing when it does not. and it's very rare.

copyright act is entirely and solely built around 'consumer confusion'. anyway ;) there is apple bank https://www.applebank.com/ with apple in their logo too ;) but a slight resemblance in design language resulted in 1 billion fine to samsung. reason., former does not cause consumer confusion and the later did or tried to steal the thunder immorally.

and i did mention, project is cool. it's bookmarked in the same folder where i have hackernews ;)

but generally i tend not to like anything that tries to steal the thunder immorally... in this case, if the OP tries to monetize this app with the same domain name, it would be immoral and would delete it from my bookmarks.

you don't build a product around a product with 90% same name, it took me 5 min to figure your blog is not of ycombinator, at first seriously, i rejoiced as a designer, that 'finally' design is showing signs of improvments. but only to find, it was of a side-project built around ycombinators's news section. bad choice of name. project is cool.

I know it does not matter to ycombinator, because they are cool guys. but know the 'consumer confusion' thing?

couple of years back, adwords suspended my account.

the only response i wrote back was, I have no intentions either, of paying my money to a company that has little to no respect to its customers.

I got back instant response and got my account reinstated, but, still I didn't agree, I asked him, I need written apology from the head manager, the support person apologized for this, and said the head manager is traveling overseas. So I accepted.

I never asked the reason why they did it in the first place. I was just furious, you don't say fuck off to your customers, without first talking to them.

He did it.

Let me put my thoughts first.

1. Initiate massive industrialization in the 3rd World.

2. Create as many jobs as I could.

Expected Results.

1. Massive job creation would lead to improved economy for the 3rd World, filling the gap between 3rd and the 1st World.

2. People would become busier, Literacy rate would go up, Crime and Terrorism factors will be significantly reduced.

Overall, the world would become even better and more civilized place.

No rocket science here.
