pretty fascinating that a seed fund can also make money in very creative ways.

The hardware is so good in this case, I think it's far more useful to install ubuntu or windows 8 on this computer instead.

I'm not surprised that video playback is slow since native access to file is probably not perfected in the website environment that Chrome OS probably uses.

it's hard to maintain culture with remote workers. It's a trade off and not clear completely which pattern is better

This would make the best homepage header or even a epic Google Doodle

I don't know why people always use Paypal when it's had a history of screwing people over.

If the explosion micheal bay effect happened in real time it would be sick

The most common problem I see is technical outsourcing, there are a lot of MBA based teams who cannot convince a great technical person to join.

As a result, outsourcing to get the product done becomes a necessity and also easier than going around to find a good technical cofounder. It is also tempting since outsourcing seems cheaper and promises to get the product built.

The product just ends up not being good enough.

As a technical person in the startup industry, this is the #1 reason why I think startups fails.

I attended this hackathon.

The biggest problem in these hackathons is that it's more about the pitching than the product.

At this particular one, they even told us, worry about the UI and the pitch, don't worry about the backend.

I've been to 5 hackthons total, including 2 Techcrunch disrupts, 2 angelhacks, 1 startup weekends. What I realize is that the winners aren't the best hacks, they are the best pitches, some people only demo their hacks for 2-3 seconds and it's questionable that it even works.

If the business person pitches well, and you have a good designer, you probably win.

Putting an intermediary currency in between purchaser and product is always worse for the consumers.

1. There is the leftover phenomenon where you have currency leftover and you can't spend it anywhere else

2. Or everytime you need to make a purchase, you switch the exact amount out for your purchase which adds additional step of useless process

wow, some of those copies were just blantant. Is there a way to embed a specific string in the website (either through html or css) so later you can somehow google search anyone is copying you?

They should have taken it off to teach HBO a lesson

eps is a format most people without vector can't deal with.

Any change we can get this at 128 * 128 and 32 * 32

I really like kippt too, but I think the public follow, sharing features are overrated while the bookmarking features are what I really find useful

Making money happens when you have created something of value. Creating value is the primary goal, creating money often is the side effect.
