Something fast, light in weight, and screen doesn't matter as long as it is not 10 inches.

I'll be willing to purchase it locally (Walmart, Target, etc).

You have to realize these are free codes, not the premium codes.

You might be entering the codes in the premium box, instead of the register your account invitation box.

Thanks for adding to the list!
Well from where I see it, I believe it's because a lot of .com, .net, .org domains are taken.

For example, if your startups name was Twitterly, you would choose Twitterly.com, but obviously it would be taken, so they chose to use Twitter.ly

That's what I believe.

Yes, I would love to be one of your students, if you would teach online. Brooklyn is a good choice, but if you teach online, you'll reach a larger audience.

Ask HN: Where did you learn Web Development?

How did you guys practice programming? (Create...

What would I put in the Market Size slide then? Would it be what I listed above?

Ask HN: What is my market size?

I'm trying to put together a Pitch Deck, but stumbled upon one of the slides.What would my market cap be?We're a platform where we connect people who don't have enough time to complete their daily errands, and people who want to make a quick buck and complete tasks in their area.From where I see it, anyone who has a full-time job, and doesn't have time to run errands fits in our market...

I definitely agree with nhangen. Also, I would add the process of payment. I believe Amazon Payments isn't the best way to earn payments. PayPal would work better for most people, since a lot of people use PayPal, and this would attract more people to Create their own projects.

But the most crucial thing is the approval process, they are hand approved and take days or a week to get them approved or denied, it's very slow, and very demanding since Kickstarter is getting more users attracted.

Hey email me: [email protected] I'm 16 years old, and own a start-up, would like to give you more info about it!
I 'sort of' agree with you, too many start-ups have been reaching this mark, but some deserve to, such as Groupon.

I'm not so sure about AirBNB, or Coupons.com
