Yes. Money can at least set you free financially.

That's what marketing is all about, creating the image and perception. It only shows that they've learned very well from us.

It's a form of populace control by the government; otherwise how would they rule over you?

That was a dick move. 5 days are not enough to go through debugging, coding, reviewing, testing, and deployment of a complicate software like Windows. 2 weeks to 4 weeks are more reasonable.

Lenovo/Thinkpad are usually more expensive than the others. However, I bought the cheap version of Lenovo ($350 after rebates) last xmas as a replacement laptop. It's one of the best laptops I got over the year. The specs can't be beaten, and screen and build quality are superb.

Why do they have offices in UK and Singapore? Also the Enterprise division sounds like a poor strategic fit.

I used TomCat in a 256M VPS with no problem with loads. Threading definitely helps in sharing the same memory space.

We should abolish patents.

I won't work for Google via recruitment neither. The only case if Google buys my company.

California government did one thing right that few other states can match to encourage innovation - California Labor Code Section 2870. This single law negates many of the bullshit employment contracts required by companies to confiscate new idea and innovation from employees working at their home and at their own time. This actually helps to spawn off new startups. I will never move to and work in another state that doesn't have similar law.

How I started my company is kind of funny. While talking to my friend, I had this idea I thought was great. I tried to sell it to him and asked him to develop it, but his heart was in doing another project, his own idea. I told him, it's not hard at all; let me show you. He was still not interested. I proceeded to do a design and built a prototype. One thing led to another, it became my product and my company.

I'm a single founder, done all the work in product development, marketing, and sales. It's not bad at all.
