This inc article is painfully light on details and writing. It also doesn't mention what year (2010 or 2011?) for the June cover. All the same, some might like the pictures.

And it wreaks havoc on your browser history.

I assume 2011, given: http://www.inc.com/magazine/20100601/

Also, it seems more like an "audio/video slideshow" than an article.

It might be a pre-publishing announcement for a yet-to-be-released article? I'm really not sure. On the other hand, PG on the cover of inc seemed noteworthy. Congratulations!

Monthly print magazines love to name their issues by the month after the one you'll be reading it in, so usually 1-2 months later than the publishing date. It's supposed to make it seem more newsy or something - I assume this is the intended reader reaction: "A message from the future? For me? What an honour!"

The picture seems to be the one used in http://www.inc.com/magazine/20090601/the-start-up-guru-y-com... .

Welcome to Inc. magazine.

I've been a subscriber* for three years now and most of its articles are light on details, high on dramatics, and low in practical value. I think the magazine serves as more of a comfort to entrepreneurs / wannabe's than a source of learning.

* I think I subscribed for one year at a discount, and have been receiving the magazine gratis for the past two years.

I prefer the Forbes PG cover.

Does anyone know where I can see a larger version of PG's "Famous Whiteboard"?

A quick Google image search turns up this:

The quality isn't great unfortunately. Should be turned into a sculpture or something!

Thanks, I also found a few small ones, but it looked like there was more information on the one in TFA than in the ones I found.

I've been looking for that image, and unfortunately haven't found anything higher-quality than that.

If anyone has a large, high-quality version of that image, I'd really appreciate they give us the link.

I'm just curious - why do you need one that's higher quality?

You know what's exactly on it and I mean it's a white board drawing... you could go out and buy your own white board and some markers and make the exact same diagram yourself!

I'd like to print it out and hang it up.

And of course I can just reproduce it, but it's not the same as hanging up the "original" one.

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a "crappygraphs"-esque version of this yet.

I think I remember that the labels are actually from Trevor.

Here's a nicer one. http://radian.org/notebook/startup-process

Minor quibble: please put [video] in the title.

fixed. I can't actually get to the video, so I didn't notice it.

just an FYI: I recorded this video as a compendium to a June 2009 cover story on YC. That article is here
