antonioevans··on Microsoft and Skype to axe world's most popular IM client early 2013
I think you need to update your skype.
antonioevans··on Outside Zynga HQ
A "fuck you car" should have "fuck you money" to back it up.
antonioevans··on Google’s most advanced voice search has arrived on iOS
Sorry Siri... You've got a new big brother in my opinion.
antonioevans··on Meet the Company Hijacking New York Times Ad Revenue
Is this new? Advice : Read all user reviews when downloading addons / plugins or any software.
antonioevans··on U.S. Entrepreneur aims to rebrand chess
I would also compare this to Poker. FYI not a poker player. when I watch it on TV they do bring the highlights but the key pieces I think are the announcers. They bring you into the game. Constructing the drama. Yes there is alot of drama in chess!
antonioevans··on GPS equipped shoes that will lead you home with LED signals
I see a large college kid market for this. After the bars.
antonioevans··on PayPal CEO writes personal response
I hope this is a view of the transparency we'll be seeing in the future from all levels of the org.
antonioevans··on What's a $4000 Suit Worth?
Can you PM the contact. Love a good suit.
antonioevans··on Event Confirmed: Apple can’t count.
They are releasing iPhone 5. The branding is iPhone 5. Not the version number.
antonioevans··on Yakuza
I run a recipe site. Maybe I can get some free traffic. lol. It's karma whoring 101. But as I said, it was a good article!
antonioevans··on I did the scariest thing I can imagine: I resigned
Happy Independence Day!
antonioevans··on Yakuza
I agree it's a fascinating piece but lately HN has been a dumping ground for popular reddit posts. I see it on reddit then 15 minutes someone reposts it here.
antonioevans··on Yakuza
What does this have to do with hacker culture? Another repost from reddit. Great piece though.
antonioevans··on Freemium is alive and kicking
Is this a YC vs Techstar philosophical difference?
antonioevans··on FreshBooks moves from Online Invoicing to Cloud Accounting
Maybe a defense from QB's lawyers?
antonioevans··on Cyborg America: inside the strange new world of basement body hackers
How dangerous are all these "modifications"?
antonioevans··on I Google everything
I tell people all the time.. "Do you remember when you could bullshit anyone." Now they just type your BS into their smart phone.
antonioevans··on Google Fiber Plans & Pricing
How would they get this into SF or NYC? Verizon currently testing a 300mps I am sure they will scale that a bit in next 1-2 years.
antonioevans··on Reddit transforms into real-time news source for Aurora shooting
I believe Reddit is the sleeping (not so sleeping actually) giant of social networking. With it's subreddits it's not like digg. I am not saying it's monetizable currently but it probably the biggest website your mother doesn't know about.
antonioevans··on The untold story of Kevin Rose and Digg
So i didn't realize that betaworks also acquired Wefollow. I am not too sure how many people use it since Klout is now the standard.
antonioevans··on The total price of the Digg acquisition was around $16 million
This number makes much more sense if you are just talking their 7 mil uniques. I think the $500k was perfect "dot-com fail sensationalism".
antonioevans··on Pay Too Much for everything
Why do people say Apple Computers aren't able to be modified? Go on Amazon/Ebay. Find the screwdrivers. It's a computer not Fort Knox.
antonioevans··on Groupon moves headquarters to Berlin (German, English summary)
Friends of mine who are planning on open up a business incubator in Continental Europe rave about the Berlin Tech scene.
antonioevans··on The Philippine startup scene: Asia’s best kept secret?
Mobile is the main web connection for a lot of people in Philippines. Makes sense they will try and tackle that first.
antonioevans··on Mixergy Premium
I evangelize Andrew's stuff to the NYC Startup community all the time. It's like one of those secret clubs in Chinatown which you need the password. I just tell them : Mixergy
antonioevans··on Entrepreneurship the Illness - A day in the life
Outsourcing is not quitting. You're creating a business correct? Does the CEO of every business clean the toliets and wash the windows? In the beginning yes but your hourly value increases as your business grows. Outsourcing is just workers on demand (just like the EC2 instance you may be running your startup on).

As for the co-founder it should be pretty simple since you're a technical founder. When I started FriendsEAT I got courted by 20 "idea/marketing/money" potential co-founders because I was a tech founder. Since you're not in a major city you should run a meetup, go to a local techmeetup, go to hackathon... You'll see them all over.

antonioevans··on Entrepreneurship the Illness - A day in the life
Great piece. you need to outsource or find a co-founder or you'll burn yourself out quickly. Oh and SEO suggestion =>>

commentary.io doesn't 301 to www.commentary.io . I'd use just commentary.io in your marketing copy. the www is kinda the old world.

antonioevans··on Zombie Theme Park in Detroit
Sounds like a legal liability ready to happen. Ambitious, but one step on a rusty nail and lawsuits ensue. Though I like the creativity of solving the inner city blight.

This is for the scientific community. The scientific method is that all results should be scrutinized, tested and verified. If you want a 2-3 minute explanation. Wait for CNN.
