It is a good effort, but i doubt it will work. This is the professor who is notorious in the academic/funding circles for faking demos, getting fined and so on.

Hmm good place. Fond memories of CMU and Shadyside Inn. But CMU hasn't succeeded in producing great startups like Stanford ! May be u guys can change that.

Oops, the slot for unshaven and underslept is taken! Gotta shave.

It was a good exercise and now I appreciate much better why Cali Lewis, Amber Mac and Natalie Del Conte - show off their fumbling at the end.

It was done with both hands on the cam. The cam's auto-focus had problem adjusting to the tube light in the basement and created a few blurs.

It wasn't scripted, but i practiced it 4-5 times, everytime missing some links or forgetting a key word!

It is also like bragging and probably to an extent unnatural evolution.

Search engines are supposed to find out the stuff on their own. Excessive SEO shouldn't be performed.

I agree with your thoughts. It is sometimes difficult to digest not getting a fair opportunity, but after all, the world outside the school is not, well, the school. I also have EE background, with .95 PhD, and despite being ahead of the tech horizon, it's especially painful to be rubbished by some haphazard investors.

However, i am sure, if i put my full energy behind it, someday it will certainly fly with or w/o VCs on board. So, the real key is perseverance and commitments. And of course, finding like-minded or like-positioned people helps getting there.

It is always tough to find a co-founder. I am also looking for one, my expertise being in voice and natural language technology. I guess it has to do with establishing the trust and that is best done in physical proximity over a few meetings or like love, it can just happen. I am from India, but willing to partner with really motivated people in US. You can contact me on this id at aol.com

It turns out that Apple's promotion or demotion on/from the iTunes front page can make or break the sales volume of an iPhone app.

The app review at Apple is already under stress and criticism. But contrary to your facebook example, Apple recently started even being more lenient with app acceptance policy.

It seems they really want to scale the platform to the PC level as more apps on App Store means more iPhone sale as well. And the future is also towards the small form-factor, wire-free, intelligent UI based companion device for all one's information, communication and entertainment needs.

There are so many mac-sites already that if one is to surf them all, the entire day would pass. Even then, a mac community builder is welcome, but the name "macmod" is turn-off! Something bearing Mac and Community/Social should be there.

could be "easy dinar (the Gulf currency)" !

I also used to think along this lines. But then i tried to remember when was it last that i had physically entered a domain name in the browser - rarely i do that! Mostly i get it from bookmarks or through web surfing links. So i feel the names are less important than the content at that name.

But personally i like "neat and clean" (i.e. dotless) names vs those force-segmented ones. Also dotless names have the advantage of browsers filling in for the www and .com !

The new Web 2.0-esqe (or dare i say Web 3.0-esqe) nomenclature is dominated by "double-vowels" (Wii, xumii, mobee) or "vowel-combos" (cuil) not often found in normal english. So this approach will not succeed in giving you a really innovative name. Probably you need to perturb the Markov-chain to achieve that or waste a lot of free time digging your cognitive faculty!
