For this project you have 1217 backers at the $42 level who get a digital download, a usb drive boxed up and signed by the whole team, and a t shirt. Obviously for such little money and so much in return, this is going to be incredibly popular. So now you have to sit your entire team down to sign their name 1200 times, purchase 1200 USBs and produce 1200 tshirts. That's too much time and money wasted. And yet money is exactly what you're asking for.

Those books are so refreshing and brilliant that I still reread them to this day.

On a consistency note: the examples in your copy should match those in your example image. You have 30 min for exercise and 1 hour for emails in the image but they're the opposite in your copy.

The app looks good though and quite useful. Might I also suggest, instead of listing all the features to have them displayed around the image with arrows pointing to what they're referring to. Context can make all the difference, especially with a long page.

Instead, I think a price closer to renting a movie on demand would work better with a bargain price for each view after that. Perhaps $2.99 or $3.99 for the first view and $.99 for each view after that. And then maybe when the viewer gets up to a certain view count, each view after that is free. This way, you can gain a profit with less viewers while also instilling loyalty in repeat viewers who are most likely to spread the word.

Pity for people who make a good living doing what they love? I don't know who the author thinks he is speaking for, but I highly doubt it's "many" people in the startup community. Replace pity with admiration and then you have an accurate statement.

Anyway, if I think of a better response/solution than "it is what it is", I will be sure to let you know. Good luck in the mean time.

So there you go: the target audience has grown by one.

This is assuming Facebook will be around in 20 years.

On the other hand, every humanities class I've taken, I've gotten the exact grade I have earned.

- being pushed through a system that treats you like a number (In two years, I never met my advisor or received any guidance from faculty)

- having your entire college career already planned out with no wiggle room or a chance to explore other interests (until the very last semester where there was one free elective)

- professors who spoke English poorly

- classes that were taught straight from books with no added knowledge or insight

And the list goes on and on. For all those who managed to make it through, more power to you. But it wasn't until I switched majors that I started enjoying the academic aspect of college.

While I get what you are saying and am by no means arguing in favor of Fox Con, I believe you are turning my shades of gray argument back to black and white. There isn't a strict dividing line between the acceptable and unacceptable; it's a gradient. There is worse than Fox Con and there is worse than what is worse than Fox Con (and so on, ad nauseam).

My point is that it is foolish to use Fox Con as the poster child of this issue when there are far worse situations. It does a great disservice to the argument. Most people will stop at Fox Con in their exploration of the situation and say to themselves "That's horrible. We should do something about that," instead of "It's horrible that Fox Con is a better option for most people and that there is worse out there. We should dig deeper and fix the problem from the ground up until Fox Con is the worst of the worst and then we can fix that."

Thinking and talking about the situation in terms of our lives sensationalizes more than it informs.

I felt really confident about what I was wearing until someone told me I looked like I didn't belong there. Now I'm left wondering if this suit stigma applies to females.

For instance, what if the color coding was expanded upon and added to the invite application? Each individual could place themselves in the category that describes them the best and then know at the time of the event the people they should be talking to rather than wandering around hoping their next chance meeting is the one that makes the difference.

Obviously this wasn't something that could be anticipated. But there definitely needs to be a solid system (I like the idea of designated areas) for next time so everyone can use their time as efficiently as possible and talk to the people they need to talk to.
