and coming from startup mecca of baltimore.. oh wait.

When? How about when he went to Stanford.

would be cool if it had github support

Is iCloud going to be a threat for dropbox?

This is why google needs to start driving our cars for us already.

Yet it's more like spotify as its exclusive to UK initially

and to answer my own question: http://helloenjoy.com/ looks like dev team behind it.

Do some other cool work in webgl: http://helloracer.com/webgl/ http://helloenjoy.com/helloflower/

anyone know the developer(s) behind this?

Excellent investment. Love ddg

Having launched a company with no voice conversations with developers, everything strictly over skype chat, can empathize. Voice conversations can be time consuming and not properly indexed for future use like email and chat typically is.

That being said, it's a tough challenge to want to change other people. Some strategy I typically go with:

If I feel that the person can digest it and you am in drivers seat (ie. lawyers, vendors) I typically say: "if you think it's necessary we can jump on a phone call but don't want to waste time here, and am looking for your thoughts on x,y,z"

If it's someone that I am wanting something from and they are a high profile individual will go with:

"I know you are extremely busy and last thing I want to do is take to much of it, what I was simply hoping for was a,b,c..."

Some people though, will never be able to break out of voice conversations and if you really want to work with them you will need to sacrifice.

And in some situations voice will bring you additional results you never thought of and will be happy you did so.

Only if he mentioned duckduckgo!

What does being a white male have to do with anything?

dvdflix would have been a more appropriate name

DVDflix!

Biggest downfall here will potentially be the separation of ratings. Dvd and streaming customers will have to rate dvd first and then see it as unwatched in streaming later?

I think of Netflix as my repository for "what I have watched" and teller of "what you will want to watch". I don't tie the brand to a specific delivery mechanism (dvd or streaming).

Do you still have yellow and purple cubicles?

Summarizing his points: - Start with two founders - You need a business model - freemium has serious advantages - Use your own product - Measure everything - Test everything - Always be closing marketing - First idea will fail - Think long-term - Know when to switch gears - Build something you want to work

Epic quote - "I’ve never even been to Silicon Valley. I think of Silicon Valley as people in far flung areas of the Roman Empire must have thought of Rome. Surely it’s a mythical land of people who hack apps together in a weekend and sell them for $20 million on Monday."

Wait till we start plugging our cars into the grid.

Nice way to game Facebook into being a customer?

Am more surprised your wife cares about technical terms. My wife would never be this interested along the lines of "don't bring work home".

I would pay decent money to see the movie remake, kickstarter anyone?
