What stage the company is in? If it's too early stage, I don't think anyone can predict the success and it might end up as just another failed startup. Remember, the startup is more about execution. I would suggest to contact a lawyer to get any credible advise on it.

Fascinating read, any innovator would relate to it. It's always in the hindsight that we can pin point the errors they made, but there's a lesson for all of us in here.

India also have a large desert area in the state of Rajasthan and most of the the solar projects have been installed in that area only.

The article talks about total capacity of plants being 580MW. If that would make Morocco a solar superpower, I am sure India and many other countries already have solar capacity more than that.

That animation with population count seems fake, no Indian or Chinese born in last 5 minutes I have been looking at it!

Many comments here on HN seem to feel that this is an issue with Education system or schools. But I as a non American feel is that a common American is too afraid of anything non American or anything strange. The main objective of terrorist organizations is to instill fear in the minds of people and I think they have succeeded in it to a greater extent.

You are not serious, right?

Btw, debris of MH370 was recently located https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia_Airlines_Flight_370

Not everything has to be done following the rules, sometimes the best things come out when you don't care about the rules.

Minor nit pick, 'losing' not 'loosing'.

Please don't do it, however great technical feat it is, the truth is, it sucks. I hate those the most in facebook.

An article without much substance, just couple of figures and speculations but no deeper study.

Does this mean that you no longer have to to be in US/UK/Canada for starting a campaign on Kickstarter?

I own Chromecast and it does require the USB cable for the device to turn on and work

Transactional SMS doesn't come under DND, so there's no restriction on that.

Article is from 2012, can someone please edit the title to mention that?

Sam, can you please add a <title/> tag to this page? That would really make it easy to find the tab.

Can anyone with knowledge about the topic shed some light on it and tell if it's really a big breakthrough or just like another PR post by labs to attract and justify more funding?

Good to see finally Noble Peace prize is awarded to people worthy of it, not to the people worthy for the organization.

Not compatible with Moto G (Android KitKat), this is the first app I have came across which is not compatible with this device.

Edit - "Xim will initially be available in US and Canada only; we plan to add additional country support shortly" Ah!

Yes, indeed it's broadcasting live on our National TV here in India

Webcast of the event can be seen here http://webcast.isro.gov.in/

*edit - Tired of these armchair analysts dismissing anything new coming outright. Not a kind of mentality I would expect from someone interested in startups.

Ok, But no one asked if it will work or not. And your comment doesn't have any extraordinary analysis or information that someone with even a small understanding of the topic wouldn't know.

Surprised to see a YC company doing an android app before the iOS app! Are we seeing a shift?

Link to the website is here[0]. This certainly looks like an awesome event to attend.

I think the point they want to make is that no matter how dangerous it is to operate your mobile phone while driving, a lot of people do it. So, I think replacing that with a HUD like this might just be safer than using your mobile while driving.
