I would be more curious to know the number of successful bootstrapped businesses vs. VC-funded ones...

I think this increases the possibility of something like Square being built into the next iDevice with Apple buying Square first. If Square doesn't sell, then expect Jobs to build his own.

To me , the classless one is the Tumblr guy getting incensed with a barely-related-possibly-in-the-near-future-if-they-dont-pivot startup that was getting funded.

We love their image editor widget but need something faster (it understandably lags when sending images to their server). Aviary has promised to offer the source code 'soon' but the problem is they said that last December.

Here is to hoping 'soon' has whittled down to a few weeks now. :)

Honestly curious, are existing PHP frameworks hopelessly complex and rigid to have this problem?

I wanna know what is the one thing it is aiming for? simplicity? speed (ala Yii PHP framework)? or modularity? Its not clear on any of the page...

It really feels like the world finally caught up to Steve Jobs rather than the other way around. Its a wonder how early he has been using the word 'magical' and obsessed with creating the best version of anything out there even with a hacky product like a blue box.

Color is not the sonic scanning mobile device in Dark Knight, it was the multi-lens visual scanner Lucius Fox threatened to quit over and self-destructed when they found Joker.

Bruce Wayne is Nguyen and we are Lucius Fox, but in this case there is no Joker to catch.

Indextank should be all over this...

Can we have a built-in search engine first?

Perhaps it was just that it was not the right time (or place)

Would YC ever go the Techstars route and make it a city by city 'franchise'?

I like the name, and the concept 'hook'. Here is to hoping that Google nails the UX and if its really really good. utilize google.com / gmail / android tastefully to get to critical mass.

I am not sure if i want Google to be successful in social though, too much power in a single company...

My point is it would encourage more people to apply by trying to hack into the company's networks instead of just creating impressive mods, Valve is a game dev/platform company after all not a network security one.

Considering how good Valve is making fanbases, the number of hackpplicants would then be untenable.

Now if someone would only leak Episode 3/Half-Life 3...

maybe UberMedia really has plans to jumpstart a Twitter-like service off of the Twitter clients soon and somehow Twitter got wind of this and moved to cripple the trojan horses it bought / is buying.

Reworded the description to draw that out (i hope).

Spoondate is awesomely named.

I think the best way to do this is observe, document and study as much of their culture as we can without contact, After that contact them to with the goal of medical help and protection. And proceed carefully from there.

This is too good to not think that it has drawbacks or serious concessions required. But the fact that its applicable to existing internal combustion engine makes it more feasible than electric powered vehicles.

There's a Twilio idea here somewhere...

I have a feeling that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Sean Parker has a lot to gain by dismissing his portrayal as fiction. While Eduardo Saverin has lots of reason to demonize him, I would think it has some grain of truth to it. After all, if Parker is such a swell guy, why is he kicked out of every company he founded?

For the movie, I think Sorkin just created one dimensional people from character nuggets to serve the story he was trying to weave.

I'd say the one pushing the envelope while achieving some mass market success... but that's just me, cuz i happen to want more ambitious films.

The Social network was good and all but Inception was a masterful, intelligent film that was original to boot. Far better IMHO.

Agreeing 100%. 'Communicate' can be unpacked into 1. asking a lot 2. systematically eliminating fuzziness 3. use visual tools (drawing, screenshot, references)

thanks!

Posterous must be planning some marketing stunt around this. :D

Im sure it will be. the most important ingredient there is the developer/publisher commitment (its strong)

Funny how in last week's episode of This Week in Startups. The founder of Unsubscribe.com and Phonetag.com said to Jason that suing anybody is a big waste of time for everybody involved.
