PHP frameworks such as Codeigniter are dead simple to use. They do not have the deployment, scaling, and performance headaches that Ruby On Rails has.

I don't get why people worship ROR, maybe because it is the original MVC framework.

Why hate on PHP when the popular and most successful website runs on it (facebook, yahoo, flickr, wikipedia, digg)?

The only mainstream ROR sites is Twitter which is still buggy even though it is 50x simpler than Facebook. I wouldn't put Basecamp into that category yet.

Feels like the customer are getting pushed to buy too quickly.

Something like this is less pushy http://macromates.com/.

Isn't this basic job of the manager? Why do academics and industry label common sense with lame terms?

"Instead of scouring my friends' friends' photos for other possible friends, I could have been raising money for Darfur relief"

One way for facebook to be a bit useful is to gain 1000s of "friends" and create a group or app to raise awareness or money for your cause.

I only have a handful of real friend so I don't feel ashamed of marketing to fb friends especially if it is for a good cause.

I'm glad you are satisfied with your plain $20 t-shirt http://store.americanapparel.net/men-short-sleeves---t-shirt... based on it's fit and comfort.

In my subjective view, it just makes me sick to see American Apparel in other countries and people go in and see that "Americans" are about looking like 1970s high schoolers. Like it our not this brand does represent us.

Checkout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zara_%28clothing%29 They are a Spanish company that do not outsource their manufacturing. They are able to keep their costs down and deliver the most trendy clothes to their customers. AA on the other hand made clothes that look like 1970s gym clothes.

"I don't want to pay for the privilege of wearing a billboard."

Your are paying $20 for a plain grey t-shirt. You don't think you are paying for the AA billboards that are everywhere??

Having "American" in this brand will make countries laugh at how unsophisticated we are.

You are going to make something in America at least make something good like New Balance. We don't care to known for making neon green tights.

Starting work before the official incorporation can be a good thing if you can show that you are a damn good developer. Having a mba degree and being knowledgeable in "entrepreneurship" and "technology" doesn't mean shit in this arena.

I learn to develope in ASP.NET in college and found that finding support online is quite difficult (damn gridview).

With the maturity of Django, RoR, and PhP frameworks is it worth it to find a bizspark partner and pay microsoft tax until the your business dies?

This is a false story.

Yahoo's strength is in its content not search. Paying 20B (which is more than the market value of yahoo) for search market share just doesn't make sense.

Sounds like a major fail to me.
