YC has proven that it is capable of returning results that beat the market. Few other incubators are able to replicate the success of YC. As an incubator, it is an outlier. Is an o…

Full discloser: I'm a founder at Cloudtenna. AeroFS is a great option for file-syncing. Compare public file sync (Dropbox), private file sync (AeroFS), and traditional network file…

I love that Twitter announced it via a tweet. Good work dogfooding their own product :)

I consider "sync" to only be a feature of Dropbox. Its the absolute best way to get files into their cloud storage platform (as compared to something like uploading files manually …

Congrats AeroFS team!

Fantastic approach. Great post. My takeaways: (1) Look for unconventional ways to create a MVP (2) Hustle is a very valuable asset to a startup. For startups with high hustle-to-te…

I like this proposal very much. On the other hand, it reminds me of a quote by Sam Goldwyn... "A spoken contract isn't worth the paper it's written on."

Big! Search will fit seamlessly in the Facebook experience. I bet we soon forget that Facebook didn't always have this function.

I think this a big deal. The first step to a Yelp killer? Type in "Italian Restaurant" and get back list of all the restaurants your friends have checked into. A recommendation eng…

Congrats to the meetings.io team. I'm a big fan of the product.

Bold action often results in great things. Apple has always strived to couple great hardware design with great software. Excited to see them bring the two departments closer again.…

Judge rules Samsung owes Apple roughly one 'Instagram' in damages.

I love this post. There is no doubt in my mind that the file system (as we know it) is dead. Daily workflows are becoming more and more integrated with the social graph. Its one th…

The secret sauce is in the case. Touch + a trackpad is necessary to use both metro and the traditional desktop UI. Could be a good compromise so I can keep using legacy desktop app…

I think the case is what is most interesting. Keyboard + trackpad. Good bet by Microsoft. They are trying to shift the tablet market away from "a bigger smartphone" and back into t…

The next big stage of cloud storage is integration. Integration into 3rd party apps. Integration deep into devices (iCloud for iOS and Google Drive for Android). This was a "must" …

Could try SMEstorage. I think they have an "aggregation" concept like this. I think this article misses the point of the these new cloud solutions though. I'm not a fan of aggregat…
