This peripheral is a good example of innovation that was way ahead of the market. There probably was a market opportunity when the Beadazzler was the nation's favorite "As-seen-on-…

This is great! While I'm a Fil-Am living in the US, I'm happy that technology and disruption are thriving in the Philippines. I'm also glad that many companies are helping out by s…

Congrats to the UA team. UA took a simple idea of push notifications and made it extremely easy for developers to use. Kudos!

If I recall correctly, the Galileo probe (around 1989) had the same problems from anti-nuke folks that feared a radiation fall-out if the shuttle exploded while bringing the satell…

YC should never be the end of your dream. They're not always right (and they admit it). Keep on trucking along!

If you're hungry enough, being rejected may be the best thing that will ever happen to you. Don't let a YC Reject letter stop you from continuing your dream.

Did you mean billionth?

There will be a bunch of folks at FailCon in SF today. I encourage everybody to get a test.

Love it too!
