    Are there any good guides anywhere you'd recommend for hardware startups - and how to reduce this $30K upfront cost? That is a lot of money.

    You could rent clothes for a day... Wake up. Clothes have been delivered overnight. Put them on, wear for the day. At the end of the day, put them in a box outside wherever you're …

    Yeah, I agree - it looks good, but it is Facebook :) The auto-following is a pretty neat feature though! I might try and pick one up to play around with when they're back in stock.…

    I've been struggling to find time, but when I do I've been trying to get a good family-room video chat setup going. Ideally, Apple would just release a FaceTime-compatible camera I…
