Yahoo was doomed when it stopped focusing on product and technology. The "media" company angle doesn't really work for it or another dinosaur: AOL. The engineers need to take back …

I'll be waiting for my nano-microchip in the near future, thank you very much. Enough of this silicon-based stuff!

I think this also alludes to his talent more than simply his burnout. For him, physics came naturally and he enjoyed. He happened to get a Nobel Prize while doing what he did for f…

Let's hack television by getting rid of television.

Good job. I enjoyed looking at the output from an artistic point of view.

Tim Ferriss' blog post is absolutely ludicrous. He is clearly playing on the dreams of dupes who want fast money with little effort or skill involved in the process. The only reaso…

I always have to think as the proverbial conniving "gangsta" about stuff like this. If you had a way to make $1 billion by getting yourself a secure $3 billion loan that could easi…

Re-implementation means that they would be second or third to market. You have to be first in a new category, and Instagram defined the mobile/social sharing space.

I love the game of "Go" -- it's so strategic and it's particularly difficult when you're playing against a human. The mobile app I have for it is okay, but not great, probably due …

I thought Ron was a total bully. Doesn't he threaten shareholders and makes them bend to his will all the time? I don't know a lot about him, but I heard he's tough to deal with. C…

This is an absolute joke. We need to heed YCombinator and "kill" Hollywood. Make Silicon Valley and S.F. the new entertainment and creative centers of America. Let's merge technolo…

Thanks for the comments, guys. I really appreciate it. Obviously, the clothing would have to look cool. I don't have enough money to create LED clothing, but that's a great idea, t…

I am an artist and want to make a clothing line for hackers. I want to know if any of you would buy it? Do you like the idea? It would kind of look like skater clothing, with t-shi…

> This is completely false; Internet companies are regulated by the DMCA, which provides them safe harbor from private lawsuits related to copyright infringement Look, I don't want…

This is a shakedown by Members of Congress, plain and simple. Internet companies have made billions of dollars in an unregulated market but have not paid off Congressmen/Senators t…

AOL is so irrelevant, I can't believe that they still are in business.

Burnout is very real, happened to me before. You need the vacation time to decompress. The thing is, you can't take vacation time when you're leading a startup.

Most of the people I know started coding before 14 years of age. I think it's difficult for older people to learn simply because older people don't have the time to commit to codin…

Not really digging this system. Seems counter-intuitive.

That's pretty cool. Good move, MailChimp. Any word on the acquisition price?

That is pretty scary.

T-Mobile has horrible service and horrible data plans. I'm sick of them and wish they would get sucked into the black hole that is ATT. Where I still will have horrible service and…

I think this article was pretty good. Sometimes I sit back and wonder-- why the heck am I struggling so hard for stuff? Why not just give in and go with the flow, kick back and let…

I think this is a good idea in theory, but the patent trolls are ruthless as ever. Their primary motivator is making money, and I doubt they'll stop their actions. On the flipside,…

I think the blog post is a good idea, but doesn't necessarily give an in-depth look. Too short.
