I don't know if this is true for content producers... Why would you care about the file itself if you can create and manipulate the content easily?

That is absolutely untrue. It's pretty clear that Buzz was inspired by Brightkite. I'm not going to pass judgement on the similarity, but the inspiration is clear.

Depends on the instigator, of course.

Oh come on, he's a teenager, and it's pretty obvious he's the intern in question. You didn't have to submit this as a story. Also, if you think this is an isolated incident in this…

Interesting, anecdote, but user tests show that you are in the minority. About 80% of people immediately scroll down when they reach a new page with sparse content at the top of th…

You can use an Apple keyboard to play JamLegend. It's awesome and works great: http://www.coolest-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/jamlegend2...

Pain? When you poke a Euglena[1] with a pin while looking at it under a microscope, its sensors detect an intrusion and immediately start flapping the flagella (the thing it uses f…

It's not a scientific judgement? How can you say it's OK to kill plants but not "animals," considering they are made of essentially the same thing? Where is the line? It's fairly e…

I love YC, but this is false. TechStars, actually, has a better track record of exits when compared to YC. YC has some bigger companies that are still growing, but the TechStars sc…

More valuable than all that is the fact that Yelp is the de-facto real-world review site. Its brand is powerful, about as powerful as YouTube's was when Google bought them.

Yes. Have you used reMail? The product is awesome and it sells itself. I highly doubt YC was even part of the consideration. Honestly, I feel like having YC backing you might actua…

I think he is arguing that healthcare is just a commodity.

This is definitely anti government-run healthcare.

Are you suggesting that this is a ruse to lower the price of Overstock's shares? On a Saturday? By using an obscure blog?

Wow, Japan has more US debt than I thought. Anyone know how that happened? US companies don't tend to build stuff in Japan, do they?

Actually -- and this is new in 2009 -- gift cards cannot expire by law in California.
