    2 years ago some friends and I started writing one song each per week (and met every Thursday to listen to our respective master-pieces ). We mostly ended up composing and recordin…

    Agreed - we've built extensions for Chrome, Firefox, IE & Safari ; Firefox and IE are on the same level with regards to debugging, that is : not pleasant. It's a shame because brow…

    Not really. YCombinator invests < 25,000$ for < 10% stakes in early-stage startups, some of them already showing traction and revenue. To kill Hollywood, you'd need to invest 1000x…
