    Ya, agreed. The second one was nowhere near as good as the first. Also have been wondering when new courses will come out. I finished the first two in two days (one each day) and w…

    Just curious if Dropbox had a MVP? If so, what was it? Was it ready and launched by Demo Day? Was it a purely free model, or were they already going with the freemium model at laun…

    Just read through the whole interview. Wow. Had no idea he did all that. That is just amazing.

    Make one or two of them co-founders. Until you see traction, you have no choice but to keep the team extremely small and bootstrap like crazy.

    What I do is give my brother my password for Steam and not keep a copy for myself. When I am busy, I just log out of Steam and I can't play any games until I ask my brother for the…

    Cut your costs down to just rent plus servers. Keep only the technical people plus yourself. Have everyone work for free in exchange for equity until you see traction. The ones tha…

    Ya, I read about that and I really, really, really respect him for that. kaffeinecoma - Google "The Woz Plan" for more.

    Thanks for the clarification. So it has to be some sort of verbally transmitted code (ie. a phrase) since it's used over the radio? That pretty much takes out almost all the guesse…

    Someone posted on the original article that "You cannot recall smells..." That is one possibility. Pandarus could give Manelaus a bottle of a very specific perfume that Pandarus wa…

    Comment #3111818

    Ya, I'm wondering that myself. Or it could mean that Pandarus gave Menaleus a way for Menaleus to identify himself (Menaleus) to others. If so, then it could be something unique to…

    If I were Google, I would have done it. Offered $2B and taken the 2-year deal with Hulu. Match it up with YouTube, grow it as big as possible, and completely dominate online video …

    I usually ask to meet up in a very central place for coffee. And to save on time, I usually group a bunch of meetings back to back at the exact same spot.

    The article itself could be the basis for a movie.

    Not sure if you all have seen this. One of the co-founders of YC, Jessica Livingston, wrote a great blog post on this exact subject: www.foundersatwork.com/1/post/2011/01/what-stop…

    Oh, I agree. I'm the same way (I'm 37). It's just that differences in biology force women to consider the issue earlier than men. I'm guessing that societal pressure also plays a p…
