    Excited to see this. I hope it leads to a trend to listing sooner and giving access to retail investors much earlier. Buying Uber at a few dollars instead of $42 for example. The m…

    Wait so all those people in the street with the protest signs were cheering FOR Amazon? Nope. Maybe the guy with veto power was put in place because he protects the city from BS li…

    Austin's traffic is bad for sure. Dallas then perhaps, which at least has a rail going north (also bad traffic). That said, Queens absolutely values diversity. They mom and pop sho…

    Not sure why you're being downvoted. It's absolutely true.

    They want to get a multibillion dollar deal done in a global economic center, and a few phone calls to one guy was enough for them to stop pursuing it? Pretty weak if that's the ca…

    New York didn't lose anything by not having Amazon here. New York is a city built on diversity, and ensuring resources are available to maintain that diversity is important to the …

    It's just a digital pet rock, which made the inventor a millionaire.

    It seems like the bigger problem may be denial. I don't think depression is unique to entrepreneurs. Just living in NYC brings an exceptional set of challenges for someone to overc…

    Made at Hackday.tv in NYC this past weekend? Great job guys! Some very interesting hacks came out of this event.

    True, but I'm not sure removing form fields and renaming filtering data constitutes innovation.

    Totally agreed. I also lost a little respect for Hipmunk when I found out they are basically an exact copy of ITA's app: http://matrix.itasoftware.com/search.htm .

    Ugh, another button. The check-in buttons are coming next. Soon, there will be an aggregate button that lets you Like, Follow, +1, Check-in, Tweet, Post to FB, and save the page fo…

    F1 cars also cost a couple million dollars while a Nascar costs around 150k total. Another difference is that F1 cars are electronically limited to 18k RPM (they can easily go to 2…

    Maybe try using an RSS reader and over time build up the exact things you want to read. Eventually, you'll have a perfect feed of things that interest you (well, maybe not perfect,…

    I'm surprised New York isn't in the launch cities. The sheer density of people, businesses, and overpriced things requiring deals makes it a no brainer. Two cities in TX? I'd under…

    FIOS is probably the best bet although it doesn't come to our building. You can still get 20-50Mbps residential if you pay enough. It's quite easy to live cheaply here, as long as …

    I fully agree. The startup community is exploding here. We have serious companies coming out of the city, a seriously diverse culture (Tech, Business, Fashion, Art, Music), leaders…

    This is kind of bittersweet. While it's true entrepreneurial spirit that they pooled their resources and came together on something new, they could have done the same and helped NY…

    I just tried using this app and it crashes every time I try to take a pic on a fully updated iPhone 4, after a fresh restart. I'm not sure what they're doing with that $41 million …

    270 FPS in IE9 (yes 270), 48 FPS in Chrome 10, 23 FPS in FF 3.6 I just installed IE9 and am kinda feeling it. Even though it completely stole Chrome's interface, it works.
