Well they missed one heck of a chance to collect email addresses, even if they weren't ready to roll out the product.

#16> We don't have a PR firm. I do think YC paid for an ad once in 2006 in the Stanford college newspaper, but we don't really do marketing. The thing we rely on most of all is founders we fund telling other people about our program. Really? That answer seems somewhat misleading, I don't know if intentionally. YC's biggest place to advertise is HN. In fact, look below right now -- 'Apply to YC'. In addition to reminders…
Putting a link to your product on your own non-commercial website isn't paid advertising though, and it's certainly not proof-positive of a PR firm.
HN is a commercial website. In addition to the links promoting YC, they also post job listings for YC related companies.

Molecular Biology of the Cell (Alberts) is free through NCBI!
Many investigators jokingly refer to it as 'the bible'.

Ooh, much appreciated! Especially since a new hardcover is ~$150. Edited to note this.
