Interesting... the application has a Windows Vista/7 scrollbar.

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
No, it does not.
Well their screenshot/mock-up does, take a look again.
It's not a screenshot or a mockup. It's your browser rendering a scrollbar. The "mockup" is actually usable. If you actually see how it works, you'll see you can use the actual "mockup" to see how it would work.
It's better then a mere screenshot or mockup.

It's not a picture of an iPhone running the app, it's a screenshot of the website, which has a scrollable area embedded in a picture of an iPhone. Very confusing screenshot!

#27The latest YC companies seem to be features and add-ons for other products : things that can easily be bought by a big company!
The latest YC companies, like all YC companies, are encouraged to launch as soon as they've built something with a quantum of utility. Of course such things are small initially.

#28Noticed a bug when creating a new account - I use password safe to manage my passwords, and it created a password that contained a symbol that caused an "Invalid Password" message to show up. Some feedback here would be nice ("Invalid Password: Numbers/letters only please" or something like that). Better yet, accept anything in the password box (there may be i18n issues here, others may be able to chime in with their experience).

#29I find it a bit confusing when pg invests in companies such as this, which will most likely increase the addictiveness of stuff (in this case TV), given his growing concerns of the issue[1]. I can see this makes investment sense in terms of the ROI on money, but wouldn't you rather invest in things which steer the world in a direction that you would like it to go in?

I didn't read that essay the same way. I'd say he was making an observation rather than expressing a general concern. He also said "Good" and "bad" technological progress aren't sharply differentiated, so you'd find you couldn't slow the latter without also slowing the former"
Of course he is expressing concern. Did you not read the second half of the essay? He's mostly talking about how people, including himself, have avoided, are avoiding or will avoid addictions.

#30Because it's so difficult to stand up and manipulate a television, or use the gasp remote control that came with it. I'm quite surprised YC would invest in a .. television company.
