debugging

The problem with such an expensive device is the fear of dropping it, for me at least I don't think I would be comfortable using it on a daily basis. It must be a great device though, too bad the local electronic stores don't have them on display.

$700+, that's a little steep folks for replacing paper :)

Great thanks. What deters me is R&D, if someone wants to make a Saas web application, say something like basecamp, to me there isn't really much research required other than what is already publicly available in books/tutorials.

How can someone receive a grant for something like that? (Or do you have to fudge the truth?)

True, but I believe the point is having an atmosphere (investors, universities, creative thinkers, etc.) that helps build a company.

The problem I face in Canada (Toronto) is that I prefer to stay as a contractor. I looked into a few startups myself, and the pay wasn't that interesting (that and the fact I'd have to commute 2 hours per day).

I agree, contract work is where you can make more money.

"HR departments here lag the USA and can't accept what techs are worth." You are referring to full-time work right?

@pcc are there any limitations on how many employees you have? Can single founders apply?

Agreed. You have all these great ideas on how to do things better, but along the way you inevitably forget all the work it took just to ship version 1 (let alone v2 with all this improvements both feature and design wise).

I can't imagine this was because Textmate isn't selling well enough. I could be wrong but I always looked at Textmate as an example of an app that must be making a killing.

Your web design looks VERY similar to: http://www.olark.com/

One thing to always keep in mind when starting a site on a particular topic, don't go too narrow on the domain name.

Choosing a name like ____forums where ____ is some brand (or nickname to avoid trade mark issues) becomes stale once that brand/model is out of style. Having a narrow name yet broad enough to last through the years is always a better approach (unless of course you don't intend the site to last pass the shelf-life of the brand/model).
