johnqfake··on Ask HN: Why is the save icon still represented by a floppy disk?
I don't know of anything better that I can think of. I also don't necessarily think a replacement is needed. Long after floppies are consigned to myth & legend, the icon can live on. I see road signs featuring steam trains but I've never seen a steam train, I see rotary phone images and I have only hazy memories of using one in the 80's. The purpose becomes its meaning and its origins are pretty irrelevant.
johnqfake··on Ask HN: Any other hackers looking to start a startup with me? (or others?)
I'm looking for someone to help with the business-y side of things. Posted recently but it was badly timed/uninteresting/drivel and nothing came of it (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3188364).

I've got the technical side covered but interested in anyone who can help me get started/further.

UK but amenable to travel.
