Language arguments aside, it's hard not to look at the three.js 3D examples and not be impressed by how far browser 3D rendering has come: http://mrdoob.github.com/three.js/

I connected my account and it said the party was full and they weren't letting more people in. I'm not sure what the point of that was.

We're hiring Web Developers with Javascript and MVC chops. We'd love it if you knew Python, Ruby or even C though. We're all generalists that typically attack full stack products.

Why is Senator Franken still using snail mail? He could've just emailed Carrier IQ from his phone. He wouldn't even have to hit send.

It's not a bad idea, but there are two major drawbacks: 1) it's not that profitable. Companies that have tried some variant of this include tunecore and rcrdlbl but both dropped the bits that weren't profitable. 2) imagine startups are like bands; the founders will always do a better job making noise than a hired PR agency. Labels introduce politics and want to see success line their pockets, not the artist's. They will always recommend charging for music, rather than giving it away to reach a larger audience.

I thought about this recently, but because I need to send mail to a few government offices, and to my university for my transcripts. Both have to be done in paper, but I'd love to upload a PDF, add an address and be done with it. I'd try to market this to legal offices as a time saver.

Get a bunch of credit cards, preferrably ones with no/low balance transfer fees. Unless they bite and buy your product, you have no idea how long you're going to be without income and getting more credit while building your startup is hard.

There's another great way to test your mobile app before release: Android.

Agreed! I like to use "build for emotion" as the barometer of a good idea. If you can actually see someone become excited to discover your app, and the delight of the first 15 minutes of using it, you're on the road to a good product.
