mmmmax··on Condé Nast Spins Out Reddit, Without Letting Go
Kudos to Condé Nast for recognizing the importance of Reddit's independence over the years, and handling the acquisition properly.

Aol, Microsoft and even Google could learn something from this...

mmmmax··on How IKEA is structured to minimize tax and maximize control
What's with posting articles from 2006? There are more recent sources with updates, including from FT.com (behind a paywall) and the investigative documentary about this which aired last week in Sweden: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&u=...
mmmmax··on Why I Quit Intuit and Started CompanyLine
How did you protect your IP from being claimed in part by your previous employer? Are you the only one who ever touched the code?

I don't think retina has to mean "double the old display". I think it could just mean "high PPI". Also, Apple has surprised us before with new, previously unheard of tech.

mmmmax··on Ask HN: Web content over the phone?
I would pay for this. You have my vote.
mmmmax··on The $20 Starbucks Test
I wholeheartedly disagree. You can't ask most consumers what they think of an undeveloped business idea. They don't know what they want.

At a minimum you have to put something visual in front of them, even better if its a prototype. Check out Rocket Surgery Made Easy (http://www.sensible.com/rocketsurgery/index.html).

mmmmax··on Develop iOS apps using an iPhone/iPad (with code)
Agreed.
mmmmax··on Develop iOS apps using an iPhone/iPad (with code)
This also reminds me of pg's RFS5: Development on Handhelds

mmmmax··on Develop iOS apps using an iPhone/iPad (with code)
Buy it before Apple destroys it (or buys them)!
mmmmax··on Develop iOS apps using an iPhone/iPad (with code)
The reason I'm so excited about this is that it exports objective-C right into Xcode.

This is similar to one of my side projects called #want: http://www.hashwant.com

mmmmax··on Bread and Circuses: The State of Web App Startups
I wonder how many addictive, self-referencial and narcissistic tweets it took for the author to convince 16,402 people to follow her on Twitter.
mmmmax··on Show HN: Review my project: MarkUp, a tool to draw on any webpage.
I like this a lot, and for quick notes it's easier than Notable. I like the implementation as a bookmarklet, but here are two big problems:

1) Starting MarkUp clears any info you've entered into a form on the page 2) There is no easy way to exit/cancel (how about trapping ESC or adding a little X?)

mmmmax··on Ask HN: What makes a job posting attractive?
I think it's much different for established companies vs. unestablished companies. As someone at a startup which hasn't launched yet, we have to be more descriptive. If you're YC company, or more established - maybe it's enough to say Acme Corp, PHP, email us.

We like to say:

Funded startup looking for a talented Ruby developer to be employee #1 (because that's true, and because there's something unique about being employee #1).

mmmmax··on Ask HN: Who's hiring? (September 2010)
Developer (Ruby) - Los Angles (telecommute for the right dev)

Funded startup in Los Angeles, launching soon, is looking for employee 0x1. Inquire within!

mmmmax··on Ask HN: Contract/Consulting Gigs (September 2010)?
I'm looking for a talented Ruby developer to work with a dedicated team at a funded startup. I will consider someone remote if it's the right fit, though currently the whole team is in Los Angeles. Contact info is in my profile!
mmmmax··on More Startup Ideas
#2 (spontaneous events) is something the startup I'm with is building. If you are interested in being added to a private beta test, here's the link: http://vol.ly/?s=HN
mmmmax··on Ask HN: What is an alternative to Google? Really.
Nice work, as usual, Gabriel.
mmmmax··on Ask HN: What is an alternative to Google? Really.
!bang is the most useful search feature since I'm Feeling Lucky. I submitted this exact feature to Google years ago, and DuckDuckGo's implementation of it caused me to switch search engines.
