Pretty sure they do. I seem to remember an hacking incident from the last 2 years where access to a Gmail account was gained by requesting a password reset to the defunct Hotmail account. Gmail was so nice as to tell you which account they emailed. Not sure if this is still the case.

No source. I just found that shampooing every day caused my hair to get really oily if I missed a single day of shampoo. After not shampooing for an entire week I went down to doing it twice a week and excess oil is no longer an issue.

I have semi-curly hair as well. Going to give no shampoo at all a shot next.

Interesting. I used to shampoo my hair every day, but found out that the more you shampoo it the more oil your hair produces and thus the faster it gets "dirty". So I switched to only doing it twice a week and I have not noticed any negative effect. I think I am going to try dropping it altogether.

Do you use any hair products at all like gel or wax?

You are allowed to use stock images in your designs to figure out if you are actually going to use it. It has an enormous watermark on it that you can't see because of the compression in the video.

Yes it is Photoshop CS3. There is no automated way to go to HTML/CSS. You have to do it manually hence all the paid services.

The photographs are from actual Guestlist events.

If you set overflow to auto on the parent element it will retain its height.

That is an incredibly simple website. It is possible to get away with it when you have such a simplistic website where the secondary content is almost irrelevant as far as importance go.

Now try and apply this design restriction to something other than a blog where actual interaction is required and it will fall apart fast.

This is not a tech problem. It is a design problem.

Good design can't just be "resized". You essentially have to redesign it from the ground up. It takes a significant amount of work. I would rather just use 1024 and have it work on tablets + notebooks + desktops, and then do something separate for mobile. Mobile is such a radically different experience compared to a typical computer you almost have to do it.

Terrible idea. 1024 works very well with the iPad. Unless your app is specifically designed to display large amounts of data I think improving the tablet's browsing experience is too important.

Man I would love to use WePay, but from their website they don't seem to do the same thing as PayPal at all. Can you send any WePay user money via email?

No actually. It is the reason Photoshop is number one. It is an incredibly powerful tool because it doesn't try and tell you how to do things. I personally wouldn't do it that way most of the time, but there is situations where that is the best solution.

No word on Lion having a new Finder app. It is once of the main reasons I prefer Windows over Mac.

As an aside, the Mac App store is actually one of the ideas I applied to YC with. Guess that has no hope now.

I don't know. I love Photoshop. My personal opinion here, but I think it is an incredibly well designed piece of software. Maybe not the Mac version, but the PC version is just well thought out. I just don't see anything that could possibly make me want to switch.

These coins were sold for 5 million a piece, so quite a large markup.

There is? Just drag a tab to the side or the bottom.

Two questions:

1) Is there any process for investing in a company already incorporated in Canada? Could we apply with the assumption we would move it over to the US if accepted?

2) Would YC consider applications for a team with an existing early-stage product on the market?

I have actually been looking for something similar and have considered building it in the past. My biggest concern was how to monetize it. Not sure I would pay a monthly fee for it.

My biggest need was for it to sync names + phone numbers to my phone so I don't run the risk of loosing them when something inevitably happened to my phone.

Pen and paper should be used as a tool to help in the thinking process, but it is not a replacement for real computer mockups.

Sketching doesn't give you a realistic sense of space and feel for web design. Very often you can sketch something that looks good on paper, but once you put it on the screen it just doesn't translate well to a pixel medium.

Sketching is great if you are working with a physical medium like brochures or posters though. Then it doesn't suffer from the same translation cost.

Sure, if you don't know Photoshop very well then you could code it faster. Except you will end up with sloppier code and a weaker design.

It is the equivalent of building a house without blueprints. You can do it, but if you take the time to plan things out before you break ground you will end up with a stronger product.

Now, if you already have a design style locked down and code you can just puzzle together then sure, go ahead and skip Photoshop. I do that as well. But, as soon as I need to design a new UI element I am back in Photoshop making dozens of variations.

Well first off, CSS and design are related by they are not the same thing. You could be the best CSS guru out there, and still not know how to design.

Don't believe what 37 Signals say, if you skip the Photoshop step in the design process then you will end up with crappy looking designs, and most likely, badly functioning ones as well.

If you do hire a designer you should know that there are really two different classes of design when it comes to the web.

First off, there is the normal web designer guys. If you are looking for quality 99 Designs is not the place to go, but it is where a lot of people end up anyways. Go there is you want them to just rip somebody else's design off or use a cookie-cutter template with a few modifications because that is all you are paying them to do and they do not care much for quality. It is a volume business.

A great website designer will run you around $50-75 per hour. D don't expect to get a great website for less than $5,000 if it is a small one and $15,000 if it is medium sized. Good design takes a lot of time and iteration.

The second class of designers are interface designers. While web designers care about the marketing of a product, interface designers care about the functionality of the product and how to make it easy to use. Just because you are good at one doesn't mean you will be good at the other.

Interface designers are rare and go for $100+ an hour if they are really good. The most I have charged for a job doing interface design is $225, but it averages at around $100.

Finally. Been waiting for this for a while. It is still not as good as Mailplane so I will stick with it for now. People that are managing multiple Gmail accounts including google app emails should check it out.

I don't know, I spend 5+ hours a day in Photoshop and I just don't see enough shortcomings to justify trying to build a new app. Photoshop is incredibly powerful and I don't know if I would give up the flexibility just to make things I can already do easier.

Of course Photoshop is incredibly expensive so I can see a market for a <$100 app.

Mostly entirely new professions. Design agencies has a tendency to suck people dry for ideas and then discard them.

There are more designers here than I thought. I do some freelance design when I find a project that is both interesting and well funded. I spend the rest of my time on my startup. (http://www.guestlistapp.com)

Edit: I should add that the reason its easier to find coders is because designers are typically underpaid and treated poorly. It is rare for a designer to stay a designer for more than 5 years. Certainly after 10 years most of them have moved on.

I am one of the co-founders of Guestlist. Wee are not event close to the same scale as Eventbrite, but I can give some insight.

Of all the events hundreds of events we have hosted we have only ever received one complaint from a purchaser. Somebody was apparently using our service to sell "power leveling" sessions for a game the he never received the service after he paid. The ticket price in this case was $20 I believe.

At the same time we have moved over $700,000 in the last 12 months all through PayPal. $20 is a very small percentage so I don't really see events as a high risk. Of course, EventBrite is much larger and they probably attract more scammers.

We exclusively use PayPal as our payment processor and have yet to run into them closing down somebody's account. Our main trouble with PayPal lies in their terrible interface and people being able to override the pingback url.

Both of them have their own payment gateway option. Eventbrite charges an additional 3% for this service.

Perhaps, but I would expect that when the real names are shown people will start posting higher quality message and treat their fellow posters with more respect.

I have been making my real name accessible on a lot of websites and I have never had a problem with people harassing me. In fact, I think it increases the quality of my interactions on average.

PAX is the Penny Arcade Expo. Think of it as E3 for the public.

I think this is because the ipad has a larger screen and thus you need to have more features (and longer dev cycle) on it or it will look empty. There is also the expectation of higher quality apps. Fart and other junk apps probably don't work very well because of this and thus the total app number is much lower.
