wave··on CPUShare: allows anyone to sell their spare CPU cycles
When you think about it, what does your web browser do? It is downloading someone else's code (Javascript, Flash...) and executing it on your machine. Somehow your trust the browser. Why not trust the virtual machine? Maybe if the company only allows Javascript to be executed on the virtual machine, people might feel more comfortable about the idea.

wave··on Thanks for using my code, Google
When I read about Panoramio (Google product) on TC today, I thought about how similar it is with your product. I don't know how long Google has been working on Panoramio, but I think you have a good product. Instead of closing the project down, did you try to get funding and take your service to next level?
wave··on 8 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was 22
I find Steve Jobs' Stanford commencement speech to be a very good real life advice. If you are graduating this year, please watch it and learn from his experience.

wave··on 40GB for $55 per month: Time Warner bandwidth caps arrive

wave··on Revisiting the Black Sunday Hack
Interesting article. Basically, they hired one of the hacker in order to win the electronic warfare (e-war) or cause major damage against the pirated DirecTV cards. After DirecTV destroyed 100,000 smart cards in one evening, "for the first time, they could see a cunning mind at work on the other side."

The easiest way will be to use Alexa Site Thumbnail from AWS http://tinyurl.com/57zbp2 , which charges $0.0002/thumbnail.
wave··on OpenPhotoVR: OpenSource Flash implementation of Photosynth
It doesn't really analyze multiple photographs taken of the same area, but it is good enough photo browser that resembles Photosynth. See the created images of Pioneer Square, Portland.

Note: the site is little slow and sometimes it doesn't load.

wave··on Where are they now? The stories of what happened to ten dot-coms from the first bubble
Thanks for giving feedback. I will have to think about a way to tag each link. I am not sure why the second link doesn't work for you. I can access it even from my mobile phone.

wave··on Help Send Us To Startup Camp + Foo Camp
The most important part of your presentation describing your company/product as "Publictivity is the online social workspace that allows companies to better organize and share information by leveraging the connections around them" needs some rework and you need to come up with a better one liner. Your description might fall into what Greg McAdoo from Sequoia refers to it as "This is technically accurate but totally useless"

Good luck with getting into Startup and Foo Camp

If you want to work for companies that have been funded, most of the venture capitalists have job listing in their websites:

wave··on Man's rare ability may unlock secret of memory
"Give Brad Williams a date, and he can usually tell you not only what he was doing but what world events happened that day ... it seems to indicate there's no -- or not much -- intentional calculation going on"

It seems to me that his memory is indexed by date.

wave··on Why Doesn't Apple Face The Innovator's Dilemma?
To summarize the article "By choosing to compete on design instead of technology alone, Apple seems to have found a loophole in the Innovator's Dilemma."

Can we apply the same type of concept to Internet based company and be successful? Does 37signals use this concept?

wave··on Ask YC feedback: Simply create a single URL from multiple URLs
Thank you for your comment. As it was mentioned, this wasn't to be used just during emailing but it can also be used during texting, chat session and posting comments
wave··on Ask YC feedback: Simply create a single URL from multiple URLs
I had a code to check for a valid url, but removed it because I didn't think it was really necessary. I just want to make it faster and simpler
wave··on Ask YC feedback: Simply create a single URL from multiple URLs
Thanks for all your comments. Relative to how simple it was to create, I thought it worth to put it out there and see if people like it.

[edit]See how it can also be used. See the second comment: http://digg.com/travel_places/Top_Ten_Transportation_Photos

wave··on Ask YC feedback: Simply create a single URL from multiple URLs
I created Fuseurl to simplify sharing multiple URLs. Instead of posting or emailing 10 different URLs, you can just create a single URL and share it. I got the idea when I wanted to text message someone multiple URLs. The site can also be used to create a quick reference to your favorite websites.

I appreciate any feedbacks you have.
