wave··on Well argued iPhone SDK critique (no whining)
Restricting the iPhone’s platform might work for Apple as long as they stay on top of innovation. When Android is released with hardware and start seeing innovative products and services from other companies, iPhone can easily become irrelevant.
wave··on NASA tests Linux for spacecraft control
More on Dependable Multiprocessor: http://nmp.nasa.gov/st8/tech/eaftc_tech1.html

The Problem

radiation hardened electronics are extremely expensive and generally are several generations behind the state of the art of their commercial equivalents. Since a spacecraft's most precious commodities are mass (weight), volume, and power, it is difficult to build a modern, powerful, space-going computer system within acceptable mass, volume and power constraints.

Dependable Multiprocessor experiment is to use a redundant-hardware architecture and advanced-technology, fault-tolerant software to provide a computing system able to operate in the space environment.

wave··on Is $20K worth of development worth 1% of company?
See what YC gives you and what they get:

http://ycombinator.com/faq.html How much do you invest? Usually $5000 + $5000 per founder. So $15,000 for two founders, $20,000 for three. Occasionally we invest more. The goal is usually to give you enough money to build an impressive prototype or version 1, which you can then use to get further funding.

What does Y Combinator get out of this? Stock in the startup, from 2-10% of it. Usually about 6%.
